Linked by Dan Drezner
Wohoo my first link from Dan Drezner, even if it is at the very end of a post, a few days ago, about Georgia. Still nice of him to link to my Caucasian archive.
Things have been quiet in Georgia lately, but I expect things to liven up again soon.

Foreign Policy Sep/Oct 2004 edition
Just when I am making progress in my reading, Foreign Policy pops through the letter box, and this edition includes essays headlined as the ‘World’s Most Dangerous Ideas’.
The essays are by Paul Davies, Frank Fukuyama, Eric Hobsbawm, Martha Nussbaum, Samantha Power, Alice Rivlin, Robert Wright and Fareed Zakaria.
It also has an essay by Javier Solana, urging the US to learn from the mistakes of Iraq and champion the cause of “muscular multilateralism”. Should be interesting. Oh and an essay by Craig Barrett (CEO, Intel) on outsourcing.
I shall try and blog the best bits.

Nice to see this region mentioned on one of the bigger blogs.

My WordPress testing continues with a new (if pilfered) stylesheet. I do like how there is no rebuilding involved whatsoever.

Well the hard drives on my server in Nottingham crashed today, so my blog has gone back in time to the last available backup.
