Careful what you wish for, China may grant it
Conventional theory cannot explain the sudden rise in yields of long-term government bonds in terms of inflationary pressures. Behind the phenomenon is the massive transfer of American wealth to China, much of it presently parked in treasury bonds. If Beijing grants the Bush administration's wish to "buy American", and starts investing its money in more profitable ways - in US stocks, for example - it's time to run for cover. Be careful what you wish for. - Julian Delasantellis

Europe's Irrelevance and the Uncertain Future of the G-8 By: Joschka Fischer | The Daily Star
Two weeks after the Group of Eight leaders met in Germany an impression remains that they wrought a political miracle in Heiligendamm. Three things were supposedly saved at the G-8 summit: world climate, Africa, and relations between Russia and the United States.

A History of Hostility Between Poland and Germany Der Spiegel Under the Kaczynski twins, ties between Germany and Poland have deteriorated to a level of animosity not seen since prior to the fall of the Iron Curtain. This week, the mutual enmity is the main event on the European Union stage.

From Der Spiegel, it was a long time in coming, but finally Germany saw the birth of the new Left Party. Many see it as a collection of demagogues and former communists, but the political establishment is worried it could draw voters away from mainstream parties; and the Social Democratic Party is in trouble. A new poll shows they have their lowest approval ratings since elections in September 2005. The Left opposition in Germany: Why is the Left so weak when so many look for political alternatives?
