We live in a village in Hampshire just on the border of the New Forest ( it's approximately a ten minute drive away ).
It's a beautiful area and one we thoroughly enjoy.
It's also appreciated by our two boxer girls. They're 3 years old, sisters and almost identical in every way. Both girls have gentle, loving natures and they're dearly loved by all our family.
Last summer we were blessed with adorable little puppies. They all joined wonderful new homes and it's been a pleasure having occasional updates from their new families.

I've always been a huge dog lover,
I can't remember a period in my life when I didn't have a dog.
I fell in love with Boxers after I lost my Labrador Alice.
As I work from home (IT Technician) and have a large garden I decided to breed my Boxer.
She has a black mask and very few white markings(this makes white pups less likely), also she achieved a zero heart score when tested by a cardiologist

We are a small family kennel , my love for Boxers started in my twenties. I had a Boxer Cross when I was at home with my mum and dad. When I got married we got our first Boxer from Santanoaks Kennels in 1993 Zebedee and shortly after rescued a Boxer Cross Rocky for company. When we lost the old boys we could not bear to be without our beloved Boxers,so we rescued two four year old brothers Winston and Spencer. I then decided I would dearly love to show and breed so we contacted Santanoaks Kennels who gave me a number of a breeder who had used one of their stud dogs. Spirecracker Kami ( Bunty ....

A move to Shropshire and a new lifestyle enabled me to fulfil my passion to breed Boxers. I have owned Boxers for over thirty years and in 2008 I bred my first amazing litter of eleven puppies!
Life on a Shropshire farm is a wonderful environment for boxers, where their natural exuberance and intelliegence can be challenged! One of my boxers loves nothing more than to go out alongside the quad bike to feed stock in the fields......something I never thought I would see a boxer do!

Ukraine denies protectionism as 58 nations attack WTO tariffs plan
KIEV/GENEVA (Reuters) - Ukraine denied being protectionist on Tuesday as 58 countries attacked its plan to renegotiate hundreds of tariff ceilings at the World Trade Organization, with some warning that it could undermine the world trading system.
The former Soviet republic notified other WTO members of the tariffs move in a document marked "secret" last month, raising fears it could use a loophole to get around a fundamental check on protectionism and prompt other members to do the same.
Each of the WTO's 157 members has the right to raise or lower tariffs within an agreed ceiling, the "bound tariff". Some countries have negotiated small or technical changes to some tariff ceilings but Ukraine shocked the trading club by listing more than 350 tariffs that it intends to change.
Opposition to the tactic united countries that have been fiercely critical of each other's trade policies, including the United States, EU nations, China, Argentina and Ecuador.
In a written reply to Reuters questions, Ukraine's senior trade negotiator Valery Pyatnytsky defended the move as fully in line with the spirit and letter of WTO rules.
"We intend to carry out negotiations on reviewing bound tariffs for import duties because, in the current economic situation and due to threats that all WTO members are facing, the Ukrainian government must have certain flexibility in carrying out its trade policy with regards to tariffs," he said.
Pyatnytsky also cited the WTO's failure to finish the Doha Round of trade talks, over a wide-ranging liberalization of world trade, which collapsed last year after a decade.
The Doha talks were billed as a boon for developing countries. But many of them are now angry that, having opened their markets to U.S. and European companies, there has been no reciprocal move from the rich world to benefit poorer countries.
At a WTO committee meeting on Tuesday, another Ukrainian official said the country had accepted very open terms of trade when it joined the WTO in 2008, while many members were "highly protected" with much less market openness.
"Ukraine de facto is a developing transition economy. Its highly liberalized market access is a tangible contribution to this system. However, in light of today's reality we recognize the adjustments are necessary to strengthen our trade policy," the diplomat said according to a transcript obtained by Reuters.
Ukraine was not seeking to challenge the traditional "asymmetry" of the system, but "there is space and potential in the system to accommodate Ukraine's trade policy adjustments", the diplomat said.
Representatives of 58 countries spoke out against Ukraine at the meeting, with some saying the tactic could undo decades of trade liberalization, and nobody spoke in support of the country.
"Ukraine's proposed action has serious systemic implications and the United States, like others, is concerned about the precedent that it could create," a U.S. trade official told the meeting.
"Nearly four weeks after Ukraine tabled its notification, members still do not know what Ukraine's real objectives are, what proposed new rates Ukraine is seeking, how it contemplates compensating members and whether we have the correct data to analyze the situation."
Ukraine's official at the meeting said it had not stated any intention to raise its tariff ceilings, only to "modify ... the scope and coverage" of its tariff agreements. Pyatnytsky said reviewing the binding tariffs would not necessarily lead to higher import duties.
But such reassurances failed to convince Ukraine's critics, who are a third of the way through a 90-day window to respond. They urged Ukraine to explain its intentions, since it had not yet provided enough information for them to formulate any response, and to reconsider its plans.

