Leno Calls Afghan Aid Shortfalls a Warning to Bush
Actress and activist Leno criticizes U S aid to Afghanistan, citing Brookings data that shows only about 1.42 billion of 4.68 billion pledged from 2001 to 2004 disbursed, and urges the administration to finish rebuilding Afghanistan, root out warlords, and turn a poor situation into a successful international effort.

Bush South Asia trip judged not historic or necessary
UCLA Professor Tom Plate argues that President Bush's South Asia visit is not historic or essential, contrasting it with Clinton’s 2000 trip and tracing policy shifts in the 1990s. He cites Asia’s rise, the 1997 crisis, India and Pakistan nuclear tests, and policy missteps toward China and Iraq as factors delaying U.S. attention to Asia.
