In order to have any chance of winning the war in Afghanistan, NATO's European member states will have to remove caveats on how and where their troops can fight and work together more closely, according to a former British diplomat who oversaw reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan. In return, the United States should radically alter its strategy and engage insurgents instead of fighting them, says Daniel Korski, a fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, in a new report.
The United Nations' ability to protect international human rights is consistently undermined by Russia and China. This has been painfully apparent throughout 2007-08, especially when it comes to humanitarian crises in Africa. Among the most notorious examples have been the U.N.'s inability to stop the Darfur genocide or to halt Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's brutal persecution of political opponents.

Yet having pledged itself to unceasing belligerency, Hamas claims victimhood when Israel imposes a blockade to prevent Hamas from arming itself with still more rockets.
