  4. GOP, Democrats continue to dispute regarding Benghazi deaths

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Politicians love few things better than a scandal to trip up their opponents, and Republicans hope last year's fatal attack on U.S. diplomats in Libya will do exactly that to Hillary Rodham Clinton and other Democrats.

  6. Winners and losers in Venezuela's presidential election

    Venezuela's National Electoral Council declared Nicolas Maduro, the handpicked successor of the late President Hugo Chavez, the winner in the presidential election Sunday. But it was a victory in a compromised system that tilted the table in his favor.

  7. Gridlock, Tehran-style

    With the United States locked in confrontation with Iran, was it good or bad for diplomacy that "Argo," a movie about U.S. spies getting the best of the Iranians, won this year's Academy Award for best picture? Depends on whom you ask. To Iran's...

  8. Guillermo Martinez: Dictators, elected strongmen, still rule in Latin America

    As a young man, I realized that in Latin America many of the governments in the hemisphere were ruled by dictators, generals or, as they were known back then, caudillos. Venezuela was governed by Gen. Marcos Pérez Jiménez, Perú by Gen. Manuel Odría;...

  9. Lessons for Both Parties From the 2012 Elections

    The 2012 U.S. elections, though they weren’t seminal, revealed much about the nature of the body politic and the direction of American politics.

  10. Relentless swing-state focus paid off for Obama

    In the aftermath of President Barack Obama's near-sweep of the critical Electoral College swing states last month, post-election analysis of the keys to his decisive victory has paid scant attention to one important factor: Mr. Obama's disproportionate focus on swing states began soon after his inauguration and continued throughout his term in office.

  12. Don't rush out of Afghanistan

    With Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his top advisers visiting Washington this week, huge questions about the future of the NATO mission there consume Afghan and American minds. How fast can we draw down our current total of 68,000 U.S. troops (and another 30,000 or so from other outside countries) before the mission formally concludes at the end of next year? And how many forces do we have to keep in Afghanistan afterward? These questions come on top of other decisions we have been making lately, about the long-term size of the Afghan army and police and about foreign aid levels the international community will provide to Afghanistan for many years.
