17-Apr-11 World View -- Nato running out of bombs

Yemen women complain president is degrading them

Today's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com.

Nato is running short of precision bombs in Libya

A month ago, when the Libya campaign began, it was expected to end quickly, and the United States, which was already involved in two wars in Muslim nations, was to be involved for only a few days. But now Nato is in charge, but the Libyan action appears to be stalemated, and Nato is running short of precision laser-guided bombs and other munitions. The US has significant stockpiles of laser-guided missiles, but they don't fit on British- and French-made planes. The result is that there are increasing demands for the US to return to fully active participation in the air campaign. Washington Post

Hamas PM urges support of swap deal for Gilad Shalit

South Korea enhances military after Cheonan attack

It's been over a year since North Korea's attack on the South Korean warship Cheonan, killing 46 sailors. The Cheonan attack was a wake-up call to the South's military to improve combat preparedness and security awareness. The military is introducing spy drones and stealth fighters, and drastically strengthening the fire power of 650,000 member military. It's been several months since the last North Korean military provocation, so it may be time for a new one. Yonhap

Women in Yemen complain that president Saleh is degrading them

Thousands of Yemeni women protested in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, on Saturday, saying that President Ali Abdullah Saleh should be punished for being a misogynist. This follows his remarks on Friday that women who were participating in anti-government protests alongside men were violating Islamic principles that men and women should not mix. He advised women to stay at home. CNN
