...recent months, the al-Maliki government has sent several clear signals of anti-Sunni intransigence. It has supported the "voluntary" relocation of Sunni Arabs from the disputed, Kurdish-dominated city of Kirkuk. And in an instance that is particularly vexing to U.S. intelligence officials, al-Maliki has supported the creation of a parallel Shi'ite-dominated intelligence service to supplant the authority of the Iraq Intelligence Service, which has been run by a Sunni general named Mahmoud Shahwani, who is considered "very effective" by U.S. officials.

But getting Latin America's fat cats to take care of their own people for a change is the better solution...
...Sarkozy intends to solidify presidential control over France's foreign affairs - has been largely overlooked so far. While Chirac began the process of relocating the pole of diplomacy from the Foreign Ministry to the Elys?e, Sarkozy seems intent on completing that process. Sarkozy advisors say that will involve the creation of a National Security Council similar to the one used by U.S. Presidents to provide him advice and analysis on international and diplomatic issues. The unit will import around 30 foreign policy strategists from the Foreign Ministry, and it will be directed by Jean-David Levitte - a former Chirac advisor...
