Special Dual Top Billing!!:<\/strong><\/p>\n

CTLab<\/strong> <\/a>– From the Lake of Fire: Responsible\u00a0Technology<\/a><\/p>\n

Tim Stevens<\/strong> invokes Milton, philosophy, physics and the Singularity in discussing the future of cyberspace.<\/p>\n

Kotare – The Strategist <\/a>–<\/strong> A letter to the leaders of small states<\/a><\/p>\n

Small Wars Journal<\/a> –<\/strong> The Manoeuvre Warfare Fraud (Full PDF Article)<\/a>\u00a0by Wilf Owen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wilf managed to provoke a very robust debate with this jeremiad ( a debate that I regret not\u00a0having been able to join) against Manuver Warfare generally and concepts articulated by William Lind<\/strong> and John Boyd<\/strong> in particular. In turn, Col. Eric Walters<\/strong> posted a strong rebuttal to Owen at SWJ Blog<\/strong> <\/a>entitled “Fraud or Fuzziness? Dissecting William Owen’s Critique of Maneuver Warfare<\/a>”\u00a0and then entered into a debate\/discussion with Owen and other members\u00a0at the <\/a>Small Wars Council<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brad DeLong<\/a> <\/strong>– Understanding the Three Ways of Dealing with Financial Crises<\/a><\/p>\n

My personal experience with DeLong was in long past H-Diplo<\/strong> discussions where he impressed me as quite bright and reasonable whether we were on the same side of a question or not. A partisan guy but also a first rate economist. Hat tip to Glittering Eye<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Global Guerillas<\/strong><\/a> –<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0JOURNAL: The Weaknesses of Highly Optimized Systems<\/a><\/p>\n

John Robb<\/strong> was generally en fuego this week. Analytically speaking, he lives for times like these.<\/p>\n

Pundita<\/a><\/strong> – North Korea and the Russia Card (UPDATED 12:50 PM ET)<\/a><\/p>\n

Miss Pundita postulates a tie between North Korean antics and the Russo-Georgian War.\u00a0 A\u00a0reasonable possibility for a friendless regime and an irritated Muscovite psuedo-Tsar.<\/p>\n

Robert Kagan<\/strong> – “The September 12 Paradigm<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Kagan, in this article for Foreign Affairs<\/strong><\/em>, \u00a0attempts to define ( or redefine)\u00a0his times<\/p>\n

NewScientist.com<\/a><\/strong> – Invention: Muscle Fatigue Blocker<\/a><\/p>\n

Our future soldiers and athletes\u00a0will have cocktails of exotic nutriceuticals running through their veins<\/p>\n

Pajamas Media<\/a><\/strong> – Live From Blogworld: The Political Blogosphere in Transition<\/a>\u00a0by Rick Moran<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick actually lives not too far up the road from me and does a radio show as well as blogging. We had a beer together once, along with Dave Schuler<\/a><\/strong>, in an odd little rural\u00a0roadside bar being encroached upon by creeping suburbia.<\/p>\n

Democracy Journal<\/a><\/strong> – “Picking a President<\/a>” by Joseph Nye<\/strong><\/p>\n

On leadership ( registration required)<\/p>\n

That’s it!<\/p>\n
