For email subscribers, here is the link to today's post at my new foreignpolicy.com blog:

• put up or shut up, in which I respond to critiques of Friday's post on U.S. public diplomacy in the Gaza crisis
• Why Obama still needs to get out of Iraq, in which I direct readers to my new article on, well, why Obama still needs to get out of Iraq. 

I will continue to post these links for the forseeable future. 

For old aardvark fans, here's a poster done in the manner of the iconic Obama poster:

You can make your own here.

Also, a reminder about two public diplomacy events I'll be taking part in this week:

• Tuesday, January 13:  I will be chairing one of the morning sessions at Matt Armstrong's Smith-Mundt symposium. This promises to be a fascinating day of discussions -- details at his site.
• Wednesday, January 14: Under-Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Jim Glassman will give one of his final official speeches on public diplomacy (unless he gets re-upped) at GWU's Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communications. Consider it his valedictory address, and/or an audition.  It will be in the Lindner Commons (Rm 602) at the Elliott School of International Affairs, 10:00-11:30.
