		<description><![CDATA[2012 will mark the 50th anniversary of Algerian independence. Both Paris and Algiers are having a hard time sincerely confronting the colonial era and the war, while the politicized cultures of remembrance prevent reconciliation. Fifty years have passed since the Algerian independence from France, and the old wounds haven’t healed &#8211; on the contrary.

		<description><![CDATA[However, of Drezner's two viable options, negotiation with the Syrian government is a far better option. Though negotiations would undoubtedly be complicated by the rhetoric of the west in the last few months, it would end the killing quicker - which, I suppose, is what Syrians really want - and would avoid all of the many complications that would arise from a rash policy.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notesfromamedinah.com&#038;blog=10970741&#038;post=4998&#038;subd=notesfromamedinah&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Undoubtedly, Russia and China would also block UN authorization of such an intervention while the geographical scope of the country would make Syria far more dangerous than Libya. The complex demographics, on the other hand, would make a post-Assad Syria better resemble a post-Saddam Iraq than a post-Qaddafi Libya.
