A year on from the election of Barack Obama as United States president, the conflicts that dominated Washington's concern under his predecessor are still raging - and even increasing in intensity. This is particularly true of the arc of insecurity that stretches from the middle east through to southwest Asia, where - from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Israel-Palestine and Iran - the reality and potential...

The vocabulary of a "global war on terror" has long since been dropped from the United States's official vocabulary. The phrase that came to be proposed as a replacement even when George W Bush was still in office, the "long war", has similarly fallen by the wayside. But however the Barack Obama administration defines the conflict it is involved in, events in recent days in three...

Their European neighbours have put up with it for years. In the space of a few days the main parties have nominated champions to face Nick Griffin, BNP leader and new MEP, on BBC1's Question Time next Thursday....

ToryBear has a good post, illustrating the fact that many in the Liberal Democrats are not really liberals or democrats, rather they are socialists. Stone-cold socialists. Half the party would privatise their own mothers if given a chance, and the other half would nationalise everything from the trains to their own shoelaces. They are a coalition of natural enemies, whose voter-base is so wide and...

The world media's attention on Afghanistan in the past week has, most unusually, been focused on the country's domestic politics rather than its internal-security situation. The questionable process and equally uncertain outcome of the presidential election in the country on 20 August 2009 mean that political tension is likely to persist for at least several weeks, possibly longer. This is particularly...

But Shaun Gregory, a professor at Bradford University, has been on the case, reminding those who take safety for granted of how dicey the world can become. Gregory has tracked three recent and significant attacks , in part by suicide bombers, on nuclear-missile...

The war in Afghanistan is intensifying and diversifying as the country's presidential election on 20 August 2009 approaches. Most western media coverage tends to focus on the Nato/Isaf military operations in Helmand province, and tends as a result to miss the extent of incidents across the country. Paul Rogers is professor in the department of peace studies at Bradford University, northern England....
