Another show, and more pieces of the puzzle fitted together. We're watching the meeting tomorrow with President Bush and the Baker-Hamilton study group on Iraq; it appears that new overtures will be made to Syria and Iran while America's relationships with Israel and Jordan will be downgraded.
Meanwhile, China is diversifying its currency holdings "without dumping dollars" (yeah, right), Syria is threatening war over the Golan Heights, and the U.S. is preparing to finance and train the Lebanese army.
