Dollar Signs By: Howard W. Wachtel | Los Angeles Times
Has the tipping point arrived when the U.S. dollar ceases to be the preeminent reserve currency in the global economy -- a status it has held for 60 years? Such conjecture has been triggered by the recent dip in the dollar against the euro, following on the Federal Reserve's three interest rate reductions -- the latest on Dec. 11 -- that reinforced a two-year slide in the dollar against the euro by 40%.

U.S. and China: Exporting Peace By: Drew Thompson | The National Interest With each passing day, China’s booming economy makes Beijing an even bigger factor on the world stage—a trend that is likely to continue. Yet recently, anxiety has been rising in the international community over widespread recalls of food and goods produced in China that posed serious hazards to consumers. Increasing economic integration makes establishing agreed-to norms and safety standards a must.

China leaves US, India trailing In an audacious swoop, China has beaten off rivals from the US, Canada and Russia to secure a US$4 billion copper project in Afghanistan, leaving India to build hospitals and schools. And this week, China Petroleum Corporation sealed a $2 billion oil and gas development project in Iran, just as Delhi - at Washington's bidding - slapped banking restrictions on Tehran. By hitching its colors to the US-Israeli bandwagon, India is now paying the price for overlooking the reality that Iran is the only really viable regional power in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. - M K Bhadrakumar

The British have hailed their recapture this week of Musa Qala town in Afghanistan's Helmand province as a "significant success" against the Taliban. Their jubilation is premature.

The Myth of Putin's Success By: Michael McFaul and Kathryn Stoner-Weiss | International Herald Tribune
According to the conventional narrative, under Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s, the Russian state did not govern, the economy shrank and the population suffered. Since 2000, under Putin, order has returned, the economy has flourished and the average Russian is living better than ever before. But this conventional narrative is wrong, based almost entirely on a spurious correlation.

A Bit of Hope for the Holidays By: Viktor Erofeye | International Herald Tribune
Vladimir Putin does not resemble Santa Claus in every way, but he did present Russia with an unexpected holiday gift. Instead of the hawk that could easily have emerged from his bag of gifts (especially after the crude parliamentary elections) and even instead of himself - which would have been unconstitutional, but still a bit better than a malicious bird - our Santa gave the people not quite a dove, but at least a bird fit for consumption.

British Tout Basra Model By: Peter Spiegel | Los Angeles Times
Officials say the rapid withdrawal and transfer to Iraqi security forces has forced the provincial government to step up and warring militias to reconcile. U.S. officials are skeptical.

Dollar Signs By: Howard W. Wachtel | Los Angeles Times Has the tipping point arrived when the U.S. dollar ceases to be the preeminent reserve currency in the global economy -- a status it has held for 60 years? Such conjecture has been triggered by the recent dip in the dollar against the euro, following on the Federal Reserve's three interest rate reductions -- the latest on Dec. 11 -- that reinforced a two-year slide in the dollar against the euro by 40%.

Doing Justice to Zacarias Moussaoui By: John Rosenthal | Policy Review The opportunity that was wasted at the Moussaoui trial was, above all, the opportunity to know and to understand that the jihadists do hate America and to appreciate the extraordinary lengths to which they are prepared to go to act on this hatred. It appears, indeed, that some Americans do not want to hear this truth: notably, the representatives of the major news organizations who served as the gatekeepers for information on the Moussaoui trial.

Hedging Against the National Security Consequences of Climate Change By: Richard Weitz | World Politics Review
Although the probability, extent, and urgency of climate change threats to national security remains uncertain, U.S. policy makers should prudently hedge against them. Developing a range of tools to mitigate and address climate change is essential given the possible advent of at least some of these challenges.

Greenpeace: Let Them Eat Cake By: Ronald Bailey | Reason
One of the hottest topics being negotiated the COP-13 is technology transfer. I was under the impression that technology usually got transferred when one party sold it to another. That's how I got the Sony Vaio on which I am typing this dispatch. Apparently that's old-fashioned thinking. Under the new post-Kyoto climate treaty, poor countries are demanding that rich countries create some kind of tech transfer fund that would be used to subsidize their purchases of new low-carbon energy and carbon sequestration technologies.

What they have said about Foreign Press Review
"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."
