La civilización... Noa, la vida es bella


Ella es Noa.

Es yemenita, judía, israelí, neoyorkina, y desde que cantó el tema principal de La vida es bella, italiana, entre otras causas y razones de orígen, nacimiento y vida. Es seguro que tiene algún parentesco con Chava Alberstein, aquí cantando en Berlín La escalera: el de la misma humanidad de todos y cada uno de nosotros.

No sabemos qué rostro tenia un ancestro de ambas, María, la que dió a luz en Belén de Judá...

En un breve de la Rand Corporation, encontramos en su página 29 el artículo titulado New World Disorder: Different Types of Ungoverned Territories Warrant Different Responses, de Ángel Rabasa. En su testimonio ante el Senado de los EE.UU. dado el 12 de diciembre de 2001, en su nota 2, encontramos

According to court documents in Spain where eight alleged terrorists have been jailed pending trial, one of the eight jailed men, Luis Jose Gallant Gonzalez, known as Yusuf Gallant, received military training at an Indonesian Al Qaida camp in July. An individual named Parlindungan Siregar, aka Parlin, was named as his contact. Parlin reportedly works in the structure of the Laskar Jihad organization. When Gallant Gonzalez was arrested at his Madrid home last week, police found guns, ammunition, knives, a bulletproof vest, forged identification documents, travel documents to Indonesia and pictures apparently taken at the Indonesian camp. In the United States, authorities arrested an Indonesian named Agus Budiman, who is suspected of assisting one of the hijackers involved in the September 11 attacks.

Del mismo autor, junto a otros, el libro Ungoverned Territories: Understanding and Reducing Terrorism Risks (Rand Co., 2007), del que el artículo inicialmente mentado es extracto. De éste anotamos:

We studied eight presently ungoverned territories: the Pakistani-Afghan border region, parts of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sulawesi-Mindanao arc straddling Indonesia and the Philippines in Southeast Asia, the East African corridor from Sudan and the Horn of Africa to Mozambique and Zimbabwe, West Africa from Nigeria westward, the North Caucasus region of Russia, the Colombian-Venezuelan border, and the Guatemala-Chiapas (Mexico) border. These territories are distributed across four continents and include both Muslim and non-Muslim regions.

¿Alguna sugerencia sobre las prioridades del Reino en estas áreas?
