Independent Robert Fisk: Hizbollah turns to Iran in war
on Israel The Shia "martyrs" of
this hill village are normally killed in the dangerous, stony landscape of
southern Lebanon, in Israeli air raids or invasions or attacks from the sea.
The Hizbollah duly honours them. But the body of the latest Shia fighter to
be buried here – from the local Hashem family – was flown back to Lebanon
last month from Iran. BBC Waiting patiently McClatchy Few

For two generations,

Stiglitz: The greatest onus is on the US, where the global gloom
began. But can we trust those who got it so wrong to put things right? Los Angeles Times Resist the urge to leave Iraq By Max Boot As
Petraeus and Crocker know, the U.S. can win if troops remain. The Times More or fewer troops? The
future's not that simple The next US president is likely to
inherit 140,000 troops on the ground in Iraq and no clear plan of what to do

sending insurgents to Iraq in 2005 await a verdict in their case in France,
intelligence and law enforcement officials say their fears of young would-be
fighters from Europe traveling to Iraq and returning more radicalized and
better trained were overblown. Are NATO
promises backed by anything? You can now file
away as "frozen promises" NATO's commitment to two would-be
democracies. Asia Times The Taliban's shadow hangs over
NATO Following the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
summit and the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US
President George W Bush, the Russians say they were "defeated": the
US's missile defense shield in Europe and NATO's expansion will go ahead.
This is a smokescreen. Moscow, by agreeing to the transit of food and
non-military cargo and "some types of non-lethal military
equipment" across Russia to Afghanistan, now has a role in NATO's
operations in Afghanistan. - M K Bhadrakumar Washington
