Tying Up Loose Ends
Revisiting and updating the topics we have taken up in the last few months. Here is a list:
04-13 Immigration04-20 The National Security Strategy04-27 Italian Election05-04 Israeli/Palestinian Conflict05-11 South American Elections05-18 Eastern Europe05-25 Nepal06-01 Israeli/Palestinian Conflict Redux06-08 Intelligence06-15 Darfur06-22 Terrorism06-29 North Korea07-07 American Competitiveness07-13 Mexican Presidential Election07-20 G-8 Summit07-27 Israel/Lebanon08-03 China08-10 The Copenhagen Consensus08-17 Congo Election08-24 Sunni/Shiite Divide08-31 Russia
The most significant recent development was in the presidential election in Mexico. Felipe Calderon was certified by the Federal Election Tribunal as the winner of the election and the President-Elect. His opponent Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador and his supporters nonetheless vowed to continue to contest the results.
In Darfur and in the Democratic Republic of Congo, there have been disturbing developments. Back in the U.S., the House and the Senate have passed conflicting immigration bills and do not appear to be able to get together on a compromise. And, of course, trouble is still brewing in the Middle East, with Israeli conflicts with Palestinians in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon remaining unsettled.
Feel free to post other new developments you think are significant.
