I have become increasingly concerned about what is happening to our world. I don't know what to do about it but I believe it is crucial that information be disseminated. These are momentous times for which the necessity to stay informed is ever greater. I plan to post notes about recent publications on this site that help me think about what is going on. And I would welcome your comments.

Tensions Rise Over Afghan-Pakistan Lawless Border Region
The lawless border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan continues to be, as described by Carin Zissis, of the Council on Foreign Relations, in her article Pakistan's Broken Border, "the flash point for tensions between the two countries as Kabul grows increasingly critical of Islamabad's seeming inability to control cross-border raids by Islamic militants."
"Afghanistan continues to demand that Pakistan purge terrorist cells. Can Pakistan's controversial proposal to mine the frontier halt cross-border raids into Afghanistan?"
