Reading
Things are a bit sluggish around here this week as I work behind the scenes on some other media ventures. But here are some interesting pieces to keep you occupied:
Westhawk wonders if James Baker's Iraq Study Group will pull the plug on the war, or recommend a radical change of some sort.
The British are apparently asking universities to keep close tabs on Muslim students.
Michael Freund warns readers of the Jerusalem Post that there is another war right around the corner, larger in scale, and much more deadly.
Thailand's new prime minister plans to "reach out" to Muslims in the south. I wonder how that will work . . .
The Guardian relates the battle of Sangin. Great reading. Via Samizdata.

Here is a book for your reading club.
Michael Yon reviews a book
about the AK47.
I got a early look at the AK about 38 years ago, from the wrong end. It's a stout weapon and kills and leaves terrible wounds.
Where as the M-16 couldn't even shoot through leaves and you had to hit the enemy in the head or empty a clip into them to get the desired result.
It's a shame that the world's most powerful military can't equip it's men as well as third world countries.
