U.S. READY TO UPGRADE TIES WITH LIBYA, Middle East Newsline

>Moving strongly into Africa... I notice oil and gas exploration (with plenty of 'gushers' found) is exploding all over N. Africa and E. Africa as well as the telecommunications and the services industries. Libya, Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya...

I am teaching a current events class tonight for CAP-USAF Aux. Cadets: "East Africa's Path to Peace and Prosperity - Jobs, FDI, Connectivity, Security!" Its gonna be a blast!

I have done this type of class twice now. The Cadets perk up and get involved (even hours later they show up with thought or question after question), the parents and Senior officers slide in, participate and suggest topics for future classes. It's all based on looking at current events from the PNM point of view, simple, verifiable and believable. As a suggestion, if you were to write a "A Guide to Current Events Analysis - The Use of Horizontal Thinking" as a High School level textbook, you would create an entire new mind set in our younger people. I know you are strongly focused on the powers that be and soon will be, but a generational shift not impossible and without help - these kids are VERY confused about world affairs. Today's media and political parties, etc, do a wonderful job of keeping the kids ignorant and confused.

More good indication of the utility of Vol. III, which definitely will be a guide to horizontal thinking.
