Why world must react to Taliban execution
Editor's note: Zainab Salbi is an Iraqi American writer, activist and social entrepreneur who is founder of Washington-based Women for Women International, a humanitarian organization aimed at helping women survivors of war
(CNN) - The execution of Najiba, an Afghan woman in her 20's, shot 13 times in front of a cheering crowed in Parwan province - and seen widely online in a grainy cell phone video - is a show of confidence by the Taliban.
It's unclear why she was shot, but local officials offer various reasons for her execution.
She was reportedly executed last month for adultery, a crime that is indeed punishable in Islam. But for an adultery charge to be proved, Islam requires four eyewitness accounts that match precisely. << FULL ARTICLE >>

Amanpour and Assad in 2005
ARCHIVE: In 2005 Christiane Amanpour interviewed Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad just ahead of a U.N. report on the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Are the U.S. elections preventing peace in Syria?
The international community has been saying that Russia stands in the way of the world uniting to stop the bloodshed in Syria. But on the Amanpour program Tuesday night, Dmitri Simes – a highly connected Russia expert – told Christiane Amanpour that while Putin might not like it, the Russian president would not resist an international intervention in Syria. But in actuality, is it the U.S. elections that are creating a risk-adverse environment preventing stronger efforts to stop Al-Assad's war on his own people? Nicholas Burns, a top U.S. official in both the Clinton and Bush administrations, maintains that the U.S. is indeed laying the roadblocks for peace and Russia is still standing in the way.

Russia Analyst: Russia wouldn’t resist intervention in Syria
By Lucky Gold
The violence in Syria continues unabated and with it the international outrage and calls for President Bashar Assad to step down. So far, Russia, Syria’s chief ally along with China, has stood by the Assad regime.
But that could be changing.
In a startlingly frank interview Monday on Amanpour, Dimitri Simes, the Russian-born President of the Center for the National Interest, a Washington-based think tank with close connections to the Russian government and Russian foreign policy experts, responded to this question from Christiane Amanpour:
“Do you mean if the U.S. decided to gather its own coalition and do for instance what it did in Kosovo, do an end run around Russia, that Russia would not resist?”
“Since you asked,” said Simes, “We recently heard a top level Russian delegation….It included Russian officials being there in an official capacity…and this question was raised, and the answer was very clear: Russia would not welcome such an intervention, Russia would not approve such an intervention.”
Then, came the bombshell: “It would not resist such an intervention, and this intervention would not become a major issue in the U.S.-Russian relationship.”
Responded Ms. Amanpour: “Well, that’s a bit of a green light in my book.”

I am the president
Mexico’s presidential election has yet to be certified, but despite a recount and allegations of vote buying, Enrique Peña Nieto does not hesitate to claim victory.
“I am the president by a decision of the majority of Mexicans,” he said Thursday on Amanpour. “This is a whole process that is very strictly following the law…In the month of September, the electoral tribunal will legally designate me as president.”
When he is confirmed as president, a top priority will be ending the spiral of violence and drug-related crime that have left over fifty thousand dead since 2006. FULL POST
