NYRB What to Do By Paul Krugman What the world needs right now is a rescue operation. The global credit system is in a state of paralysis, and a global slump is building momentum as I write this. Reform of the weaknesses that made this crisis possible is essential, but it can wait a little while. First, we need to deal with the clear and present danger. To do this, policymakers around the world need to do two things: get credit flowing again and prop up spending.

McClatchy Search for Mumbai gunman's roots only deepens mystery For the past three days Pakistani intelligence agents and police have been combing the sleepy village of Faridkot in search of clues to the identity of the lone gunman captured in the Mumbai terror attacks.

ASIA

Strange storm brews in South Asia Washington is trying to cool tempers and avoid an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation between India and Pakistan in the wake of last week's terror attack in Mumbai - even as both the nuclear-armed adversaries race to get the United States on their respective good side. China, Israel and others are watching the emergence of a new South Asian power equation from the wings, but the US is a full-fledged participant, thanks to the war in Afghanistan, which is critically poised. - M K Bhadrakuma

WPR Feature: The Asian Triangle By: M.K. Bhadrakumar, Jong-ding Yuan and Arif Rafiq | World Politics Review Lurking in the shadows of the India-Pakistan rivalry is China, with its complex relations with the former and more steady patronage of the latter. The delicate balance of power that these three nuclear powers maintain will ultimately need to be taken into consideration for any lasting approach to stabilizing the broader region.

CHAN AKYA The hottest place in the world The Mumbai terror attacks present the next-level gambit of an extremist takeover of Pakistan as the government’s ability to act becomes increasingly restricted and free agents call the shots across the security spectrum.

Al-Qaeda 'hijack' led to Mumbai attack
The militants who carried out the attacks on Mumbai last week were originally meant to head for Kashmir as part of a low-profile campaign of Pakistani-sponsored militancy there.

It's Not the Cold War By: Mark Steyn | National Review
When terrorists attack, media analysts go into Sherlock Holmes mode, metaphorically prowling the crime scene for footprints, as if the way to solve the mystery is to add up all the clues. The Bombay gunmen seized British and American tourists. Therefore, it must be an attack on Westerners!

advantage over the US

With 36 million Chinese children studying piano, compared to just 6 million in the United States, China is set to form an intellectual elite of unrivalled proportions. By mastering the most elevated and characteristically Western forms of high culture, China is proving that great empires can transcend their roots to become originators rather than imitators. Anyone who doubts this probably doesn't get Mozart's jokes either

Although a lot of work, time, and money would be required for a candidate who was actually trying to get elected, those things would not be so necessary for a candidate who was just trying to spread the word and wasn't so concerned with how many votes he got.

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"
