I don't know how wise it is for Koizumi to say anything because of the implications of a Kerry victory, but his comment is welcome just the same.

The Belmont Club

has a take on the Kerry's Undeclared War from the NY Times.

the quote that sticks out to me:

[when asked how 9/11 changed Kerry personally or politically]

''It accelerated -- '' He paused. ''I mean, it didn't change me much at all. It just sort of accelerated, confirmed in me, the urgency of doing the things I thought we needed to be doing. I mean, to me, it wasn't as transformational as it was a kind of anger, a frustration and an urgency that we weren't doing the kinds of things necessary to prevent it and to deal with it.''

An interesting take on Carter's presidential legacy

From yesterday's Kansas City Star business section:

"One of the most critical moments in America's economic history occurred 25 years ago this week. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker unveiled what proved to be his highly successful plan to slay the hyperinflation dragon.
The resulting agony doomed Jimmy Carter to a one-term presidency, which Carter probably sensed was his fate when he chose Volcker to be his general in the war against inflation. Thus, Carter deserves much more credit than he gets for his political courage in the name of ridding the economy of hyperinflation's curse.
Unless Carter had chosen a person with the strength of Volcker's convictions, it's unlikely the past two decades of prosperity would have been possible."

UN Oil for Fraud getting more exposure with Duelfer report

Bush can use the fraud angle to show that Saddam was beating the UN sanctions (or as Bush already said yesterday, that he was 'gaming the system,') to validate the timing of the war. He can also use it to dismantle Kerry's claim that he can bring allies on board as well as his charge that Bush failed the global test. Some takes on the report & the scandal here and here and here. Bush will have to delicately avoid coming down on the countries that were heavily involved in the scandal, lest he put off our allies as well.
