In the week since the last American troops left Iraq, Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an arrest warrant for the country's highest-ranking Sunni official, threatened to exclude the rival sect from his government and warned that "rivers of blood" would flow if Sunnis seek an autonomous region. The moves confirmed what many long-time observers of Iraqi politics have suspected since al-Maliki came to office more than five years ago &#8212; that he has an authoritarian streak and beneath his tireless rhetoric about national unity is essentially a sectarian politician.(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)</p> http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/07/13/7073090-google-social-net-is-about-preserving-leadershiphttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/07/13/7073090-google-social-net-is-about-preserving-leadershipgoogletechnologyussocialtecambitionsWed, 13 Jul 2011 09:02:18 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post<p>This screen shot shows a page from Google Plus.

No one expects military-run Myanmar, also known as Burma, to obtain an atomic bomb anytime soon, but experts have the Southeast Asian nation on their radar screen.
