It was the first State of the Union address after the 9/11 attacks, and America was leading an invasion of Afghanistan in pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Fittingly, this is where President George W. Bush began on Jan. 29, 2002: As we gather tonight, our nation is at war, our economy is in recession and the civilized world faces unprecedented dangers. Then, about halfway through the address, Bush started to sketch the perceived perils and coined a three-word phrase: axis of evil Iran, Iraq and North Korea. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic. It turned out to be advance billing for the bloodshed, brinksmanship and frustration that would dominate the Bush White House and be passed on to Barack Obama. Ten years later, America still is at war, and the three p...

Peterson then turns his attention to the Dhofar insurgency, with Chapter 3 providing historical and cultural background to Dhofari dissidence, including a description of the evolution of the conflict from a nationalist orientation under the Dhofar Liberation Front (1965-7) to a Marxist ideology under the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (and its various later avatars) from 1968 to 1970, the coup of July 1970 that brought Sultan Qabus bin Sa'id to power, and the next two years of the conflict during which the Sultanate began to score some military successes. In Chapter 3, Valeri describes Sa'id bin Taymur's unification of Oman in 1955 and the subsequent rebellions in Oman proper and then Dhofar, concluding with his overthrow by his son Qabus in July 1970.\n ...
Despite the claim that Kurds intend to remain part of Iraq, it is highly unlikely that they will remain within the country's borders. For the past 80 years or more, Iraq's centralized system of control has failed to accommodate the Kurds, and it is apparent that federalism, too, is a form of government that will fail to satisfy them. The Kurdish goal of independence is apparent in the system they have developed within their state, and this could challenge any future plan for further integration back into Iraq. This goal is also evidenced in popular demands for independence in Kurdistan and in Kurdish politicians' warnings that they will separate if violence, intolerance, or tyranny continue in Iraq. The nature of Iraq's divided society constantly produces civil war and intolerance, and ...

In 1974, SL lost control of the university, but it had already succeeded in creating a "revolutionary consciousness" in the population of Ayacucho.8 Other Latin American communist movements followed Che Guevara 'sfoco method and brought their ideologies to rural areas.9 Guzman's followers were not foreigners or crusading children from the urban middle class, they were a part of the impoverished rural population already. Shining Path could take up the banner of a nationalist movement against foreign intruders and regain widespread popular support.15 On 12 September 1992, Guzman was captured along with several other SL leaders in a raid by DINCOTE (Dirección Contra Terrorismo), an elite group of Peruvian national police that had received extensive support and training from the United Sta...
