But the truly curious factor that might bring success to Bush is that those who have opposed or resented America s presence in Iraq, such as the Iranian backed Shi a parties now also appear to want Bush s new strategy to succeed.

Most tellingly, during the financial crisis of 1997, it did not adopt IMF policies and as a result had the shortest and shallowest downturn of any of the afflicted countries.

What is curious about Lindsey s argument, however, is that the Fairtrade coffee campaign can be seen as doing just what he recommends encouraging coffee farmers to produce a specialty coffee that brings a higher price. Pro market economists don t object to corporations that blatantly use snob appeal to promote their products.

What s striking about Ortega s move is that he is ready to risk so much political capital, not only expelling Lewites from the party but canceling his challenger s permits to hold political rallies and forbidding him to use Sandinista party symbols.
