  • A close reading of Linn's work shows that the true American way of war has been one of adaptation and flexibility, and not a rigid ideological attachment to seeking out the next Napoleonic battle of Austerlitz.3 Regrettably, the American Army's new way of war, otherwise called population-centric counterinsurgency, has become the only operational tool in the Army's repertoire to deal with problems of insurgency and instability throughout the world. General Stanley McChrystal's recently released command guidance to forces in Afghanistan employs all of the dictums of population-centric counterinsurgency and confirms this strategy of tactics.\n In other words, they did not see military operations as ends in themselves but instead as a means to achieve policy objectives.

  • The dry, desert air in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh can swing 50 degrees from day to night. Designing a comfortable building that uses way less energy in the harsh climate is a challenge. One idea is to take some hints from how plants and ancient people survived. That thinking led Fore Solutions, a green building consultant in Portland, to suggest strategies that incorporate natural ventilation, thermal mass and indirect daylight into the Museum for the Built Environment, now rising in the King Abdullah Financial District.
