Abu Muquama is one of my favorite new blogs - by two people with serious cred in counterinsurgency (I've groveled and begged them to follow Totten and crosspost some of their stuff here, that's how good I think they are). You ought to be reading them.
Along with the Small Wars Journal, they are helping some folks in Afghanistan out - apparently, there is an ad-hoc counterinsurgency academy being run by some wicked smart mid-level Army officers.
They need books.
You have money.
Are you getting my drift? Throw down for a book or two and help make more wicked smart U.S. soldiers.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
