Video Europe is in the streets. From Paris to Brussels, Milan to Lisbon, hundreds of thousands of citizens are protesting rising living costs, stagnant wages, unaffordable housing and deteriorating public services. In France , demonstrations have descended into burning barricades, looted businesses, and attacks on public buildings. Elsewhere, students, workers and frustrated families are demanding that their governments deliver the prosperity and security they have long promised. Most protesters are peaceful, but the unrest reflects a growing anxiety that Europe’s economic and social model is no longer delivering. The immediate grievances vary, but the underlying problem is more profound: too many European economies have become better at protecting yesterday’s arrangements than creating tomorrow’s opportunities. Excessive regulation, rigid labor structures, fragmented capital markets, and slow decision-making constrain the growth necessary to sustain Europe’s generous social promises. ...

(photo credit: REUTERS/KARAM AL-MASRI) Southern Syria is facing renewed security challenges as armed groups attack government security forces, tensions continue in Suwayda, and the Syrian government confronts threats from ISIS cells in areas around Damascus. The developments illustrate the difficulties Syria's government faces as it seeks to maintain security across the country. Southern Syria is particularly complex for several reasons. One reason is the continued Israeli raids along the border. Syrians are becoming increasingly angry and frustrated with Israeli patrols into Syrian villages. Last week, a Syrian was killed, and this led to protests. There is also the issue of the Druze in Suwayda . The Druze area is not under government control and has sought varying degrees of independence. At the same time, I...
