...taken seriously as agents of social change, they need to consider their own economies as well. Gates is incorrect to brush over the U.S.'s economic woes so lightly, especially when creative capitalism could potentially solve some problems like our own oft-neglected poverty. Only when America proves that capitalism can cure social ills within its own borders should it start looking to prove so abroad. Regina Tavani, Nashua, New Hampshire...

...early to know if McCain's new heat can cut Obama down to size. But if history is any guide, his timing may prove auspicious. It was in August in 1988 and 2004 that the gop and its allies' stealth attacks on Michael Dukakis (regarding his record on crime) and John Kerry (about his patriotism) really gathered steam.

Sharif and Zardari's breakthrough is likely to prove popular, and may even help offset their failures to arrest an overwhelming economic meltdown. It will, for now at least, strengthen their coalition, which constantly threatens to collapse. But they should be prepared for a fight. Musharraf has gambled away a lot to remain in office - he has given up his uniform, allowed his enemies to return from exile, and even overseen a free and fair election where he was dealt several blows. He is unlikely to give up what remains of his power easily. This is a man who said...
