The first measure would provoke howls from many Cuban exiles in Florida, while the second would irk U.S. business interests that would face competition from Brazilian imports. But if Richard Nixon could go to China, perhaps George W. Bush could discover Brazil--and stop making a failed Caribbean dictator an important element of U.S. policy. It could be that an embattled, second-term U.S. President looking for a legacy other than a botched attempt at installing democracy in faraway lands could warm up to the idea of leaving a permanent...

We wonder no more. Bush's signature second-term domestic agenda--Social Security reform--died a pitiless, lingering death in 2005, as the public simply refused to buy it. His gleeful opening of the fiscal spigot--the biggest increase in public spending since F.D.R.--got deficit hawks squawking enough to force the first tiny potential cuts in pork, if nowhere...
