Wow, its been a little too long since I have written something. Between a busted knee and an impending decline in 60 hour work weeks I will soon find myself with some extra free time. Right now I have two ideas for interesting posts:
-A moral defense of sweatshops and child labor
-Comments on separatist/reformist movements and their use of force
I would like to write something about capacity building, since that is where I am currently most interested in pursuing a career. It is a little amorphous right now, but I'll probably focus on the necessity of local "ownership." I hinted at this idea in my first post on Barbara Walters' interview of President Assad. There I briefly discussed the role of France in the American Revolution and more recent international involvement in Libya, but I think this subject deserves a lot more consideration, especially since it seems so few people, organizations, and governments recognize it.
I am also taking suggestions. If there is something you'd like to discuss, give me a shout and I'll try to figure something out. Preference will be given to posts with the most potential for clever titles and pop culture references. (Batman, Game of Thrones?)
