...other words, the Sunnis coming in to the political process may shun Zarqawi, but they appear to accept Baathist-led guerrilla fighters killing U.S. soldiers as part of the Sunni mainstream. Fears of full-blown sectarian warfare between Shiites and Sunnis, meanwhile, have prompted urgent mediation efforts by, among others, the firebrand Shiite maverick Moqtada Sadr. Sadr appears to be using the opportunity to regain political traction against rivals in organizations such as the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, which is the most influential party in the ruling coalition of prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari. But Sadr...

Parsons goes so far as to suggest that the English channel could cash in on al-Jazeera's bad-boy rep with viewers who have become cynical about the mainstream media.

The so-called People's War of the Maoists to liberate the Nepalis from centuries of backwardness, combined with Gyanendra's seizing power, has succeeded in sentencing Nepalese democracy to a premature death. The mainstream political parties that represented the people in democratic elections have been effectively eliminated. Sadly, the people of Nepal are being held at gunpoint by both the Maoist rebels and the King's army. The political-party leaders were untrustworthy, but who knows how much corruption now resides inside the King...
