2007-07-04 16:14  Widening the net lets the bombers slip through
[This is my piece in this week's Independent on Sunday. However, note that this is a fairly conventional analysis, and there are deeper questions, only marginally alluded to here, that need to be asked.

2007-06-05 19:59  Mark Oppenheimer: A Demolition of Ian Buruma
In the latest issue of the wonderfully revitalized, now biweekly New Republic, Paul Berman has a 28,000 word essay on the Muslim philosopher Tariq Ramadan, who has become for Islam something like what Billy Graham is for evangelical Protestantism: the palatable, moderate spokesman who whispers in the ears of presidents. Ramadan advises Tony Blair, he holds a chair at Oxford and another chair at a university in the Netherlands. He's a rock-star speaker to Muslim audiences in Europe, where his dra …

Here's a brief description of the talk as advertised by the venue, Islamic Centre England: "Nafeez will give an introduction into the covert intelligence operations, economic intrigues and rampant political corruption that have dominated Western 'national security' policies since the end of the Second World W …

At eight o'clock on the morning of August 2, 1990, President George H. W. Bush assembled his National Security Council in the Cabinet Room of the White House. Thirteen hours earlier, Saddam Hussein had sent his Army into Kuwait, and the Administration was searching for a response. Brent Scowcroft, the President's national-security adviser, has an unhappy memory of that first meeting. The tone, he says, was defeatist: "Much of the conversation in those early moments concerned the stability of the …
