The list of Syrian officials the United States considers to have meddled in Lebanon includes Assaf Shawkat, director of Syrian military intelligence and brother-in-law of Syrian President Bashar Assad; Hisham Ikhtiyar, adviser to Assad; Jama'a Jama'a and Rustum Ghazale, top Syrian military intelligence officials. Ghazale was Syrian intelligence chief in Lebanon when former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed and Syria was forced to withdraw its army from the neighboring country. In Syria, he was put in charge of the Damascus countryside, a region that includes the border with Lebanon. He was one of the security officials interviewed by U. N. investigators in the Hariri bombing. On the Lebanese side the ban included Abdulrahim Murad, former Lebanese minister of defense. Murad is a Sun...

TOKYO - Nationalist Shinzo Abe, a proponent of a robust alliance with the United States and a more assertive military, easily won election in parliament today as Japan's youngest postwar prime minister. Abe got 339 votes out of 475 counted in the powerful lower house, and 136 ballots out of 240 in the upper house, handily defeating Ichiro Ozawa, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan.
This article focuses on the issue of narcotics and Turkey over a 30-year period. Its point of departure is the 1970s, when the opium production crisis in Turkey, and its associated corrosion of relations with the US, had been brought to an end. The article concentrates on the period in the late 1980s/early to mid-1990s, when the hard drugs issue became fused with other security threats like terrorism and state corruption. During this dark period, Turkey's criminal organizations that were trafficking narcotics made significant inroads in alliance-building with parts of the security state. The article ends with the experiences of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the Turkish state succeeded in containing the impact of illicit drugs. The article argues that both external but in particul...

With reference to the U.S. civil rights movement, historian Charles Payne distinguishes between two different activist traditions. In the South there was, he argues, a "community-mobilizing tradition, focused on large-scale, relatively short-term public eventsrc;euro? a "tradition best symbolized by the work of Martin Luther King." At the same time, there was also a "ecommunity organizing tradition," with a "greater emphasis on the long-term development of leadership in ordinary men and women" - epitomized by the likes of SNCC and Ella Baker. Both mass mobilization and long-term leadership development are organizing, and both can be extremely valuable. And, at times, they can overlap. But it's useful to understand that they are distinct processes. A second point: Even during a moment of...

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...

In his speech last week in India, President-select George W. Bush praised India for giving the world mathematics and noted the influence of Mohandas Gandhi on the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. He should have also explained why India is a nuclear power while Blacks in the United States are unable to build a toothpick factory. Although India has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Bush has given India the green light to expand its nuclear arsenal. Despite the Second Amendment, Blacks are unable to possess peashooters. Robert Williams, author of "Negroes With Guns," had to flee the United States, and the FBI destroyed the Black Panther Party for referencing the Second Amendment. Although Gandhi may have embraced passive resistance, he was a nationalist, phil...
Israel had agreed to a two-year freeze in construction on a controversial housing project in East Jerusalem, the State Department announced, but the prime minister's cabinet secretary pointedIy said the freeze covers only the one project and "building is expected to begin soon" in other East Jerusalem neighborhoods. The mayor of Jerusalem quickly chimed in to declare his opposition to any freeze, vowing to continue "planning and construction throughout the city. Washington and Jerusalem say they want to move quickly to direct negotiations - as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, peace cannot be made by "remote control" - but Palestinian President [Mahmoud Abbas] seems to be reading from a different script. He makes no secret that he wants the United States to conduct his negotiatio...

[Barack Obama] issued a comment on UJS. support for Lebanon going forward: "The United States will continue to support a sovereign . and independent Lebanon, committed to peace and the full implementation of all United Nations Security Council resolutions. It seems as if the only way things could go really wrong here is if March 14 very unwisely tries to tear up the Doha power-sharing agreement which could plunge the country back into chaos," wrote Arab opinion and media expert Marc Lynch in Foreign Policy magazine's blog. "I don't think anyone in Washington or Riyadh is advising them to do that." The convoluted system makes for strange political alliances. The March 8 Alliance is led by Hizbullah, an Iranian-sponsored Shi'a militia cum political party cum social welfare organization....
