Commentary: From riches to rags
Washington (UPI) May 5, 2008
Globalization was supposed to lift all boats, some faster than others. And the proliferation of democracies around the world would put the seal of good government on this peaceful process. But globalization has also spawned multiple uncertainties. Players improvise the rules as they go along. Hedge funds and derivatives have left government regulators in the dust. And the middle classes see ... read more

  • Deadly Israeli raids follow daring Gaza crossing attack
    Gaza City (AFP) April 20, 2008
    Israeli forces carried out deadly air strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, a day after Hamas militants detonated explosives-laden vehicles at a border crossing, wounding 13 soldiers. Overnight air raids killed six Palestinian fighters, all members of Hamas, the Islamist movement that violently seized Gaza last year and that refuses to recognise Israel's right to exist. The air attack ... more

    Commentary: Puncturing Mideast myths
    Washington, April 16, 2008
    To paraphrase Winston Churchill on the Battle of Britain: Never in the field of Middle Eastern reporting was so much owed by so many to so few. In fact, to one man. Martin Sieff's "Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East" is a superb compendium that should be required reading for anyone reporting on what diplomats prefer to call the Near East. Whether Middle or Near, it's where ... more

    Analysis: A change in the Middle East?
    Washington (UPI) April 14, 2008
    There are changes in the cards for the Middle East, predicts a Lebanese politician. Dory Chamoun, leader of the National Liberal Party, told this reporter that before there could be peace, there would be a new war between Israel and Syria; that Bashar al-Assad had a hand in former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri's assassination; and that Hezbollah's power in Lebanon -- already reduced to ... more

    Israel concludes largest civil defence drill
    Jerusalem (AFP) April 10, 2008
    Israel wound up its largest ever civil defence exercise on Thursday with a simulation of a chemical weapons attack on a hospital and claimed the five days of drills worked well. In the final drill a hospital in the northern city of Afula was evacuated during a simulated chemical weapons strike, a military spokesman said. The home front manoeuvre was aimed at preparing Israel for possible ... more

    Analysis: It's springtime; war in the air
    Washington, April 7, 2008
    It's springtime in the Middle East once again, and that usually means that fighting season may breakout soon. Unless...The current stalemate in the Middle East peace process compiled with the buildup of tension on several fronts may result in an explosion of violence before any new breakthrough, such as renewed peace efforts are seriously undertaken. In fact, given the current condition ... more

    Last French World War I veteran dies at 110
    Paris (AFP) March 12, 2008
    The last French veteran of World War I, an Italian immigrant who lied about his age to join the Foreign Legion and fight in the trenches, died Wednesday aged 110, President Nicolas Sarkozy said. Lazare Ponticelli, the last of more than eight million men who fought under French colours in the 1914-18 war that tore Europe apart, died at the home he shared with his daughter in Kremlin-Bicetre ... more

    Analysis: New threats for NATO
    Berlin (UPI) Mar 11, 2008
    As threats become increasingly asymmetrical, NATO and national military powers are under pressure to update the look and feel of their armed forces. NATO, once an alliance aimed at stopping Soviet tanks at the height of the Cold War, is facing an epochal change, its Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said Monday in Berlin. "We are no longer facing a classic military threat," ... more

    Analysis: Israel intel warns of new threat
    Washington (UPI) Mar 10, 2008
    President George W. Bush had promised he would help usher in peace in the Middle East through his efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian dispute -- the core conflict in the Middle East -- before his term as president expires in January 2009. But try as he may, the U.S. president is not getting much help from those he is trying to help. Rather, what the president is getting are ... more

    Whiff of war hangs over Colombia-Ecuador-Venezuela dispute
    Caracas (AFP) March 5, 2008
    The crisis gripping South America took a step closer to open conflict Wednesday, with Venezuela saying 10 battalions were now on the Colombian border, and Ecuador warning "ultimate consequences" could ensue. The developments increased pressure on frantic diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute, which has raised the specter of OPEC members Venezuela and Ecuador, led by leftists, going to ... more

    Analysis: Mideast situation heats up
    Washington (UPI) Mar 03, 2008
    Like a macabre jigsaw puzzle, the pieces for a generalized Middle East flare-up are slowly -- and dangerously -- falling into place. All the ingredients are there: Relations between Saudi Arabia and Syria have reached a breaking point over Damascus' interference in Lebanese political affairs; Israel is threatening an all-out assault on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for Hamas' shelling ... more

    Analysis: President Bush's Herculean task
    Washington (UPI) Jan 21, 2008
    While on his tour of the Middle East a couple of weeks ago, President Bush said he would see the creation of a Palestinian state before his term in office expires. As of Monday, the president will have 364 days left in office, one day short of a full year. And the clock is ticking. Considering what is at stake in solving the crisis in the Middle East, 364 days is a very short time in w ... more

    Commentary: Mission unaccomplished
    Washington (UPI) Jan 18, 2008
    President Bush's Air Force One was still airborne on its way back from a six-country, eight-day tour of Middle Eastern capitals when agreements and understandings began to unravel. Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah was noncommittal on pumping more crude oil. With oil near $100 per barrel, all OPEC countries are already siphoning off at full capacity and the desert kingdom's now small extra c ... more

    Bush opens Mideast tour with new warning to Iran
    Jerusalem (AFP) Jan 9, 2008
    US President George W. Bush issued a new warning to regional archfoe Iran on Wednesday as he began a Middle East tour under the shadow of a weekend naval face-off between the two countries. Bush threatened Iran with "serious consequences" if it attacked US warships, saying "all options" were on the table to protect US assets after Sunday's standoff in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

    NATO adapting to avoid civilian deaths: Scheffer
    Kabul (AFP) Nov 22, 2007
    Civilian casualties are unavoidable when NATO forces fight the Taliban in Afghanistan but they have adapted their tactics to try to reduce them as much as possible, the NATO chief said Thursday. Several hundred civilians are believed to have been killed by international soldiers fighting the insurgents but no official figure has been released. President Hamid Karzai has often demanded tr ... more

    Analysis: Say when, madam secretary
    Washington (UPI) Nov 6, 2007
    U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has borrowed a chapter or two from Henry Kissinger's book of applied negotiations as she headed back out to the Middle East for her eighth visit to the region in the last six months. Kissinger, of course, was secretary of state under Richard Nixon and was the one who invented the concept of shuttle diplomacy. Fully determined not to walk away wi ... more
