Condoleezza Rice, in her first visit to Indonesia as secretary of state, praised its government Tuesday for setting an example of "moderation, tolerance and inclusiveness," and for urging officials in nearby military-ruled Burma to respect human rights...
...Rice visited an Islamic school, where she announced an $8.5 million grant to develop a version of "Sesame Street" for Indonesia...
The "Sesame Street" grant is part of a $157 million, five-year program to improve Indonesian education. The program, announced by President Bush on his visit to Bali in October 2003, followed terrorist bombings on the island a year earlier and at the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta in August 2003. A number of the bombers convicted in those attacks were graduates of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia.
The problem? Osama got there first (though it's old school Sesame Street). Tell me, just who the hell is winning this war on terror?

Maybe the US IS winning since Tickle-Me-Elmo looks pretty happy.
