When I was in Columbia, I was told that the national government could win the war if they could use "napalm." Search and destroy and imprecise bombing can't work. Napalm allows a wider kill zone, and would be especially effective given the availability of infrared enemy detection technology. I would say the end would justify the means given that FARC wealth is compromising national politicians. In the current context of residual Carter era constraints against effective military operations - which cripples US assistance to besieged allies - Chavez is well positioned to seize Columbia, and move on to other targets.

US-SOKOR MILEXS is upsetting the NOKORS, whom reportedly are now threatening to void the new SIX-PARTY TALKS AND ANY RESULTANT NUKE DEAL. Besides the on-going "Islamist countersurge" in the ME + Africa, it strongly appears to follow = promote OSAMA's rant about the US GWOT EFFORTS "ECONOMICALLY BANKRUPTING" THE USA BUT DURING THE MCCAIN-HUCKABEE versus OBAMA-HILLARY CLOSE CAMPAIGNS???
Muslim students at Australian universities have demanded that class schedules be changed to work around their prayer times, and that male and female students be provided with separate cafeterias and recreational areas.
This is in line with similar initiatives in the United States, where the Muslim Students Association carries, on the Muslim Accommodations Task Force page of its website, pdfs of pamphlets entitled How to Achieve Islamic Holidays on Campus, How to Establish a Prayer Room on Campus, and How to Achieve Halal Food on Campus.
The MSA directs Muslim students to present these demands in the context of multiculturalism and civil rights. Most campuses, explains the publication on getting recognition of Islamic holy include respecting diversity as a part of their mission statement. They consider enrollment of diverse students an asset to the community, as they enhance the classroom learning experience and enrich student life. Try to find these statements specific to your campus, and explain that recognition of Islamic holidays would serve as a practical example of upholding these ideals. Rest at link.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
