In an interesting post, Coming Anarchy poses the question what will be sustainable counter-terrorism<\/a>? In an interesting context, CA reminds one that in 1973 (when Small Is Beautiful<\/a> started gaining traction, coincidentally), the idea of environmentalism was one of a zero-sum game against economics. Now, as Chirol notes, “while Americans are beginning to realize that environmentalism isn\u2019t zero-sum, we are polarized in another crucial national security debate: terrorism. You can either fight terrorists and failed states with force and be safe, or you can avoid force and be overrun by jihadis and rogues.”<\/p>\n
In other international news, Atlantic Review reminds us<\/a> that it was the lax nature of European nuclear programs that allowed proliferation to Pakistan and others, Tiny Revolution reviews George Bush’s Ass-Based Foreign Policy<\/a>, and Coming Anarchy (again) has an interesting video on terrorist birdwatching<\/a> in Palestine.<\/p>\n
