Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke with the Mexican foreign secretary to guarantee that there will be an independent investigation and that they will take the appropriate actions. This seems to us to be an adequate attitude.

Secretary Clinton has dramatically changed the face of U.S. foreign policy globally for the good. But I wish she had been unleashed more by the White House.

Sen. Rand Paul is a Different Kind of Republican. He will drag the party, kicking and screaming, toward a new kind of conservatism that appeals more to today's youth, who embrace liberty and are skeptical of foreign intervention.

Sofia will be an opportunity for foreign ministers to look forward to Riga. Indeed, this whole ministerial meeting is a stepping stone toward the very important Riga summit. But they will have a discussion on enlargement.

So far, the refunding has been a mixed bag. The three-year saw little foreign interest and had a low bid-to-cover, but the 10-year went a little better yesterday.

'Shortly Thereafter' chronicles all the aspects of an Afghanistan deployment, from the terrors of the unknown that await before leaving, to the perverse thrills and adrenaline rushes found in combat, to the return home to a land and a people now more foreign than the war itself was.

Simply put, Canada's balance of payments remains exceptionally strong. It is very tough to make the case that the Canadian dollar is wildly overvalued when the country continues to chalk up solid current account surpluses and net inflows in foreign direct investment.

Since the tax reform in 1994, China has applied two tax systems to foreign and domestic companies. Although both systems stipulate a tax rate of 33 percent, foreign companies could pay much less tax than domestic ones because of more preferential treatment.

Since the 1920s, when some U.S. cruise ships decided to fly a Panamanian flag to avoid Prohibition regulations, ships have commonly flown the flag of countries foreign to their owners. The benefits are obvious: lower taxes, laxer labor and safety laws.

Since suicide terrorism is mainly a response to foreign occupation and not Islamic fundamentalism, the use of heavy military force to transform Muslim societies over there, if you would, is only likely to increase the number of suicide terrorists coming at us... Suicide terrorism is not a supply-limited phenomenon where there are just a few hundred around the world willing to do it because they are religious fanatics. It is a demand-driven phenomenon.

Most of these kids don't live on farms. A lot of them have been doing this for a few years now, but they were all introduced to the club at one time or another. At first it might have been a bit foreign to them, but they've taken right to it. Kids are kids.

No one is coming here for philanthropy. I'll welcome foreign investment, whatever the industry, as long as it creates an asset, creates employment and gives us technology.

Moreover when Reagan and the President were compared on the handling of a series of issues of foreign affairs and dealing with Congress.

Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army, which may rather be called a great rabble, our credit and reputation lost, and great part of the country; and a powerful foreign enemy advancing upon us, are so many difficulties we cannot surmount them.

Neither spin nor propaganda will do. And what the studies show is what's needed is a radical transformation of American foreign policy

My sense is that at least in this state, Kerry is playing to tie on the foreign policy questions and the so-called values issues, the shorthand for which is God and guns.

'We would normally expect to do our own intelligence reporting,' Smale replied. She added that 'we could get no confirmation or comment.' In other words, U.S. intelligence officials refused to confirm or discuss the memo -- so the Times did not see fit to report on it.

Only the amnesty leg 'worked.' That is, a lot of foreign lawbreakers got full amnesty, and it spurred a lot more mass illegal immigration.

Only one measure has ever stopped the growth of foreign oil imports and helped the Big Three auto makers stave off foreign competition: increased fuel efficiency standards for American-made cars.

On the broader scale, we hope this event will contribute to their lifetime learning. It's becoming very important to know a foreign language in this world.

On the one hand, being labeled a foreign exchange manipulator is a toothless policy because it simply requires bilateral talks. Big deal. On the other hand, by citing them the administration demonstrates to an uppity Congress that it is on the case and steals their thunder.

One of the issues that I've raised on the Foreign Relations Committee, and I raised it when Secretary Locke came for his confirmation hearing, is, you know, it is in our benefit to develop a workable, positive formula with China.

I would continue my foreign policy, but also would pay more attention to developing internal infrastructure in preparation for EU membership,

If we're going to become less reliant on foreign energy, we're going to have to let business explore and produce sources of energy here at home. You can't have it both ways.

If we continue with our current patterns of spending above our incomes, by 2013 the U.S. foreign liabilities could be as high as 75 percent of GDP and an increasing fraction of such liabilities will be in the form of equity.

I distinctly remember watching Daniel Day Lewis in 'My Left Foot,' and my parents were discussing the fact that he's an actor. To me, it was a foreign concept. I was like, 'Someone is pretending to do that? That's so awesome!' After that, it just stayed in the back of my mind.

I don't expect foreign exchange students to get a diploma, but I think they should at least get some recognition.

I'd like to reiterate that it's a priority of Kyrgyzstan's foreign policy to develop relations with China,

I don't believe that the people are naive enough to accept the prime minister's assertion that foreign affairs and other issues will be resolved if the postal services are privatized.

I do not think this will affect the outlook of foreign investors in the Philippines, because the Supreme Court has also ruled on the same issue already. But police authorities have to move fast and solve this case.

I deal with the authors I work with, agents, and other departments of the company, talking about both the books that I'm working on and everyone else's. Then there's dealing with foreign publishers: foreigners visit all the time. People want to bounce things off the publisher, and a lot of it is encouragement.

I'd accuse (judges or justices who rely on foreign law) of getting it wrong on that point and I'd hope to sit down with them and debate it and reason about it,

I am proud to say that fully committed foreign aid, not merely pledges, now stand at 6.5 billion dollars,

I am sure the key role in the implementation of our goals will go to our business structures and their establishments in the face of commerce and trade chambers. It is important that we can do it now jointly using the mechanisms and potential of the Russian-Arab business council, which is actively supported by the Russian Foreign Ministry,

I am starting to like L.A., but the concept of a place you have to get used to so much seems a little weird to me. I have been to many foreign cities where I didn't have to acclimatize as much as I did to L.A.
