We , by contrast , are weighted down by important ongoing and unresolved conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan , a runaway North Korean nuclear program , as I mentioned earlier , our need to adjust cautiously and prudently to China 's political and military rise , and above all , to the sprouting of post-9 / 11 versions of al Qaeda . This is true across a very wide set of countries ; it ’ s true holding income constant at the country level . When I afterwards had time for reflection , I did not fail to attribute the extreme violence of the explosion , as regarded myself , to its proper cause — my situation directly above it , and in the line of its greatest power .

After 15 years of state deterioration and the absence of much governance , plus a brief period of brusque control by the Islamic Courts Union , Somalia desperately needs a period of tutelage under UN auspices .

His hair was gray , and collected into a queue behind .
