'The Great Game' Returns

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice completed her visit to Central Asia and Afghanistan last week. This is a tough neighborhood, which plays a key role in the forthcoming global game between the West and the rest.
The U.S. has growing geopolitical competition in the region from Russia, China and the global Islamist movement. Ms. Rice is now playing the 21st Century version of the "Great Game" in which, 100 years ago, the British Empire and Czarist Russia competed over the heartland of Eurasia.

Try Gerhard Schroder's Approval Ratings

In my previous post I noted (borrowing from Powerline) that President Bush's approval ratings weren't all that bad compared to the low points of other Presidents. Its worth noting that they are stellar compared to those of our European allies....
