Not bad. I always encourage people (specifically American news consumers) to read news related to foreign affairs. If for no other reason than to understand that there are other things happening in the world worthy of their attention. This is an easy one. Not especially complicated. Provides a good summary of recent events. Relevant contextually to current goings-on on in the region. Worthwhile. "Most Americans are close to total ignorance about the world. They are ignorant. That is an unhealthy condition in a country in which foreign policy has to be endorsed by the people if it is to be pursued. And it makes it much more difficult for any president to pursue an intelligent policy that does justice to the complexity of the world." - Zbigniew Brzezinski