The Israel Electric Corporation – concerned that excessive use of air
conditioners will cause power outages during the current heatwave – would be
happy to see more people using electric fans during peak use instead. But a new
systemic review by the prestigious Cochrane Library has not found reliable
evidence that fans are of any benefit to health in temperatures over 35 degrees
Celsius.The just-published study was conducted by Cochrane's UK-based,
nonprofit international network of scientists from over 100 countries, who
sought to determine the reliability of medical discoveries based on
evidence.The review found no high quality evidence to guide future
national and international policies, and outlined the type of study that would
help resolve the uncertainty – presented in a podcast and an editorial published
Thursday.Heatwaves in Europe and the US have led to increasing interest
in health protection measures to reduce the impact of such extreme weather on
human health, the researchers wrote. Heatwaves are also an issue for mass
gatherings and require future planning.Health experts have questioned
whether a fan does more harm than good in heatwaves. One of the review authors,
public health expert Dr. Saurabh Gupta of the Hertfordshire Community National
Health Service Trust in the UK, said: "It is important to know about the
potential benefits and harms of electric fans when choosing whether to use one.
This is true if you are simply making a decision about your own use of a fan,
but it also applies to broader public health decisions, such as whether to give
electric fans to groups of people during a heatwave."A fan "might help
to increase heat loss if the temperature is below 35 degrees and the fan is not
directly aimed at the person," he wrote, "but when temperatures are above 35
degrees, the fan might actually contribute to heat gain. Excess sweating can
also lead to dehydration and other health problems."This is particularly
important for people who are considered more vulnerable to the effects of heat,
such as older adults who are less able to cool down through sweating or
increasing the flow of blood to their skin, the team wrote.The Cochrane
researchers discussed how they looked for high quality research that had
compared groups of people using fans with groups who didn't use them during a
heatwave. "However, we didn't find any research that met our requirements. We
did find some studies [that] used designs that are less reliable for answering
this sort of question, and these had mixed results. Some suggested that fans
might reduce health problems, while others suggested that the fans might make
things worse."Prof. Mike Clarke from the All-Ireland Hub for Trials
Methodology Research in Queen's University Belfast commented in an editorial:
"We have shown that the evidence is not already out there on the benefits and
harms of electric fans. We need a large randomized trial to resolve this
longstanding and ongoing uncertainty and to help people make well-informed
choices about their use."As a result, the national and local heatwave
guidelines that have been published are largely built on evidence from
physiological and occupational studies, and there are considerable gaps in the
evidence, the Cochrane researchers stated.They concluded that complete
planning is crucial, however, since "if heatwaves become more common, there is
an increasing risk of occupational exposure in adults and those exercising in
hot weather, including children at school."High temperatures can
influence mortality, and a range of chronic diseases such as those involving the
respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine and musculoskeletal systems are affected,
as are psychiatric patients. Diabetics are known to be at increased risk of
dehydration, leading to emergency room admission during hot weather, the
researchers wrote, so it is vital to obtain scientific evidence whether fans are
enough to relieve the heat.But the evidence, they concluded, is not

