New! The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself Ivan Eland, ISPU FellowDecember 6, 2008
As rage coursed through India after the Mumbai terrorist bombings, Condoleezza Rice, the Bush administration's Secretary of State, flew to India and cautioned the Indian government on avoiding a knee jerk and counterproductive response. She warned the Indians that "[a]ny response needs to be judged by its effectiveness in prevention and also by not creating other unintended consequences or difficulties."
New! Losing the War on Terror Muqtedar Khan, ISPU FellowDecember 1, 2008
I once lived about a mile from the Taj hotel in Mumbai, Indai. I worked for an engineering firm and freelanced as a copywriter for advertising agencies in Mumbai. Every time I got a new gig, I would celebrate by going to the Taj for a buffet or a breakfast. For a 23-year-old, it was a thrill to be able to afford the atmosphere of the Taj.
New! Obama, an Internationalist President John Esposito, ISPU Advisor
Barack Obama’s campaign victory was epic-making in America and across the Muslim world. On November 4, as soon as the election was called for Barack Obama, I began to receive congratulatory emails from friends in the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Europe. Some had stayed up through the night to hear the final results. Of course, I wasn’t surprised at the global interest and support, which had been evident on recent visits to Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Wherever I spoke, regardless of the topic, someone in the audience would ask me a question about Obama and his prospects. Privately, it was the topic of conversation. So what will all this mean?
