ATLANTA The Solid South was a political fact, benefiting Democrats for generations and then Republicans, with Bible Belt and racial politics ruling the day. But demographic changes and recent election results reveal a more nuanced landscape now as the two major parties prepare for their national conventions. Republicans will convene Aug. 27 in Florida, well established as a melting-pot battleground state, to nominate Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. Democrats will toast President Barack Obama the following week in North Carolina, the perfect example of a Southern electorate not so easily pigeon-holed. Obama won both states and Virginia four years ago, propelled by young voters, nonwhites and suburban independents. Virginia, long a two-party state in down-ballot races, had not sided with D...

Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been increasingly involved in stabilization and reconstruction operations throughout the world.2 In many cases, the government has failed to rapidly and effectively respond when necessary. 3 These failures occurred, in large part, because the U.S. Government was not fully prepared to execute these operations.4 This has resulted in the unnecessary loss of human life, increased damage to civilian infrastructure, and increased overall stabilization and reconstruction costs.5 The U.S. Government's lack of preparedness in this area was most readily apparent after the fall of Baghdad.6 The early stabilization and reconstruction efforts in Iraq were met with sharp public criticism and are largely viewed as the catalyst for change in the U.S....
