Pitcher Of Hot Chicks

Observatory January 23


Grande and much material on by Yemen 's American Enterprise Institute. Now, in the that was the Arabia Felix of the Romans, are under three conflicts simultaneously: the revolt of the Scythian tribes in the north of Hout, the secessionists in the south and the actions of al Qaeda who enjoys strong support and protection in the "Palace". While the first two insurgencies are political establishment, it is necessary to point out the character of the global threat posed by al Qaida. The advice is to start studying the map the country to be able to locate the sites of clashes, but the 'package' also includes AEI's testimony before the Senate F. Kagan and analysis of actions against al-Qaida .

Other exemplary case, the complexity of the issues involved, is the Somalia , sull'orlo della scomparsa come entità sovrana minacciata dalla criminalità organizzata, dai signori della guerra locali e dalla pirateria. Tutti fattori che la rendono un'ottima base per l'insediamento di Al Qaida. Ma quando si parla di stati falliti non si dice solo sfide alla sicurezza internazionale, ma anche dramma per la popolazione civile, per i milioni di persone minacciate da una crisi endemica. Quali sono allora gli impegni per la comunità internazionale ?

Uno studio ottimo sulle conseguenze degli stati endemici di conflitto, il caso qui dell' Eritrea , è la disgregazione del tessuto di relazioni sociali, elementi da ben tenere presente quando ci si impegna in lengthy and protracted wars such as Afghanistan.

Cases of corruption in Russia this year have increased by 11%. Also interesting is this specification of the nature of the Russian mafia that it is true that there is organized crime, but the Italian is not the right term to define because it refers to a type of lawlessness with close relations with politics, while in the case Russian lacking these ties. It seems to me a little analysis' poor, perhaps a feature of our local mafia was / is also the control of the territory and the alternative function in the administration of justice, and of course use deadly violence.

The Chinese questions - a bit 'too much neglected by our observations - are present in this issue with the report's always well done James Town Foundation. Particularly interesting this article on Security Policy which includes the mission of the Chinese: "1) to support the current status of the People's Republic, 2) defend the sovereignty, territorial integrity and safety in the home to continue the development national, 3) protect the interests of national expansion, 4) help maintain world peace. "

A heavy accusation by Israel against Obama. The U.S. WOULD BE failing to agreements with Jerusalem about the commitments of aid to the armed forces. In fact, all the advantage of the strength of the Israeli army on the Arab countries is based on three assumptions: 1) the quantity and quality of armaments, 2) the tactics and the training of soldiers, 3) the quality of leadership. Israel does not depend only on the last point is crucial for the rest of American aid. Now while there was the Cold War, everything was fine but the collapse of the wall, things have changed, partly because of American alliances with some Arab countries - Saudi, Egypt - which provide the latest weapon systems generation (and, given the vastly superior resources in Riyadh, in quantities far more extensive than those given the IDF) and training, all of the objective tension with Israel.

Here is a press release on the first year of presidency of Obama . There are all the major analysts and commentators: Robert Kagan ( World Affairs ), Abe Greenwald, William Kristol and Fred Kagan, Eliot Cohen, Charles Krauthammer , Akbar Atri and Mariam Memarsadeghi ( Wall Street Journal ), Elliott Abrams wrote ( Weekly Standard ) etc.. There are many challenges to policy Obama's one of the major problems come from the Middle East is in the ability to hold together three challenges at the same time, the process of democratization of the area, the security policy of the United States and a commitment to safeguarding the principles of self-determination people, goals which often collide with each other. In this regard, see this document of ' United States Institute of Peace.


Always by the German Institute of Global and Area Studies is the working paper on ' Algeria and the influence of economic factors, more oil, in the past civil war. As you may have noticed, is plain to see the difference in approach of European think tanks, those Americans, the first more interested in factors of social conflicts.
