CJ, > Probably because Congress critters have been making those sort of trips for decades. It's about time we reigned in this kind of maverick diplomacy. Carter was notorious for making such trips and leaving the Clinton administration in a bind. North Korea and Haiti come to mind. Tenchusatsu

How about this for Global Warming??? CBS/AP Never mind the Easter bonnets. In a large swath of the U.S., you had better remember where you put your winter hat and put it on. Just about everywhere east of the Rockies, it's extremely cold for this time of year – with snow in parts of the Northeast and Midwest, and freezing temperatures elsewhere - and it's going to stay this way right through the weekend. Parts of the upper Northeast are slogging through over a foot of snow which closed schools, tangled traffic and knocked out power to more than 180,000 homes and businesses. Frost and freeze warnings are in effect for the next few nights throughout much of the Southeast, while the snow continues to pile up across portions of the Great Lakes and the Northeast, which has seen more snow so far this April than what fell over the entire month of December. The cold weather, says CBS News meteorologist George Cullen, is the result of an intense storm system sweeping down extremely cold air from central Canada on down to the eastern half of the U.S. The result, says Cullen, is temperatures 15 to 30 degrees below normal, with many record lows likely over the weekend, from the Ohio Valley on down to southeast coast.
