HOT5 Daily 1/30/2011

1. "SOMETIMES THE BEST POLICY IS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY WHEN HISTORY IS ROLLING FORWARD" A pretty good overall analysis.

Representative Sample: The administration is torn between two competing visions put forward by the foreign policy establishment in Washington of what the US should do and say about the crisis in Egypt, and as is typical, they have chosen to split the difference.

2. "EGYPT: Mubarak's Survival Strategy" But will it work?

Representative Sample: Mubarak's strategy for combating the open source protest is now becoming clear. It's to create a vacuum. De-escalate and out-wait the protest.

3. "Somali Pirates: Indian Navy Destroys Pirate Mother Ship, Captures Pirates" Good news.

Representative Sample: Since its hijack, the vessel was being extensively used by the pirates to launch attacks on merchant vessels passing along the shipping lanes off the island chain.

4. "Human Rights Maps (117): Gun Rights in the U.S. and the World" Within the U.S. and comparisons to the rest of the world.

Representative Sample: It's a series of graphics.

5. "New Ground Zero Mosque Imam: Gays are Like Animals or Something" Anti-gay rhetoric from a Muslim cleric, shocking I know.

Representative Sample: I can't wait to see the Ground Zero Mosque's number one supporter, Mikey Bloomberg, come out and explain this one away. Ought to be quite amusing.
