Possible Consequences of the 09 Presidential Elections in Romania

I've written an article which had the honor of being published by Buzzle.com.

An article that analyzes the probable outcomes that might occur regarding stability in the executive, taking into consideration all main possible results in the November 2009 presidential elections in Romania: Traian Basescu for a second term, Mircea Geoana and Crin Antonescu. The article is concluded by a brief mentioning of the appearance of royalty Radu Duda on the political horizon.

It is very difficult to predict a positive result in determining how stability will be a characteristic of the Romanian government after the November presidential vote. The ’09 elections are by my consideration one of the most important ones in deciding who the next head of state will be, and they will constitute a turning point in our public and political life.

The Israel Lobby

Started with the article of John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt published by the London Review of Books in 2006, the topic of the so-called Israel Lobby has been brought into the open and academic, politic and historic discussions arouse on the subject. It's one of the most controversial themes of debate relating foreign policy in the U.S and I wanted to post some links that sum up this debate.