He had twisted his ankle.
His foot was swollen and it ached,
Hurt him to the degree that he could no longer concentrate.
He had lost the capacity to figure.
His mind no longer able to grasp even very simple things,
His eyes appeared vacant, as if in a trance.
He was young and he kissed the back of her hand,
He kissed her about the face,
He kissed her eyelids,
And he rested his lips at the base of her neck.
He had kissed the skin all-over both her shoulders.
He and she were minors, and their ardency,
Its possible consequence worried their parents.
There was no question about the boy being strong.
Within the warmth of a late August, summer night,
The couple walked hand in hand along a dirt path.
They followed a trail along side truck-farm fields,
Alternate tracts of cabbage and corn,
Which then became a shortcut,
A line through an expanse of crabgrass scrub.
The land rose a few inches,
Slightly above the counter-sunk, worn-earth channel,
Suggesting a beaten path, a safe passage,
Perhaps once a native American footway,
Of an age older than most would dream.
They headed toward an old Dutch Elm.
The tree grew beside the muddy bank of a creek,
Whose occasional flow emptied west into a river,
A river the early French settlers had named Des Plaines.
They thought that they might sail away upon the waters.
The Milky Way seemed to stretch out across
The vault of deep space more like some
Will-o-wisp patch of terrestrial weather
Than the starry edge of our own galaxy.
Yet more, much more than the taste of salt -
The tiny sweat above her brows, more than how
Moisture had collected and now had formed
Fetchingly to glisten upon her shoulders,
It was a night whose such awesome, absolute clarity
Enhanced a once-in-a-life-time, white light streak,
At its end a mighty, bright flash erased the sky.
Though now near midnight, all nature cast a quick shadow.
The day's heat permeated the late summer evening.
They were standing before the great Dutch Elm,
The tree beside the muddy bank of the creek,
The small, occasional water emptying west into the river,
The river the early French settlers had named Des Plaines.
In a momentary all-over illumination,
The youths saw their silhouette.
They were merged as one.
They saw themselves fused into a single shade.
A snap of thunder followed, and, there, in the instant,
All of heavenly influence fell upon their embrace.
And when they turned and gazed upon each other,
Before either of them spoke a word,
They had come to believe that
In a book all their days had been written.
The verse which enfolds telling of this one moment
Had already been composed.
Though still no gathering of the waters into the seas,
Prior to Earth's becoming the name for dry land,
Likewise before the glory of first morning or first sun's set,
Even before the beginning when the Spirit of God
Announced light and illuminated the darkness,
They had been granted affection.
Before the beginning,
Before the Lord brought into being
The blazing brilliance across the infinite deep,
And called it good,
They had been blessed with ever grateful remembrance.
This one moment had already been written.

Illinois Can't Even Afford to Pay Lottery Winners.
A while ago, we told you about how a bush league Illinois bureaucrat – the head of the IL Lottery – was embarking on a tour of the continental United States, exporting Illinois' unique brand of crazy to other, unwilling states, who not only didn't listen to his fairy tales about the horrors of privatizing lotteries, they did exactly the opposite of what he said. Because, as it turns out, he was only mad about the lottery thing because he wasn't part of the private company they hired to run it.
Now, as Illinois faces record low temperatures and record high unemployment, Jones is made his tour international and jetted off to a lottery conference in London, where he was feted alongside corporate CEOs and government officials, attended swanky events at incredible venues like London's 02 arena, and spoke, presumably, on how not to run a profitable state lottery.
But I suppose it wouldn't be entirely true to say that the Illinois lottery doesn't have problems. After all, Jones has been spending quite a lot of the entity's money jetting off to far off locations to complain about his job, and even state-run entities in economically illiterate states like Illinois have finite budgets. There's only so much cash to go around. So after the little globe-trotting spree, it's no wonder the Illinois lottery is having a little trouble cashing checks to winners.
The Illinois Lottery bounced dozens of checks written to winners, many for scratch-off tickets worth $1,000.
Lottery spokesman Mike Lang said Friday that the mistake happened when a computer file wasn't sent on time to the lottery's bank. He says lottery officials didn't key in the required security verification for the checks.
The lottery wrote 311 checks on Dec. 28. Of those checks about 85 bounced. Lang says the lottery offices were short-staffed because of the holidays. The affected checks totaled about $159,000.
Lang says the lottery will pay for any bank fees that occurred because of the checks. The lottery also is apologizing by sending free scratch-off tickets to those affected.
The lottery insists the problem was not a result of poor money management, but rather, poor management generally. If it had been the result of poor money management, they could merely have cut the travel budget for their director. But perhaps it's time Illinois citizens start questioning why they are avoiding cutting their director.

