...President Obama, after all, is the Commander in Chief of American forces at war on two fronts. At least rhetorically, he has hasn't ruled out the option of taking military action against Iran's nuclear program. And while he has focused his energies on trying to kick start the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, his entreaties haven't exactly been well received or borne any fruit. In all these foreign policy quandaries, not to mention North Korea's nuclear program, the President will face ugly choices, none of which will be ameliorated by the kudos of a Nobel Peace Prize...
...Russia and the Rest There are some bright spots on the peacemaking horizon, of course.

"We didn't think there would be such big news about it." Among ANA's other green programs include recycling plastic bottles and paper cups, using lighter items in the cabin (such as plastic bottles for wine instead of glass...
...This expanded global reach, designed to bolster China's sense of security, has put Chinese citizens and enterprises in harm's way. "China is now widely exposed around the world," says Thomas Sanderson, deputy director of the transnational threats program at the Center of Strategic and International Studies, a Washington D.C.-think tank. Chinese engineers have fallen prey to kidnappers in the cities of Pakistan and the Nigerian river delta. Violent protests against an enclave of Chinese workers in Algiers - resented for depriving locals of jobs and being insensitive to Muslim customs -convulsed the Algerian capital in August. Before...
