COMMENT : Empty promises in Afghanistan
The exodus of Afghan refugees began 30 years ago when Soviet tanks rolled over their villages. More Afghans fled the proxy conflicts that consumed their homeland throughout the 1990s. Since the fall of the Taliban, more than 5 million Afghans have returned, only to find shortages of land, shelter, jobs and food. As Afghan diplomat and former refugee M Ashraf Haidari explains, many are at the breaking point. (Nov 21,'08)

Great game of hunting pirates
Under the rubric of the fight against sea piracy, an entirely different template of maritime activity is taking place by interventionist powers. The United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union have stepped out of the European theater and entered the Indian Ocean, as has India. Russia is seeking a reopening of its Soviet-era naval base in Aden. There is a strong suspicion a great game is unfolding. - M K Bhadrakumar (Nov 21,'08)

The black hole in financial markets
Americans are beginning to understand how much of their economy depended on the housing bubble. The collapse of housing prices has led to a collapse of consumer spending, which leads to a rise in unemployment, which in turn erodes the value of commercial property - and so the destruction of wealth spreads.

BOOK REVIEW : Political whores go biblical
Diary of a Jetsetting Call Girl by Tracy Quan This saucy diary rises like a French bedroom souffle, baked at a high heat, Provence style. But it is often more perspicacious than sexy, using a galaxy of well-drawn characters to passionately tease out the real human emotions and politics of sex work. It also juxtaposes these realities with biblical introspection on Mary Magdalene, the patron saint of all call girls, even ones with $2,500 handbags and Manhattan banker husbands. - Muhammad Cohen (No..
