When you put the Olympics in the hands of a dictatorship, the results are predictable. Yet the Chinese government still found a way to surprise even its critics &#8212; not so much by behaving oppressively but by doing so in a foolish and entirely unnecessary way.

Barack Obama has paid his first visit to Iraq, just as the Iraqi government explicitly matched the Democratic presidential candidate&#8217;s 16-month timetable for the removal of American combat troops.
