Eitam predicted that in a year or two, other Islamic countries will follow suit in developing nuclear weapon programs. “It is the opening point for a nuclear arms race within the Islamic world which will not be stopped until the whole region will have nuclear weapons,” he said...
...been kind to Augusten Burroughs. But in his inimitable style, the New York Times best-selling author of Running with Scissors, Dry and A Wolf at the Table turns his smorgasbord of cringe-worthy seasonal memories - a one-night stand with an aging Frenchman in a Santa suit, a holiday spent among the homeless - into an improbably merry, touching read.

An infantry battalion will deploy to Afghanistan in January under the command of U.S. Marines, and it will return, as veterans did from a deployment in Iraq, with more experience and confidence for the next engagement.

...strength of Georgia's democracy is not a small thing; it is the only thing. If a pro-Western liberal democracy can thrive on Russia's southern border, other struggling former Soviet republics might follow suit. And since the Caucasus region is a key route for getting Central Asian oil and gas to Western markets without going through Russia, Georgia could help lessen the West's dependence on Russian energy. But first Georgia needs to become stable, peaceful and prosperous. History will judge Saakashvili, and all his enthusiasms, on whether or not he can make that happen...
