I have found a fount of information on the Middle East thanks to the UK’s blunder of plagiarism on their Iraq report a few months ago. The UK failed to mention that they copied chunks of their report from an article published originally in MERIA. It stands for Middle East Review of International Affairs. There are articles about all the major players in the Middle East from Chinese Arms Exports to Iran to Current Iraqi Military Capabilities. I will be spending a LOT of my reading time in here the next several weeks.
