Our bloggers were keeping tabs on the U.S. president and not all were singing his praises. According to Tom Ricks, the United States is heading down Bush's bumpy road in Iraq. Steve Walt worries that Obama's decision this week to send more troops to Afghanistan is a fateful one, and Dan Twining advises that Obama to give more love to India. (If you have some time on your hands this weekend, see if you can't outdo Rothkopf's list of 20 things that won't survive the crisis.)

Some other can't miss features: Javier Corrales's explanation for why Latin America is becoming more gay-friendly. And FP's Elizabeth Dickinson gives Iraq some advice -- by way of Colombia -- on how to become a hot vacation spot.
