Most of the links you find here can be considered news rather than objective analysis. However, I receive wonderful emails occasionally from an organization called STRATFOR. They do analysis.
And it is amazing stuff.
If you truly want to gain a better understanding of this war on terror - with no political filter applied, then go here and read the whole thing.
However...before you do please note you will need 15 minutes of quiet reading time...and you will need to have your brain fully engaged.
If you like what you read, you can subscribe to the same analysis email for free...information is near the bottom of the document.
Sample:
The avalanche of bad news (for al Qaeda) did not stop there.
Libya, fully aware of the trends in the region, decided this was a propitious time to move closer to the United States.
In the Arab world, only Syria remained outside the process. The Syrians had badly misread the situation during last summer, betting that the United States would get bogged down in Iraq. They bet on the guerrillas.
Suddenly, as December wore on, they realized that they had not only guessed wrong, but had become completely isolated in the Arab world and surrounded on all sides by enemies.
Damascus began to make accommodating gestures as the New Year began, inviting Likud Knesset members to Damascus and sending President Bashar al-Assad off to Turkey.
