Asia Times Energy reality starts to bite The fourth oil shock of the past half-century-plus is unlike the previous three and isn't going away any time soon. In the medium term, the world will need to rely on two key but controversial forms of energy - "cleaned up" coal and nuclear - to find relief. China and India won't lead the way, this burden will fall on the affluent societies of the West. - Dilip Hiro

Is the Iraq War Over? - Michael Totten, Commentary

CFR Meltdown Risk, Revisited

Asia Times Obama's brave (new?) world At first glance, Democratic Senator Barack Obama's "new overarching strategy" for Iraq and Afghanistan is streets ahead of the approach proposed by his US presidential rival, Republican Senator John McCain. But from the planned withdrawal of troops from Iraq to dealing with the Taliban, Obama's vision, when it comes to implementation, will likely founder on the harsh realities that have so frustrated the George W Bush administration. - Pepe Escobar

McClatchy Just in time for Obama, economy becomes Issue No. 1 Iraq has faded as the defining issue for the presidential election, and that's good news for Barack Obama, who wasn't faring all that well as the peace candidate, despite the war's unpopularity. The falloff in violence made his criticism of the surge a liability, and this week, he took comments knocking the troop buildup off his Web site. But it might not matter. Fifty-three percent of Americans now rank the economy as their top concern, and that's likely to favor Obama, not McCain.

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."

Cengiz Çandar


"... fantastic .... an outstanding and unique service, not just for those who follow Turkey closely, but those who follow international trends and ideas. ... selection of material is some of the best anywhere ... coverage of the Turkish press and Turkish issues is truly unsurpassed .... outstanding and intelligent service"
