...Myers:I'm plenty willing to give George Bush credit for appointing women. Karen Hughes, Condoleeza Rice, Dana Perino...I applaud the president for that, and I'm not quick to applaud him on a lot of fronts. I'm not sure Hillary's argument had great legs anyway. More women is good for women, whether it's Republican or Democratic, not because it makes political sense, but because it makes government better.

No harm in that, but the real lesson of the past few years is that the Chinese get it. Alarmed by the potentially destabilizing impact of nuclear weapons on the peninsula, Beijing, Pyongyang's old ally, has been deeply engaged...
...proposed reforms will still have to pass through a deeply divided parliament next week. Government members of parliament have told reporters that they feel obligated to do the minimum to accommodate opposition demands, rather than engage in what U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on a recent trip to Kenya, called "real" power-sharing. Meanwhile, the opposition parties do not have enough seats in parliament to approve the reforms alone; another coalition of votes would be needed...
