Yahoo! News: OpinionOpinionAmerican Image Alright in Asia (RealClearPolitics.com)- June 23, 2008 RealClearPolitics.com - The conventional wisdom holds that the image of America in Asia today is mostly negative. Not so, says a survey published this week, at least in China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Moreover, in perhaps surprising contrast, the survey said China does not fare well among other Asians.http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/oped/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/20080...

WELCOME TO BRITAIN'S BRAVE NEW WORLD (Richard Reeves)- June 20, 2008 Richard Reeves - LONDON -- A prominent, aggressive and ambitious Conservative politician here, David Davis, recently resigned his seat in Parliament to protest a House of Commons vote extending the time a citizen can be held in jail without charges from 28 to 42 days.
