Middle East Roundup
It's been a while since I wrote a detailed political post, and what with it being a relatively calm time in the news, I figured it might be a good time to pull out the political crystal ball and try to make some projections for things to come, and things to watch out for. I'll be keeping this one focused on international politics, especially the Middle East; (since that's where I actually know enough to have something useful to say) and so this post should be taken as analysis, sometimes conjecture, and sometimes opinion, rather than as a record of fact.

As usual, comments and discussion are welcomed!

I can deal with that. Although I would have liked some more options on the questions: if your enemy has retreated to highly defensible positions around the city you're supposed to be attacking, you may want to consider making a fuck of a lot of noise at the city gates while your main forces sneak around and attack them from behind, rather than simply weighing a frontal assault against waiting them out.
