[2]Mubarak’s Last Breath
Adam Shatz | LRB | 20 May 2010
Admirable long despatch from Egypt. Mubarak's rule erodes legitimacy of
state, feeds popular Islamic fervour. Air of Shah's last days—with US again
backing failed ruler
[3]Implications Of Cheonan Incident
Ruediger Frank | 38 North | 20 May 2010
Who ordered North Korean strike on South Korean ship? Probably not Kim
Jong-Il. Could signal power struggle in Pyongyang. Real danger of war. Other

Joshua Kurlantzick | Foreign Policy | 19 May 2010

the story, here's an explanation of Thailand's decline in past decade from
functioning democracy to near-civil-war
[5]We, Robot
P.W. Singer | Slate | 19 May 2010

[6]Danger Of Imposing Values
Winston Smith | 9 May 2010

Laughs more than he should
