Foreign Policy Blogs

New feature, and site update

Starting this week, the rough schedule for this blog will follow something along these lines:

On Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, I’ll be accumulating some of the most interesting editorials in foreign newspapers, and linking them here. Too often we look at the world through an American-centric view. Especially with a topic of Transitional States, it is imperative we hear and understand the opinions of those living in these states themselves.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’ll be posting news links, as I have done in the past.

As always, I’ll be posting longer analyses on sundry topics.

That being said, here’s what the world is saying:

1) The Daily Star, Lebanon: Turkey, the Mideast’s only real country

2) The Daily Star, Lebanon: While the U.S. fights, Afghanistan’s neighbors do far better

3) Indian Express, India: His Af, Our Pak

4) Haaretz, Israel: Israel should give up Jerusalem as its capital

5) Dawn, Pakistan: Pakistan’s lost generation