BREAKINGVIEWS-Gujarat holds key to Suzuki's Indian labour crisis
(The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own)
By Jeff Glekin
MUMBAI, July 20 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Suzuki's Indian flagship is beset by labour unrest. Problems at the Japanese carmaker's Haryana plant also echo squabbles at Tata Motors in West Bengal. But an enterprising Gujarat may come to Suzuki's rescue as it did for Tata.
Suzuki's Indian venture should be a source of pride. The Japanese automaker was the first foreign player to make an impact through its 1981 joint venture with government-owned Maruti. Suzuki now owns over 50 percent of the equity, with the government having sold its entire stake in 2007. And the company is the nation's market leader with its India-listed business valued at close to $6 billion. But it has been dogged by labour disputes.
This week a riot at its Haryana factory saw a personnel manager die and around 100 employees, including two Japanese nationals, injured. And the horrific episode is not a one-off. Labour unrest cost the company more than $500 million in lost production in 2011.
India can ill afford its automotive sector to slump. It's one of the few success stories in Indian manufacturing. With no caps on foreign direct investment, new entrants have spurred competition and exports already make up 15 percent of output.
The problems for Suzuki have some parallels with a Tata Motors saga of 2008. Two years of agitation by farmers over land compensation halted production at the original plant in West Bengal, and was only resolved when Gujarat's Chief Minister Narendra Modi famously convinced Ratan Tata to shift the factory to his state. Modi is now on a similar mission with Suzuki. He flies to Tokyo this weekend in an effort to get then to shift production to Gujarat.
Such competition between states is useful. It can help to keep in check the political forces which tend to make some sectors uncompetitive. And it may be just the fix Suzuki needs. But there is risk that it will further fuel inequality between India's industrial hubs and its under-developed hinterlands.
- A riot at a northern factory of Indian carmaker Maruti Suzuki, which is majority owned by Tokyo listed Suzuki Motor Corp, shut the plant on July 19 and inflicted the biggest loss on its share price in almost two years.
- Labour unrest at the factory, where the trade union has accused India's biggest car manufacturer of anti-worker and anti-union activities, cost the company more than $500 million in lost production in 2011. Wednesday's trouble flared after a disciplinary incident against one employee. Company officials say workers began to attack senior management during discussions, while the union said its representatives were attacked first. Human resources manager Awanish Kumar Dev was burned to death during the riot, and the Japanese manager of the factory was also attacked, the company said.
- Shares in Maruti Suzuki, whose sales fell 11 percent in the fiscal year to March partly as a result of the protracted strikes, fell 8.9 percent on July 19, their biggest daily percentage drop since July 26, 2010. Suzuki shares closed down 3.8 percent in Tokyo, at their lowest level since February 2009.
The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi is leaving for Japan on Sunday with the aim of convincing Suzuki leadership to substantially scale production at its Gujarat plant from the existing 250,000 cars every year, India's Business standard reported on July 20.

SEOmoz raises $18M
Send this to a friend
- Puget Sound Business Journal
SEOmoz, a Seattle company that makes search engine optimization software for marketers, has raised $18 million in financing from Brad Feld's Foundry Group of Boulder, Colo., with additional investment from Ignition Partners of Bellevue.
In a blog post, SEOmoz CEO Rand Fishkin said the funds will be used to add 12-15 new employees to the existing workforce of 60; move its offices to accommodate a larger workforce; increase marketing; and launch new products.
In his post, Fishkin said Gillian Muessig, the company's co-founder and his mother, will be stepping down from the board of directors and resigning her title of president.
The company created a "memeified" press release to announce the $18 million deal.

