...Tylenol had a product-safety scare, and the government didn?t bail them out. But since Osama bin Laden declared war on our economy, Washington has decided that keeping the wobbly airline industry aloft is a matter of national security. Letting Alan Greenspan decide how to dole out the $10 billion should ensure a thoughtful distribution. But it?ll be up to Congress to decide whether they want this bailout to be a one-time rescue - or the beginning of a serious welfare addiction...

...Although they've promised wholesale cooperation with the U.S. against Osama Bin Laden's netoworks - which, after all, are dedicated to overthrowing pro-Western regimes throughout the Arab world - the Arab allies have insisted that Washington provide political cover by intervening more forcefully to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This week's sharp uptick in violence in the West Bank and Gaza may portend trouble for some of the Arab alliance partners if it precedes U.S. military strikes in Afghanistan. But their load is lightened, somewhat, by the fact that the primary form of cooperation the U.S. needs from them...
...Pakistan may be in an even more precarious position, with a strong domestic Islamist constituency denouncing the military government's decision to support U.S. action and threatening to retaliate. Still, Pakistan remains the key ally in efforts to get Bin Laden, because of the deep involvement of its intelligence agency in the affairs of the Taliban. While intelligence cooperation from Pakistan remains the West's best bet for striking directly at Bin Laden, sensitivity to the fragility of the regime of general-turned-president Pervez Musharraf appears to have persuaded the U.S. not to ask for much in terms...
...staging ground raises the importance of Uzbekistan for U.S. operations inside Afghanistan. While the overwhelmingly Muslim former Soviet Republic run as something of a dictatorship by President Islam Karimov is not exactly a natural ally for Washington, there are sound reasons for making common cause.

And cooperating with the U.S. also offers Uzbekistan an opportunity to break out of its traditional geopolitical dependence on Moscow...
