 World History Connected | Vol. 3 No. 2| Book Review
For Lieven, the Creed is the part of American nationalism that made it possible for the United States to function as a "civilizational" empire that could act in ways that gained the admiration and respect of many people around the world.
Lieven claims that evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity is a powerful ideological force in many parts of the United States and that they provide substantial support for a religious nationalism that taps into the civic nationalism of the American Creed but also feels threatened by the secular, modernist, internationalist aspects of the Creed.
In essence, Lieven argues that the United States and Israel are synonymous in the eyes of many Arabs and Muslims and that the U.S. inability to engage Israel in a critical manner threatens efforts to create genuine democracy in the region.

 Leiden - LoveToKnow 1911
The two branches of the Rhine which enter Leiden on the east unite in the centre of the town, which is further intersected by numerous small and sombre canals, with tree-bordered quays and old houses.
At the junction of the two arms of the Rhine stands the old castle (De Burcht), a circular tower built on an earthen mound.
See P. Blok, Eine hollandsche stad in de middeleeuwen (The Hague, 1883) ; and for the siege see J. Motley, The Rise of the Dutch Republic (1896).

 Vleeshal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Vleeshal is a historical building on the Grote Markt in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
It was designed in renaissance style by Lieven de Key.
Before that there was already a small Vleeshal on the crossing of the Spekstraat and the Warmoesstraat, but around 1600 it had become too small, and the meat had to be sold outside.

 Anatol Lieven, right or wrong   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Lieven employs a formidable armoury of qualities: wit and sarcasm, a knowledge of his critics that enables him often to pre–empt their likely counter–jibes; and frequent (albeit tactical) empathy for opposing views, which reveals a genuine attempt to diagnose the illnesses of US foreign policy and propose remedies.
Lieven’s inability to cope with dissent – his failure of true liberalism – is at the root of the permeating dogmatism of his argument.
Lieven’s discrediting efforts are grave enough when he labels opponents for their ideas, graver still when the label refers to their ethnic or religious affiliation.

 AEI - Short Publications
Lieven argues that Americans who support current U.S. foreign policies are infused with a "bellicose" nationalism that has been a principal catalyst for an overreaction to the events of September 11.
Lieven's worldview, one apparently has to be intolerant, belligerent and xenophobic in order to offer supporttotheBush administration's foreign policy.
Lieven has surprisingly little to offer, except such anodyne suggestions as that the U.S. should "restrain the excesses of capitalism and reshape the economy to serve the American people; and make America once again a leader by consent, concerned for the health, stability and longevity of the current international system."

 Terrorism
The first lesson of the Cold War, Lieven writes, is to "know thine enemy." The dangers in the current war "are made worse by a mixture of ignorance, ingrained prejudice, and an ideologically rigid categorization of 'the enemy'".
Another key lesson from the Cold War is the need to engage the support of authorities and ordinary people in Muslim states, most of all in the fields of intelligence and policing.
Lieven describes a strategy to seek an opening to Iran, like President Nixon's opening to China, to profit from the country's deep hatred for the Taliban and Iraq.

Anatol Lieven is British by birth and spent most of his career as a journalist in South Asia and the former Soviet Union.
Today's neoconservatives, however, are neither original nor profound, and their key recent works are just twinkly beads of journalistic commentary strung together on a necklace of prejudice.
There were also, however, key differences, which led to radical differences in the respective strength of Western and Communist forces in different circumstances.

 WWI Origins
Lieven's account focuses on the troubled Tsarist regime and its relations with Germany.
Lieven argues that Russia's actions were defensive and domestic pressure (prior humiliations, social tension, etc.) compelled the Tsar to mobilize in the face of Austrian belligerence and a potential quick defeat at the hands of Germany.
Austrian ambitions in the Balkans, the Tsar's limited foreign policy options, and Germany's inability to curb its militarism (and Vienna) are enough for Lieven to conclude the blame for war must "unequivocally rest with the German government"

 Non-human primates and language: paper
The keys were regularly redistributed around her keyboard so as to ensure that Lana was learning a sequence of lexigrams rather than a sequence of positions on her keyboard.
Considering the fact that all of the keys on the keyboard have a specific colour and each colour designates a specific semantic category, the possibility exists that Lana might have cracked this colour code and thus rather than understanding syntactic structures, Lana might have memorized a chain of well-ingrained stimulus-response sequences.
The key to a 'theory of mind' is exactly the ability to deceive with intent, according to Byrne and Whiten, such tactical deception being defined as "an individual's capacity to use an 'honest act' from his normal repertoire in a different context, such that even familiar individuals are misled" (1987, qtd.

Overlooking the Grote Markt is the De Hallen, or The Halls museum complex, whose two buildings -- the Vleeshal and the Verweyhal House -- contain a variety of artworks, ranging from temporary special exhibitions to a permanent collection of modern art by artists from Haarlem and surrounding areas.
Externally it is unique, for nowhere in the country is there such a fine sweep of stepped gables that invite you, had you a giant's stride, to clamber up to the pinnacle that almost seems to pierce the scudding clouds.
It was built in 1602-03 by Lieven de Key, Haarlem's master builder.

 Chechnya: Thombstone of Russian Power by Anatol Lieven   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The war between Russia and the Chechen forces, from December 1994 to August 1996, was a key moment in Russian and even world history, shedding a stark light on the end of Russia as a great military and imperial power.
In this penetrating new study, Anatol Lieven sets Russia's humiliation at the hands of a highly motivated, yet tiny group of guerilla in a plausible framework for the first time.
Providing the first in-depth anthropological portrait in English of the is extraordinary fighting people, he makes a vigorous, original and important contribution to debates on the origin of nationalism, the nature of national identity, and the destiny of the Russian empire.

 America Right or Wrong: AsiaSource Interview with Anatol Lieven
Anatol Lieven is senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, DC.
There was that moment in the presidential debates when it was Bush who was saying that the US needs a multilateral policy towards the threat of North Korea with a key role for China; a curious irony given the Bush administration's frequent celebration of its own unilateralism, but not actually wrong.
Bush in many ways is a fake Wilsonian because while he professes this messianic, democratization line, he has completely ignored the other key aspect of Wilson's strategy: international cooperation, international institutions, creating a web of alliances and so forth.

 MIFTAH--Candidates omit Israeli-Palestinian conflict from U.S. debate
Many important foreign policy topics went unexplored during the first debate of the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign but perhaps most unusual was the lack of attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
And in both cases, the references came in the context of achieving peace in Iraq, not the conflict between Israel and Palestinians that roils the region with no end in sight.
Anatol Lieven of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said Thursday's debate "demonstrated the extreme difficulty in the United States of having a serious national debate on subject of strategy toward the Middle East."

DE WAALSE KERK (Walloon Church): Now used by the Walloon church (French-speaking Protestants, also called Huguenots), in Pilgrim times it was the chapel of the St. Catharine's Hospital.
It is possible to see the roof of the chapel of the Begijnhof from the almshouse garden.
The almshouse was built for members of the Walloon church, through a legacy from Jean Pesyn and his wife Marie de la Noye, who was probably a distant relative of Philip Delanoye, the Pilgrim ancestor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
