...latest turmoil has its roots in the meltdown of a once hopeful alliance that united four African nations--Uganda, Angola, Rwanda and Burundi--with the promise of establishing a stable, democratic Congo. But the alliance, formed in 1996 to speed the ouster of longtime Congolese leader Mobutu Sese Seko, was split almost instantly by self-interest, greed and ambition. Laurent Kabila, the onetime Congolese rebel installed at the head of the new Congo government, is fighting against three of his ex-allies--Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi--in a desperate war to preserve his rule.

Analysts don't seem to want to hear about it. They look at Polo/RL as a high-cost operator, a dandy living beyond its means.

Might happen. Might not. I view this skittishness as merely the latest pendulum swing in Wall Street's obsession with inflation. It will swing the other way soon enough. In fact, the T-bond yield fell to 5.59% Friday. Still, we have to live with bond traders' anxieties, and for now that means higher mortgage and other rates...
