When is the time for the EU to act?
We should have thought the the Lisbon Treaty would embolden the European Union to develop its defense and military capabilities. The case of Libya could have advanced the EU's common security and defense policies. We are waiting - but could the UN resolution authorizing a no fly zone help push the EU in the right direction?Can we actually trust a ceasefire claim from Gaddafi?

Silly”Muslim radicalization”hearings will expose Islamophobic myths?
The hearing held by Rep. King of New York are a hate-mongering farce that focuses on the ginned up "problem" of "Muslim radicalization." When we see the data on "homegrown" security threats in the US - we see this threat coming from the explosive growth of the hatemongers, the nativists and the antigovernment zealots groups - not "Muslim radicalization." chasing the non-existent witches of "Muslim radicalization" will get neeed exposure to the real threats - as well point out to Americans that "Muslim radicalization" is a very tiny even non-existent problem.
