More importantly, he sometimes comes up with surprising points of view that herald and pave the way for a certain era or orientation. The senior adviser to Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies has recently written an article entitled "The Middle of Nowhere", which might later on be called one of the most important pieces written between the launch of war on Iraq and the election of a new US administration. Luttwak built his article on the idea that 'backward societies should be left alone'. The most important of his arguments are the following: There is a school; among its most outstanding figures may have been late King Hussein of Jordan and his successor King Abdullah II, which never gave up calling on the West to intervene to resolve the Palestinian/Arab-Israeli conflict.

(Reuters) CAIRO — Muslims are taking the brunt of the world's terrorist attacks, which in 2006 rose by 3,000 or 25 percent with the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan serving as a "rallying cry" for terrorists, a report by the US National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) has concluded in its newest report. "As was the case in 2005, Muslims again bore a substantial share of being the victims of terrorist attacks in 2006," said the report, published on the center's website Tuesday, May 1. The Report on Terrorist Incidents 2006 said that some 58,000 individuals worldwide were either killed or injured by terrorist attacks last year.

He signed off on the dissolution of a communist empire – one of the great evils of the 21st century – yet he presided over the creation of a monstrous kleptocracy run by oligarchic fiends and propped up by corrupt bureaucrats. He gave millions their long-cherished freedom, but he impoverished them in the process. Indeed, in the past half-century there has been no world leader more divisive, more contradictory, than Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin. It was easy to adore this large, avuncular man with the boundlessly warm Siberian heart, yet it isn’t difficult to despise him while one sees images of the destruction of Grozny. Yeltsin’s single greatest legacy – ending the Soviet Union – is caught up in the same battle of hearts and minds that grips Eastern Europe today (and is currently being waged in ... >> full

Now several hundred files posted online reveal some of the devilish and disgusting inhuman acts by the bloody US Army. (April 14, 2007) -- The most revealing new information on Iraq -- guaranteed to make readers sad or angry, or both -- is found not in any press dispatch but in a collection of several hundred PDFs posted on the Web. Here you will find, for example, that when the U.S. drops a bomb that goes awry, lands in an orchard, and does not detonate -- until after a couple of kids go out to take a look -- the military does not feel any moral or legal reason to compensate the family of ... >> full
