Knowledgeable DUers: Please help w/ this International Relations Paper

[The Blue Knight]

I'm in International Relations right now, and we have to break down an international conflict between two states, but only on the events in that crisis since August '05.

I have to analyze the 3 systems of analysis (international system, the states, and the leaders of said states) and say which combination of these has resulted in the crisis and a bunch of other bullshit.

Anyway, everyone is doing something dull like North Korea/US or something. I'd like to do something a tad less known or more interesting. Anybody know of a worthy international conflict, and could provide some links to some articles on said conflict?

Thanks.

1. US/Venezuala nt

[Synnical]

2. Venezuela would be my suggestion as well

Or Iran or Syria

3. Venezuela it is.

Many of thanks to you two.

6. Suggestion: do Colombia-Venezuela instead of US-Venezuela

You'll be able to apply greater "objectivity" if one of the countries isn't the USA -- assuming you live in the USA of course.

4. Doesn't have to involve the US, right?

These might be some conflicts with recent developments:
Colombia-Venezuela
Uganda-Congo
Chechnya-Russia

5. Have we renamed any French items in the past couple of months?

I kid.

VZ is good.
