Global confidence in Indonesia's prospects has also improved somewhat. In March, the country successfully raised $1 billion in its first international sovereign-bond issue since the 1997 Asian crisis...
...transfer of political authority on June 30 is extremely premature. By that date, there will not be a sovereign government with any political legitimacy. And here's another challenge we face: we need to put the training of Iraqi security services--the police, army, border patrol and others--solely under the control of the U.S. military instead of the Coalition Provisional Authority and give these Iraqi recruits more money.

Yet even so, we must oppose the recent Israeli assassination of Yassin, along with all other assassinations by all sovereign governments. The rule of law is the most potent weapon in the arsenal of democratic countries, and it, not missile strikes, is the most just and effective way to deal with even the most violent lawbreakers...
