Obama Nailed Osama, But Not the Taliban
An Afghan government request that female television presenters don headscarves and avoid heavy make-up angered journalists on Tuesday, who said the move was proof authorities expected the Taliban to regain a share of power…The ministry’s plea came as a surprise to some Afghan media.

Biden Blasts Beijing
Visiting Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping got a red-carpet welcome at the White House and the Pentagon Tuesday. Both occasions were part of a high-stakes Valentine’s Day visit that could set the tone for future relations between the world’s sole superpower and its rising Asian rival four decades after Richard Nixon’s groundbreaking visit.
But at a lavish State Department lunch in his honor, Vice President Joe Biden served up a heaping plateful of criticisms over Beijing’s allegedly unfair trade practices and its human rights record, which Washington has fiercely and repeatedly denounced.
