...vastly overestimated how important people smuggling is, and vastly underestimated how important Indonesia is," says White. Instead, White believes that Australia should demonstrate more engagement with Indonesia's economy, the third fastest growing in Asia, as well as their strategic position in the South East Asian region. "Rudd doesn't seem interested in how far the country has come in the last ten years and how far it will continue to grow. We see it as a big country, but a weak country... Indonesia is actually a very strong country, that's vital to Australia's future," says White...
...that doesn't sound definitive, it's because, as the authors freely admit, it isn't: climate science continues to evolve as new evidence comes in. Indeed, back in 2006, even before the latest IPCC report was complete, researchers in Britain were already planning to launch an update. Helmed by the U.K.'s Met Office (formerly known as the Meteorological Office), the update, published March 5 in the journal Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, is based on more than 100 peer-reviewed post-IPCC studies. The new data may shift the evidence for climate change, but none of it weakens...

Along the way, the situation in Afghanistan was criminally neglected as well. This remains an astonishing record of incompetence. Rove doesn't mention it at all. (See pictures of Karl Rove and George W. Bush...
...intensity of the violence doesn't yet rival the worst of the riots that racked Greece in December 2008, when the fatal police shooting of a 15-year-old boy sparked weeks of street protests and vandalism. But since the government announced the second round of austerity measures, the pace and scale of the protests have escalated. Polls also indicate that popular support for the government's handling of the crisis is slipping - a recent survey by the Sunday edition of To Vima, an Athens newspaper, for instance, showed that most Greeks think it will take a long time...