The man ran out with money and headed east. He dropped some of the cash. A police K-9 helped officers search the area around the bank and the surrounding neighborhood.
Witnesses told police the robber is a black man who was wearing a hoodie and sweatpants.
A robber struck the same bank January 18. David Randall Terrell, 32, of Nederland, is facing federal charges for the robbery as well as the January 15 hold-up of MidSouth Bank on North Main in Vidor. Police say Terrell is also a suspect in the January 19 robbery of Woodforest National Bank inside Kroger on Dowlen.
Vidor Police continue searching for the man who robbed BBVA Compass Bank on North Main in Vidor on January 14. Police describe the robber as a heavyset black man wearing a knit cap.

BPD and the FBI are investigating a robbery that occurred this morning at the BBVA Compass Bank located at 2635 Interstate 10 E.

There were several employees and at least one customer inside the bank at the time of the robbery. None of them were physically injured.
Patrol Officers, with the assistance of our K-9 unit, searched extensively for the robber but had not located him at the time of this release.

Nurturing Australian Furniture Design: AFDA-
Adelaide based lighting designer represented in NSW by Catapult Design-
Exploring futuristic ideas on Australian Urbanism - Australia's two-part NOW + WHEN Australian Urbanism exhibition, Venice 2010. Competition now open.
A national design competition by Australia's creative directors for the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale opens today (Tuesday, October 27) highlighting three Australian urban regions as they are now, before representing futuristic urban settings as they may be when we reach 2050.
Growing Australian Urbanism has led to the idea for a theme for the 2010 Architecture Biennale which invites Australia's architects to unleash their imaginations in addressing the issues of this Australian Urbanism.
The two-part exhibition, NOW + WHEN Australian Urbanism, in Venice next year will highlight three Australian urban regions as they stand today and how they may appear in 2050 and beyond culminating in a futuristic look at the idea of what could constitute Australian Urbanism in the future.
The creative team behind NOW+WHEN, John Gollings and Ivan Rijavec, see urban transformation in Australia 2050 and beyond being driven as much by political and economic imperatives as they will be by technology and design. Rijavec and Gollings are keen to see designs which reflect these circumstances.
"We're especially interested in really imaginative designs with a strong theoretical basis which both integrate cultural influences and exploit the creative potential of architecture," Rijavec says.
Profiling Sydney, Melbourne and Surfers Paradise through stereoscopic visuals, the NOW component will demonstrate contrasting views of these cities from macro-scapes at 20,000 feet to "helicoptering" views of urban and architectural icons at close range.
WHEN is daring to imagine Australian urban spaces in 40 years' and beyond, with the intent of "catapulting urban debate into eye-popping visceral entertainment set in a soundscape", according to Gollings and Rijavec.
Liberating architects from current planning and design constraints and encouraging speculative, futuristic visions, the Designs for Australia's cities 2050+ competition is being held to source material for the WHEN part of Australia's exhibition.
A shortlist of entrants will be selected to develop their designs further, from which a group of finalists will be announced and whose work will be exhibited at the Australian Pavilion in Venice next year.
All competition information is available at architecture.com.au/nowandwhen
The Australian Exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale is a major project of the Australian Institute of Architects.

