Summary/Abstract

As the A400M saga takes on rather dramatic twists and tempers rise, the temptation becomes nearly overpowering to start pointing fingers. calling names and apportioning blame.This apparently holds true for not only outside commentators such as the undersigned, but even those in government, the military and industry whose decisions and attiitudes in the weeks and months ahead will shape the ultimate fate of the programme.

Baby, the bathwater, and the freedom agenda in the Middle East / Dunne, Michele

Summary/Abstract

In reassessing how to secure U. S. interests while stabilizing the Middle East, the new U.S. administration might well decide to postpone or even repudiate democracy promotion. Democratic systems have hardly bloomed in the region since President George W. Bush announced a "forward strategy of freedom" during a speech commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the National Endowment for Democracy in November 2003.1 In fact, U.S. attention seems to have caused more problems than it solved, particularly in Iraq and Palestine. No one can guarantee that the United States can promote democracy in the Middle East without risking stability and critical interests, making it tempting to at least try to set aside the policy until clearer answers emerge, potentially under the guise of a policy review.
