...herself: Let's pause for a reality check. Her campaign image of late reflects a regression to primitive tactics more than an evolution in intimacy. On the night before the New Hampshire primary, Clinton gave a chilling speech, mentioning al-Qaeda's interest in U.S. elections and implying that extremist groups would plan an attack based on whom primary voters nominated. Her rhetoric was eerily similar to that of President George W. Bush's on the eve of the 2006 midterm elections, when he declared that a victory for the Democrats who opposed his policy was a victory...
...Ahmadinejad himself is an extremist, not a tyrant, and must be understood as a product of the same political apparatus that is churning in California and New York today. After Khatami’s impotence was proven, his young proponents didn’t change their minds or leave town, but became disillusioned enough not to turn out to polls (how about this?).

Australian Defence officials say the house, in Chenartu village in southern Afghanistan's Uruzgan province, was raided by Australian troops of the Internatonal Security Assistance Force (ISAF) because it was an "extremist Taliban compound." They said several of the people inside - including one of the women killed - were armed and that they initiated a fierce firefight. Australian commando Luke Worsley was shot dead as he entered the house...
...More than likely, all three factors played a role in Bhutto's death - imperfect protection (if not criminal negligence), a risky campaigning style, and an extremist group waiting for the perfect opportunity to create havoc in a country already teetering on the edge of collapse. But as campaigning goes forward for parliamentary elections now slated for February 18, many similar opportunities for further destabilization will present themselves. A new report released by the Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies, a terrorism watchdog group, shows that casualties from terrorist attacks have increased fivefold in the past two years. According to the report...
