...strange time for the U.S. State Department to drop China from its list of the world's 10 worst human-rights violators. Evidently a decision was made not to inflame tensions. World leaders will gather respectfully as the athletes march into competition. As for the Chinese dissidents, perhaps they can take heart from a bit of ancient wisdom: The race is not always to the swift...

I am a fan of the President (barely), and even I didn't know about the success in Africa. Too bad Bush doesn't have enough p.r. savvy to put a spotlight on this proud legacy.
