News Notes

Iraq dominates the NYT editorial page. The five point "Containing the Disaster" editorial is probably a digest of the post election Baker report. Not in order of importance are; fire Rumsfeld, hold local and regional talks, stabilize Baghdad and lastly acknowledge reality. I do not think that Bush reads the NYT any more than he listens to Countdown. We can only expect more of the same.

China's impact on economic growth in developing nations might prove to be more important than all the foreign aid ever given. China's African summit
should not be "watched warily" but embraced. China can export growth in a way which more advanced economies cannot. Human resource development and training and investment will be more suitable to developing economies.
