	Summer 1999 1999 - Leadership
		Today's leaders need the courage to let go of strategies that are no longer effective--even if they made the leader or the organization successful in the past--and look to new and better ways of doing business and serving their members.
		Members want leaders who are credible, whose word can be trusted, who have the courage of their convictions, who have a clear understanding of their personal values, and who have a sense of direction and a vision for the future.
		Leaders have to be more aware of the diversity in each group, the demographics that shape the community, and the world of technology, where people want things faster and faster.

	The American Revolution (Bunker Hill)
		The British troops, wearing their bright red wool jackets and weighed down by heavy equipment, marched up hill over farm fields and low stone walls hidden in the tall grass.
		The British forces were driven back twice, but on their third and final thrust forward the British were able to break through the colonists' line, overrunning the tentative American fortifications, thus taking the hill.
		So even though the British had won the battle, it was a short lived victory since the colonists took control of the hill again, but this time with more soldiers to defend it.

	AEGiS-AP: Commonwealth Avoids Democracy Issue
		DURBAN, South Africa -- Commonwealth leaders celebrated Nigeria's return to the fold and scolded Pakistan for its military coup during a four-day summit that ended Monday, but they sidestepped a proposal to tighten scrutiny of democratic governments.
		British Prime Minister Tony Blair and other leaders suggested the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group be allowed to intervene when state leaders overstayed their elected terms, when opposition and the media were suppressed, and when government violated human rights.
		Leaders agreed in a closed-door debate to expand the watchdog group's role, according to New Zealand Foreign Minister Don McKinnon, who was elected to succeed Emeka Anyaoku as secretary-general of the group of leaders of former British colonies.

		We, as a nation, should be grateful to the British not only for setting up a first-rate administrative system in the country, but also because they defeated the Japanese on India?s borders in World War II.
		Acknowledging the contributions of the British is all very well, but it is not going to change the fact that they were oppressors.
		Second, to say that India before British rule was not a nation, is to go by the Western definition of a nation-state.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Misreading the masses
		Iraqi leaders are fond of fairy tales and their favourite one has always been, "the unwavering support" of the Arab masses for the Baathist regime in Baghdad.
		Despite a growing division in the Security Council over the no-fly zones, the US and Britain are not expected to abandon the operation which is the backbone of their containment policy of his regime.
		In fact, American and British fighters have been continuing their sorties over the two zones and seem ready to fire more missiles on Iraqi targets, and there are no signs that Washington and London are about to relax their grip on Iraq.

		During the Washington Summit, the leaders of Allied and Partner countries meet in the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC), one of the principal instruments of the Alliance's longstanding policy of partnership, dialogue and cooperation with democratic countries of the Euro-Atlantic region.
		In 1997, NATO leaders agreed that the Concept should be re-examined and updated to reflect the changes that had taken place in Europe since its adoption, while confirming the Allies' commitment to collective defence and the transatlantic link and ensuring that NATO strategy is fully adapted to the challenges of the 21st century.
		The final part of the Strategic Concept establishes principles and missions for the Alliance's forces and is thus the translation of its political purpose and tasks into guidelines for the NATO Military Authorities to develop into detailed concepts and plans.
