NATO summit

The NATO summit ended up this weekend in Lisbon, and it seems that a lot of compromise has been made. On many issues, including Afghanistan, cyberwarfare, nuclear weaponry, transition in Afghanistan, and more NATO seemed to be on the same page, hopefully meaning progress will be made in these areas. One thing that needs to be made sure of, however, is that these aren't simply "fluf" promises, and that the appropriate measures will be taken.

Hopefully this signals the positive movement of NATO towards becoming an international organization more suited towards the global problems of the 21st century. However, with 28 member states who each act in their own national interests and must all agree on policies and actions it is, unfortunately, unlikely that major policy shifts will occur in the near future.
