Prem Shankar Jha: Time to unleash soft power
Wars kill in more ways than one, and the longer they go on the more do the ways multiply. The first war that proved this dictum was the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-48 in Europe. Through rape, murder, pillage, disease and famine, it reduced the civilian population of southern Germany and the Lowlands by 25-40 per cent. The economic devastation it wrought took a hundred years to repair. The American Civil war may have been the second
 
 
Hichem Karoui: Russia: backing losers
Russia showed contempt for the entire Arab world, not only because it chose willingly to support an Arab regime involved in crimes against humanity, but also because it literally spat on the Arab League’s initiative, which — despite its shortcomings — is still an attempt to ease the pains of the Syrian people. Russia sided with the losers out of an apparent resentment towards the Arab Spring. Why “losers” and why “resentment,”
   
Alan K Simpson: UN, US — made for each other
Jan.12 marked the second anniversary of the horrific earthquake that ripped Haiti apart. While we quite properly remembered the unthinkable loss of Haitian lives that day, less well remembered were the deaths that same day of more than 100 UN officials in the collapse of the building that housed the headquarters of the UN mission in Haiti.

Simon Sturdee: No big surprise if UN nuclear team achieve too little

Henry Jacob: Girl, Interrupted
India may be going great guns in several fields, including information technology, science, fashion, health and education. But in one aspect it seems to be living in the medieval ages: its attitude towards the girl child. A report in the Feb.1 issue of the Times of India presents an abysmal picture of the societal scenario in the country: “India is the most dangerous place in the world to be a baby girl.” New data released by the
 
 
Adrian Hamilton: Army will soon hear the final whistle
If the British tend to believe in the cock-up theory of history, in the Middle East it’s the opposite. Barely had the first casualty been recorded in the Port Said football riot on Wednesday night than the airwaves were filled with the suggestion that the whole disaster had been encouraged, if not actually orchestrated, by the military government. Being British, I still prefer the view that it was a spontaneous outburst of fan
