No one seems to be writing opinion pieces quite the way I would, so I decided to do it myself.

The name? Taverns are places where one goes to discuss the interesting events and things in the world, so this is my tavern.

I will offer my views on politics, economics, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I will occasionally publish the entire article from another journal for purposes of causing discussion.

 

Bush's East Asia Problems

Beyond the Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad in which Bush sneaked in like a thief in the dark of night and stayed only two hours, his recent trip to the Far East does not get great reviews, either. Fareed Zakaria had this to say in the Washington Post. Similarly, Jane Perlez has these comments in the New York Times.
