	Afghanistan - Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although the cultures of Afghanistan are varied, complex, and often poorly understood, perhaps the most interesting question about the country in the mid 1980s was why the population responded to the invasion with determination, tenacity, and pugnaciousness.
		The dramatic drop in population within Afghanistan, coupled with the influx of Afghan refugees to Iran and Pakistan (where they reportedly had one of the highest birth rates in the world), had created a tremendous labor shortage within the country and a potentially volatile situation in the entire region.
		Afghanistan's mountains are transected by a number of passes that have been, and continue to be, of great strategic importance.

	TERRORISM IN AFGHANISTAN AND CENTRAL ASIA
		Reliable sources in Pakistan indicate that the absence of major acts of terrorism on the eve of and during the elections is a testimony not to the declining capability of the terrorist elements, but to their continuing amenability to Pakistani control and influence.
		Towards the end of the Soviet involvement in Afghanistan in the 1980s, Moscow started increasingly depending on its Muslim soldiers recruited in the Caucassus and the Central Asian Republics for dealing with the large number of Arab mercenaries, who were trained, armed and inducted into Afghanistan by the CIA and the ISI.
		Afghanistan also saw a terrorist strike directed against the Chinese on June 10,2004, when 11 Chinese road construction workers in the Kunduz area in the North-East were gunned down by unidentified elements.

	Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters
		A veteran journalist asked whether the Academy’s interest in presenting public policy programs directly to the public—programs that involve hundreds rather than thousands or hundreds of thousands of people—isn’t a bit “quaint” in a world of sound bites, round-the-clock TV coverage, the Internet, and sophisticated marketing and ad campaigns.
		What the Wisconsin Academy does in its public presentations is radically “different in character” from what usually passes for debate and discussion in today’s society.
		I view the Wisconsin Academy as one of the “keepers of the flame” of the honored American value of free and open discussion.
