Anyone else read "Foreign Policy" magazine?

or am I the only supernerd with too much time on my hands

it's pretty good, I'd say it's more often liberal than not, but it has good articles on global topics IMO

this month had stories on Al-Jazeera, US support of Israel (cover story: is the Lobby too strong?), John Bolton at the UN, bureaucracy in developing nations, a story or global tourism, one on diseases that afflict the third world, how religion and politics are meshing around the globe, genocide in Uganda, and the Terrorism Index: foreign policy experts examine the US war on terror and what we are doing both well and poorly.

it is pulished 6 times a year with a newstand price of 6 bucks - my local Borders carries it - I've read the last two and find it well worth it and pretty educational for a magazine...

anyone else read it? want to discuss articles from the current issue?

I used to read it when I was in college. Maybe I'll hit the Borders by work and check it out.

Oh maybe it was FA, then. Which one is the small black-and-white mag with the blueish cover?

That's Foreign Affairs, published bi-monthly.

Great mag