12 months until the ILO Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 comes into force.
Applicabilty: All shipowners and operators
On 20 August, 2012, the Philippines ratified the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), 2006. Thirty members of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), with a total share in the world gross tonnage of ships of more than 33 per cent, have now ratified the Convention. This means that the Convention will come into force on 20 August, 2013. A full list of members that have ratified the Convention is contained below.*
Owners and managers now have 12 months to comply with the requirements of the MLC, 2006 and to obtain certification for ships flagged by members that have ratified the Convention:
• of 500 gt or over, engaged in international voyages; and
• of 500 gt or over, flying the flag of a member and operating from a port, or between ports, in another country.
The following steps are to be taken to obtain certification:
• apply for a Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (DMLC) Part I from the flag state, in accordance with flag state instructions
• prepare the Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (DMLC) Part II
• ensure the ship is fully compliant with the requirements of the MLC and DMLC Part I and II
• arrange an initial ILO MLC inspection of the ship by the flag state or a recognised organisation (RO).
Where flag states are not yet issuing DMLC Part I, owners and managers are urged to proceed with the preparation of DMLC Part II against the requirements of the MLC, 2006 to ensure that they are better prepared to achieve compliance and certification of their ships on time. Lloyd's Register's ILO MLC, 2006 checklists can be used for this purpose. The checklists detail everything in the Convention that has to be addressed and indicate where compliance with national legislation is required.
Lloyd's Register (LR) is fully prepared for the implementation of MLC, 2006. We have a worldwide network of ILO MLC, 2006 Inspectors operated through our Marine Management Systems network and supported by seven ILO Specialists in strategic global locations. LR has been assisting companies to prepare for the MLC, 2006 for over three years, including full company-wide compliance reviews, individual vessel trial inspections and a range of training courses.
The services LR provide include:
• review of the DMLC Part II
• inspections to the MLC, 2006 and issue of inspection reports
• issue of the Maritime Labour Certificate on behalf of flags which have ratified the Convention, where LR has been authorised as an RO
• training for shore personnel
• training for ship's staff
• audits of manning agents.
When a company is establishing the measures they will take to comply with MLC, 2006 requirements, they often find they already comply with many requirements of the Convention. It is, however, important to identify the areas where compliance is not yet achieved. It should be noted that for some requirements, for example medical certificates, the documents or forms used are not under the company's direct control and any issues arising may not be easy to resolve. One of the main reasons for a company to commence the review of their compliance early is to ensure they have sufficient time to address any problems.
The ILO MLC inspection of any ship, with the exception of passenger ships, can be completed within one day. When planning the date and location of an ILO inspection, please contact LR well in advance so that we can ensure that the inspection is carried out effectively and with minimum disruption to the ship.
Companies are advised to contact LR as soon as possible for full assistance with the process of obtaining MLC certification.
(*) ILO Members that have ratified the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006: Liberia, Marshall Islands, Bahamas, Panama, Norway, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria, Canada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Switzerland, Benin, Singapore, Denmark, Antigua and Barbuda, Latvia, Luxembourg, Kiribati, Australia, Netherlands, Tuvalu, St Kitts & Nevis, Togo, Poland, Palau, Sweden, Cyprus, Russian Federation, Philippines

