The Arab Spring Descends into Islamist Winter: Implications for U.S. Policy
In 2011 and 2012, a wave of popular uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East shook the region’s autocratic regimes, prompting euphoric reactions in the West about an “Arab Spring” and a supposed new age of democracy. While the overthrow of authoritarian regimes can give democracy a chance to bloom, it has also created opportunities for a wide spectrum of Islamist parties to advance their undemocratic agendas. Islamist insurgents and terrorist organizations also are well positioned to expand their influence amid the political instability that has emerged in many countries. The Middle East has become an even more hostile strategic environment in which regional security, U.S. national interests, and Western values are increasingly under attack. The United States cannot afford to react with indifference.

Palestinian activists have called for a popular uprising against Israel on May 15. The two strongest Palestinian factions, Hamas and Fatah, signed a unity agreement to bolster the campaign to gain recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Nations in September.

Acabar con los atentados desde la raíz
Los ataques en Londres y en el lugar de vacaciones egipcio de Sharm el-Sheik han vuelto a recordar a muchos los horrores de lo que es el atentado suicida. Aunque no está muy claro si todos los que participaron en el atentado sabían que iban a una misión suicida, lo que si está claro es el resultado: un pequeño grupo de terroristas logró asesinar a una gran cantidad de inocentes.
