...clear strategy: even at this late date the White House still doesn't have a plan for protecting American interests in Pakistan without Musharraf. In essence Bush and the White House are winging it, trying to back Musharraf down from the current crisis while coming up with a longer-term approach to securing U.S. interests in the region...
...agricultural-impact models to estimate that in the absence of action, by the 2080s, global warming will reduce agricultural productivity 30% to 40% in India, 15% to 25% in Africa and Latin America, and 20% to 35% in the southern U.S. and Mexico. And if we consider the longer-term catastrophic risks from the runaway greenhouse effect, shutdown of the Gulf Stream and collapse of the West Antarctic ice shelf, curbing carbon dioxide emissions is a small price to pay for insurance, even though adaptation will also be needed.

...without once citing the most basic cause: overpopulation. Japan learned this more than 50 years ago and now it has been one of the most prosperous nations on earth. China and India are also curbing birth rates and their economies have vastly improved. You can search for those "longer-term solutions," but you never state the simplest answer. Fewer mouths to feed means more food to eat. Brian Bate, Cebu, The Philippines
...might turn into deflation. So it cut short-term rates even further, reducing them to 1% in 2003, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond--a key benchmark of long-term rates--dropped as low as 3.13%. The result: a real estate boom, as ultra-low mortgage rates made houses affordable at ever higher prices. Cash from refinancings and home-equity loans also kept consumer spending strong. By mid-2004, confident that deflation was out of the picture, the Fed began raising rates again. But the longer-term interest rates, the ones controlled by investors, stayed stubbornly...
