Bernanke has proven himself to be a particularly talented public servant. He saw the credit crisis coming and adjusted the central bank's policies at a rate which was abnormally fast based on Fed history. He offered hundreds of millions of dollars of liquidity to banks that probably would have collapsed without it.

The generals don't share Clinton's view of the Taliban as some sort of external force invading territory the Pakistani military is obliged to protect; on the contrary, odious though it may be to the country's established political class and to the urban population that lives in the 21st century, the movement appears to be rooted...
