If you were wondering where the latest dispute over aspargus had broken out, which world leader had rigged a dog show, or which country was becoming a stimulus deadbeat, all you needed to do was visit ForeignPolicy.com this week.

Reading between the headlines this week David Rothkopf digs deep to give us the top ten stories we're not reading in the newspapers -- like U.S. Trade Rep Ron Kirk's tax problems, and the success of Clinton's trip to the Middle East. While Tom Ricks adds new perspective by putting two headlines on Russia side-by-side.

The Shadow Government folks keep watch on Obama's moves this week -- the defense budget, his letter to Russia, and his plans for Iraq.

It seems it's time to rethink the peace process... in lots of places. Masood Aziz says failure is not an option in Afghanistan and making excuses isn't a substitute for policy. Nathan J. Brown thinks it's time for Plan B in the Middle East -- cease fires are the way to go. And Tom Ricks warns that leaving Iraq will come at a high price.
