...world's finance ministers wring their hands over the global financial crisis, a quieter multilingual chorus of dismay is emanating from the military compounds and foreign offices of one of the planet's most powerful nations. Afghanistan, NATO's first post-Cold War, non-European experiment and the U.N.'s most significant mission to date, has been termed a failure, leading many decision makers to contemplate the unthinkable: negotiations with the very same Taliban leadership that was defeated in 2001.

Cuba's epic economic inefficiencies are his pet peeve; and when he took the microphone last July 26 in Fidel's place, he gushed less about socialism's glories and railed more at the country's "deficiencies, errors and indolent bureaucratic attitudes." As a result, many expect...
