...sure that's the image Obama's looking for. It commends the miniature schnauzer as an excellent watchdog, for a little added security, or the sweet-tempered soft-coated wheaten terrier as a goodwill ambassador, though it "must be handled firmly ... and with consistency," which may be a deal breaker for the candidate of Change...
...Still, Olmert's backtracking on Jerusalem - a deal breaker for the Palestinians - is a significant splash of cold water on the enthusiasm that the Israeli Prime Minister himself expressed two weeks ago in Paris, when he told French President Nicolas Sarkozy that Palestinians and Israelis have never been closer to a peace agreement.

In Mugabe's eyes, his right to rule derives from his status as the leader of the liberation movement, the breaker of white power and the creator of Zimbabwe. Whatever happens in the days to come, this is a watershed moment for the nation and for Africa as they struggle to move beyond the burdens of that history...
