Some interesting links from around the web:

• A regional briefing from Winds of Change; this time on the -Stans in Asia. Interesting tidbit: Russia has opened a base in Kyrgyzstan, just 18 miles from the new US base.
• New Gallup poll in Baghdad shows 67% of Iraqis think getting rid of Saddam was worth the hardships they've endured since then. (Found at InstaPundit)
• Rand Simberg finds some "evidence" that Clark was right: the country was founded on progressive taxation, as he said.
• Chris Bertram has an interesting, link-filled post about Capuchin monkeys, fairness, and Hobbes.
• Henry Farrell has a, in my mind, flawed but fun article about online gaming and gun control.
