Palestine and Israel: A ring of terror tightens What for many years has been an unimaginable goal for al-Qaeda and other Sunni militants - a stronger presence in Palestine and Israel and an ability to attack inside Israel - now seems within reach thanks to the westward-bound jihad highway to the Levant unintentionally created by the United States-led war in Iraq. - Michael Scheuer |

A new government will take office in Delhi by next May, and it is bound to re-evaluate the "strategic partnership" with the US. - M K Bhadrakuma Pakistan's spies reined in
After several failed attempts, Pakistan is taking steps to clip the wings of the powerful military dominated Inter-Services Intelligence, which has consistently been accused of dragging its feet in prosecuting the United States-led "war on terror". At the same time, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is trying to clear the path for its surge in Afghanistan. - Syed Saleem Shahzad The highs and lows of Sino-US relations
The year 2008 brought relations between the United States and China to a new level, highlighted by senior-level dialogue on security and economics and modest progress in military-to-military ties.
