...Rice demanded an apology from the Khartoum government after members of her traveling party were manhandled by Sudanese security agents; she got one within an hour. At home, Rice has wrested control over the tone and direction of U.S. foreign policy away from war-cabinet hard-liners, curbing their unilateralist bluster. She persuaded President George W. Bush to support negotiations with North Korea and Iran over their nuclear programs, though both countries have balked at offers from the U.S. and its allies.

...Bush's actions in Iraq have proved Osama bin Laden's charge that the U.S. is trying to conquer Islamic lands.

Europe will applaud if the U.S. Supreme Court continues to upgrade legal standards for prisoners at Guantánamo. Few expect Bush's second term to be as unilateralist as the first. But he will be skeptical of treaties and international law. ASIA China's boom makes it an indispensable economic partner for Europe and the U.S., but its cheap wages and huge trade surplus lie behind popular complaints about "exporting American jobs" - which Bush may need to respond to.
