WASHINGTON - The Obama administration's top trade official said Friday he is "dumbfounded" and "shell-shocked" by Senate Republicans who blocked action on three free trade agreements the GOP largely supports.
In an interview with The Associated Press, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said he was caught by surprise when GOP senators didn't show up at a hearing Thursday to consider trade pacts with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. Republicans object to Democrats' decision to link the deals to the renewal of a program that retrains workers hurt by foreign trade, and want to consider the program separately.

Changes in the strategies of multinationals and in the global distribution and movement of technologists have accelerated a "new" globalization of engineering. Field studies with our colleagues in China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S., lead us to consider in this paper aspects of the recent offshoring of advanced engineering to emerging economies. We examine the potential consequences for multinationals and their home countries of the new globalization of engineering, many of which are unintended, suggesting the need for greater attention by managers, government policymakers and scholars.

SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea will consider resuming humanitarian aid to impoverished North Korea but it has ruled out assistance on the large scale of previous, more liberal administrations, a senior official said Sunday.
Any such assistance would be the first from the conservative administration of President Lee Myung-bak, who has linked aid to the North's progress in getting rid of its nuclear programs.

When President [Bush] began his invasion of Iraq, there were very few nations which agreed with supporting the United States in this war Without the support of the International Community, President Bush was able to persuade 41 nations to come together and deploy troops as a part of his "Coalition of the Willing" in the Iraq war. Still, with 40 other nations involved, the United States represents 98 percent of the total combat force. It is clear that these other nations were not enthusiastic and were somewhat reluctant to be a part of this coalition. Even before the announcement made by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, this coalition has seen its numbers reduced 41 to 25 nations with every indication that South Korea, Poland and Lithuania will join Denmark and consider plans for compl...

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea threatened more nuclear tests and said Wednesday it would consider additional sanctions an act of war, stoking tensions in an already jittery Asia.
Unfazed by the latest threats, Japan banned all North Korean imports - such as clams and mushrooms - and barred the North's ships from its ports.

Indiscriminate criticism of President George W. Bush is an infectious disease. Some conservatives seem to have caught it, but congressional Democrats might be crippled by it.
Consider some conservatives' reflexive rejection of the administration's achievement - with China, Russia, South Korea and Japan - of an agreement that might constrain North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Voicing the obvious with a sense of originality, critics exclaim that North Korea is a serial liar. And, echoing the equally reflexive disparagement of the agreement by some liberals, these conservatives say it is not significantly different than President Bill Clinton's 1994 agreement, which failed.
