  • 14 Sep 2009 - - New York Times - A Somber Warning on Afghanistan Global Strategic Review 2009In a speech opening a weekend gathering of military and foreign policy experts, Mr. Brzezinski, who was national security adviser when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in late 1979, endorsed a British and German call, backed by France, for a new international conference on the country. He also set the tone for a weekend of somber assessments of the situation.
  • 13 Sep 2009 - - Jerusalem Post - 'Iran won't discuss its nuclear rights' Global Strategic Review 2009Iran could be dissuaded from its nuclear course, but the time constraints were severe, Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor, who is a member of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's inner cabinet, said on Friday. "If there is enough political and economic action put together, there is a good chance that Iran will listen to reason. I don't think they are irrational," Meridor said. But, he cautioned, the Islamic republic was already "not very far away" from being able to construct nuclear weapons.
  • 13 Sep 2009 - - Observer - How Islamists track and kill Iraq's gays IISS LogoDr Toby Dodge, of London University's Queen Mary College, believes that the violence may be a conse-quence of the success of the government of Nouri al-Maliki.

"In my view, we are in fact running the risk of replicating, obviously unintentionally, what happened to the Soviets," he said during the conference.
  • 12 Sep 2009 - - Associated Press - British official: Remain committed to Afghanistan Global Strategic Review 2009Britain's special representative to Afghanistan says he remains committed to help bringing peace to Afghanistan but the country needs long-term funding from all nations involved.
