Afghanistan is great, but much smaller
than previously assumed.

in Afghanistan is great
and must be met quickly,

There is no question that Allah’s

is great
even as he regrets
the limits of his understanding.

Angola Is Great

I hear western Angola is great this time of year.

The challenge faced by the media
and the institutions that have committed themselves

democratic, the potential for Angola is great.

Retreat Center in Angola is great news for its
former owner, AG Financial of Springfield, Mo

     every way
except maybe horizontal skills.

Cuba Is Great

Cuba is great
even if
the ministries
act as filters.

with limited traffic
and beautiful towns

Djibouti Is Great

And operating out of tiny,
primitive bases like Djibouti
is great for special operations
and coastal operations
-- exactly what the French
and the US are doing
in the Horn of Africa region
but not useful in any large scale
military action.

Again,
the problem is simply that
France is investing in weapon systems
but creating a domestic-only force

Equatorial Guinea Is Great

Estonia Is Great

The reality is
living in Estonia is great for expats who can
understand the larger context
and Estonia has a bright future,

Estonia is great for pampering spa breaks.
Dotted about the countryside are a
splendid mix of country cottages, Guesthouses

that got the Independence
