...making a joke of democracy. Democracy is not about installing a puppet parliament by forming an alliance with a popular political party; it has to do with having sound institutions and freedom of expression. Musharraf has set Pakistan back many years and undone the past eight years of his rule. Sadly, he was the one who claimed he was liberating Pakistan from the shackles of backwardness. Syed Arif Rehman, Karachi...
That real business action is in China. "Just as the 19th century belonged to England and the 20th century to America, so the 21st century will be China's turn to set the agenda and rule the roost," Rogers says. Not exactly a new thought but one that he explores diligently. Rogers' leading evidence?

Give it 20 to 30 years, he says, and China will pass the U.S. as the world's biggest economy...
There's an odd phenomenon being reported in tony enclaves across the country: highly educated, highly compensated couples popping out four or more children--happily and by choice.

Andrew L. Schlafly, Jr. '10, who chairs Harvard Students for Huckabee, pointed out a Rasmussen poll released yesterday that, for the first time, shows former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee leading among Republican primary voters nationwide. But the representative...
...heart of a national political standoff that a few days ago reached a remarkable milestone: six months after Belgium's general election on June 10, the nation still has no government. Yves Leterme, whose Flemish Christian Democrat party was the biggest winner in that election, promised more self-rule for Flanders in areas such as taxation, social security, economic policy and immigration. But French-speaking parties whose support he'd need for a majority balked at his demands. So earlier this month, Leterme abandoned his stop-and-start efforts to forge a coalition government for Belgium. The political limbo...