Protests in Bahrain 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Bahrain this week accused the Lebanese Hezbollah group of responsibility for a
series of bombings in the Bahraini capital Manama.The five bomb blasts,
in the Adliya and Gudaybiya districts of the city, came amid renewed protests by
members of the island's 70 percent Shi'a majority against the Sunni Khalifa
monarchy. Two Asian cleaning workers were killed.Information Minister
Samira Ibrahim bin Rajab issued the accusation against Hezbollah. She said that
the terrorists were operating according to principles set by Iranian Supreme
Leader Ali Khamenei, and further accused the Iranian media of inciting against
the monarchy. The minister did not offer any concrete evidence to back up her
accusation of Hezbollah's involvement.Official Bahraini claims of
Iranian interference in the internal affairs of the island are nothing
new.The ruling al-Khalifa family has long sought to locate the protests
against it in the context of the cold war between anti-Western Iran and the
Sunni Gulf monarchies, which are pragmatically aligned with the West.As
an ally of the West, and the host of the US Fifth Fleet, the Bahraini monarchy
is keen to depict its internal struggles as a local manifestation of a broader
conflict.Critics of the monarchy argue that this is a comfortable
narrative for the rulers of Bahrain to promote.It enables them to
downplay or ignore very real claims of discrimination and exclusion levelled by
the Shi'a majority.This tendency manifests itself in concrete ways. In
September, for example, a Bahraini civilian court upheld very harsh sentences
against leaders of last year's uprising. A prosecution official said that "some
of the accused had relations, and strived to have relations and intelligence
contacts, with a foreign organization, Hezbollah, which works in the interests
of Iran."But while the instrumental value for the monarchy's accusing
Iran is obvious, this does not of itself render the accusations groundless. No
concrete evidence has yet been offered to back up claims of Hezbollah or the
Revolutionary Guard's military support for the Bahraini opposition. Indeed, the
Bahraini revolt against the monarchy has been largely non-violent in
nature.But there is considerable evidence to suggest that Tehran is
offering financial and political assistance to the opposition in Bahrain. The regime of the mullahs has long claimed ownership of the island, which it
refers to as Iran's "14th province."The assertion of this claim has not
been confined to mere declarations.Tehran directly assisted a failed
pro- Iranian coup attempt by the so-called Islamic Front for the Liberation of
Bahrain in 1981.A recent report produced by the American Enterprise
Institute traced the financial support of a number of Iranian clerical offices,
including that of Khamenei, for the Bahraini opposition.An investigation
by a London newspaper into the "Bahrain Freedom Movement," based in the British
capital, found that the movement's leader, Dr. Saeed Shehabi, worked out of
offices directly owned by the government of the Islamic Republic of
Iran.Hassan Mshaima, who was among the opposition leaders jailed for
life in May, went as far as proposing Iranian military intervention in support
of the uprising last year.Mshaima, leader of the powerful Shi'a Islamist
Haq movement, made these remarks in an interview with the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese
Al- Akhbar newspaper.Senior Iranian officials, up to and including
Khamenei, have been vociferous in their overt support for the Bahraini uprising.
The Iranian state media has also kept up a steady drum-beat of condemnation of
the Bahraini authorities. The criticism grew angrier following the Saudi and GCC
military intervention in support of the Bahraini monarchy in March
2011.From a Western point of view, there is an obvious cynicism at the
heart of Iranian support for the Bahraini protesters. Iran crushed similar
protests at home in 2009.Tehran is deeply involved in the brutal Assad
dictatorship's struggle for survival in Syria.But, of course, the
Iranian cynicism is directly mirrored by the Saudi approach, which supports
revolt in Syria and suppression of protests in Bahrain.Support for
representative government and the right to protest are not factors. The
motivation is sectarian and concerned with power.Where the Sunnis are in
power – in Bahrain, for example – the Saudis back the Sunnis. Where the Sunnis
are in rebellion, as in Syria, Riyadh is with the rebels. The Iranians use the
same logic – supporting the rebels in Bahrain and the ruling authorities in
Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.A Sunni-Shi'a arc of conflict, centered on the
rival interests of Tehran and Riyadh, is now bisecting the Middle East. This arc
stretches from Lebanon, via Syria and Iraq, taking in Bahrain, Kuwait and the
eastern province of Saudi Arabia and extending to north Yemen.In each of
these areas, Sunni and Shi'a Arabs are competing for power.In each area,
the Iranians back the Shi'a interest while the Saudis and, to a lesser extent
the smaller Gulf monarchies, back the Sunnis.For both sides sectarian
identity is the defining factor.Saudi and Gulf concerns arise from their
accurate identification of Iran's regional ambitions and its methods for
building power and influence.The Iranians lack powerful conventional
armed forces. The tools they utilize are those of creation and/or sponsorship of
proxies, political subversion, sectarian propaganda and, where relevant, the use
of paramilitary methods.The Saudis, with a less successful track record
in political warfare, are trying to counter the Iranian push using similar
methods.No matter who was directly responsible for the explosions in
Bahrain this week, it can be said with certainty that the bombings and their
aftermath were another episode in this ongoing, region-wide contest.This
contest is notable for the absence of an external guiding hand on either side.
Both sides estimate that the US has chosen to unilaterally withdraw from
regional leadership.The Iranians are happy about this. The Saudis are
dismayed.Neither side is democratic. Sectarian loyalties mark the
borderline.The roots of the enmity go down into past
centuries.The Sunni-Shi'a arc of conflict looks set to form the key
strategic process in the period now taking shape in the Middle East.
