		The Dominican Republic has large-scale organizations, such as political parties, interest groups, professional associations, and bureacratic organizations, but often the informal networks are as important, and therefore, the most difficult for outsiders to penetrate and to understand.
		To comprehend Dominican politics, therefore, one must understand first of all the family networks: who is related to whom, and how and what (if anything) these family ties mean.
		For example, what goes by the name of a political party actually may turn out to be the personalistic apparatus of a single politician or family; or a certain office within the government bureaucracy may turn out to be the private preserve of a single family or clan.

		As a 13-year-old activist, Pierre was arrested and threatened with deportation from the Dominican Republic for leading her fellow neighbors of Haitian descent in a march for cane-cutters' rights.

	The ICG Strikes Again - by Nebojsa Malic
		Long a supporter of independent, Albanian-dominated Kosovo, the ICG published a new report this week, titled "Kosovo: Toward Final Status," which unequivocally recommends that the occupied Serbian province be granted international recognition.
		The timing, coordination, and presentation of the report suggest it is part of a major push for Kosovo's independence, together with the efforts of pro-Albanian U.S. legislators and Kosovo "Prime Minister" Ramush Haradinaj.
		Then again, the argument "sure it would be illegal, but so was the 1999 war, and look how well that went" demonstrates that ICG is in open contempt of the reality-based community.

	neo-neocon: Wars, civil and/or religious: Part I (civil war--nothing civil about it)
		In addition, some of these civil wars on the list are also proxy international wars, in which foreign powers ally with one segment or other to try to influence matters to the benefit of that foreign power.
		There's an argument to be made that the present war in Iraq is at least partly just such a proxy war between the US and Iran, just as the Vietnamese war represented (as did so many civil wars of that era) a struggle between Communism and the US.
		For myself, I think the shortness and ease of the original, official war was clearly illusory; I fully expected a longer-drawn-out war at the beginning, with violence of the street-to-street variety.

		In a civil war, the main struggle is over who will govern, with each side rejecting the legitimacy of the other to take control of the government.
		The third criterion holds that the state must be formally involved in the war, which allows for the exclusion of communal conflicts where there are two warring identity groups.
		Furthermore, since the spring of 2006 at least, the number of deaths by sectarian groups (commonly referred to as death squads) has far outpaced that of suicide bombers (presumed to be foreign insurgents).
