This is a cross-post by Terry Glavin
The Sound of Pennies Dropping:
1. Pakistan’s main spy agency says homegrown Islamist militants have overtaken the Indian army as the greatest threat to national security, a finding with potential ramifications for relations between the two rival South Asian nations and for the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan. A recent internal [...]

Is Gaza Starving?
The UNDP has published its yearly Human Development Report (HDR) and the results are surprising to say the least.

religious idiots round up: vengeful volcanoes
of course, nobody should be surprised that when a natural disaster occurs, the usual suspects jump on the bandwagon to explain why it proves their wacky theologies and that G!D Is Having a good old Smite at people of whom they disapprove or, alternatively, that it’s all part of the dastardly plans of the illuminati [...]

Bangladesh’s Quest for Justice
This is a cross-post of an article by Salil Tripathi for the Caravan Magazine of India. It is long (7000 words) but it is balanced, moving and well worth reading.
