Some of these are a little older since I have published two topic-specific posts since my last general collection.
+ Brad DeLong links my Tom: Angell or not? post (with Tom's comments appended) as worth reading.
+ Sun Bin writes in The curse on the strong - why 4GW is so hard to fight?
Thomas Barnett is among the few people who recognize the asymmetry of 4GW, and has submitted a proposal on how to deal with it. The best strategy to deal with 4GW, or any war, has been spelled out by clearly by Sun Zi, and reiterated in Useless Tree. It is so simple and straightforward, and common sense. It does not take a strategist to understand this. i.e., When you are fighting an asymmetric war, you need to first figure out what is asymmetric and try to change that.
+ Dan Abbott applies PNM theory to Lebanon in AfroIslamic Gap v. New Core, Reloaded.
+ I'm excited about having a Spanish-language weblog link to Tom: Mackinlay's. Here's a post where Agustin talks specifically about Tom.
+ The War Room links to Tom and his SysAdmin concept while discussing the Army and Schoomaker's reset.
+ Silicon Hutong (May 5th but it's new to me) lists Tom's among these sites (re: China):
The sites I find I want to read constantly are the ones that truly serve a need, that offer solutions, that answer a question, consolidate information. That point people in a direction.+ Brandon Winters discusses Tom's ideas about connecting Iran in Countdown to Conflagration.
+ James Holmes straw-mans Tom's thinking by making it it dependent on a reference to Kant, and then disqualifiying China because they're not a republic in Has Taiwan decided against defending itself? (published on the Taipei Times website). Tom says 'republicanism' can follow capitalism (of course).
