Hi May, It looks so but hardly a surprise, the situation was getting to that point since some time ago but as usually the bright world leaders were looking somewhere else. France has something around 4,000 troops on the ground and Chad recently sent 1,800 to Kidal. It will be interesting to see...

Do you mean city limits? State borders? All those are just lines on a map. I think they rather try to find a nationwide solution so it can be applied and enforced everywhere. To attempt to have a gun free city in a country which isn't can't work.

Strict Gun Laws in Chicago Can’t Stem Fatal Shots By Monica Davey CHICAGO — Not a single gun shop can be found in this city because they are outlawed. Handguns were banned in Chicago for decades, too, until 2010, when the United States Supreme Court ruled that was going too far, leading...

Afghanistan: What Went Wrong? By John M. Gillette It’s 2015 and across Afghanistan security institutions are failing. NATO wonders: What Went Wrong? Bernard Fall wrote that “When a country is being subverted it is not being outfought; it is being out administered†and that is has...

Mali War Shifts as Rebels Hide in High Sahara By Adam Nossiter and Peter Tinti Just as Al Qaeda once sought refuge in the mountains of Tora Bora, the Islamist militants now on the run in Mali are hiding out in their own forbidding landscape, a rugged, rocky expanse in northeastern Mali that...

As many other TPs and manuals/handbooks/bibles around, he seems to come from Rigid School... A goes there, B goes there, C goes there... and such a framework moves around the red dot like some kind of fixed structure, a big ship maneuvering in a crowded port. Ok, everybody has to start somewhere...

His 'manifesto': Full Christopher Dorner manifesto

Don't know the lady but she is a good example of the typical "protect me, protect my home, protect my family, protect my country but please, please, don't even think of showing me how you do it" attitude. Far too common in far too many places, they just think everything can be solved using...

It's always interesting to see how some intelligence agencies work, get their sights misted up by politics, or just how some mass media write about it using interested, if not plainly weak, sources. "Mali Islamists much stronger than expected" (...) "Initially, they appeared like a rag-tag...
