This plan came to fruition in April when the UC voted to cede responsibility for campus-wide social events to a board that would later become the College Events Board (CEB).

...recognizes that defeating the insurgency requires political concessions to the Sunni community, in which the insurgency is deeply rooted - the latest Pentagon polling reportedly finds that three-quarters of the Sunni population back the insurgents. That's why the U.S. has pressed Maliki to offer amnesty to insurgents, to cede more political authority to Sunnis and, most urgently, to rein in the Shi'ite militias that terrorize Sunni communities in retaliation for insurgent atrocities.

The Lebanese government doesn't appear to have much enthusiasm for confronting Hizballah on the disarmament issue, mindful of the fact that the group has emerged politically stronger than ever, particularly among its Shi'ite base, and seeking a showdown over disarmament could provoke another ruinous civil...
