Good news follows good news in Afghanistan, as major Taliban fighters give up, although the NYT, WaPo and LAT don't feature it much. Bush's strategy continues to work well despite all the doomsayers. Of course, to get to this point took a couple of years.

In marked contrast, Kosovo continues to be a quagmire and may be deteriorating. When you realize that it has been under UN control for years, it should only be a surprise to doctrinare liberals. Sad, because Clinton did the right thing but the effort needed more follow up. Given the WOT, the US is otherwise engaged. A shame the Euros are yet again asleep at the switch.
