It's over. The missing AirAsia plane has been found. Debris has been spotted off the coast of Indonesia, as have bodies of the victims. Angela Anggi Ranastianis' papa will not be coming home. This is a moment of great sadness. And yet we also feel a sense of release, a relief that the outcome has been determined and the grieving can finally begin. This is what MH370 has taught us. We once imagined that the worst possible scenario is a plane that crashes -- be it due to a bomb or pilot error. Now we know that there is no greater horror than a plane that goes missing. A plane that simply disappears, taking with it the lives of all of its passengers but leaving behind a dreadful limbo where their families are still waiting to mourn, trapped by the fish-hook of hope. Reuters Aviation crisis consultant Ken Jenkins, who worked with families of the Malaysian Airline families, says, "When you don't have the aircraft or any wreckage or any confirmation of what happened to them,

There is little doubt that one man dominated 2014 in India:  Narendra Modi . But can he dominate 2015 as well? On recent form, we can’t be sure. Let us first list his achievements so far. After a spectacular victory in May 2014, the Prime minister has been winning election after election for his party – the most recent one being Jharkhand - and has also restored the primacy of the PMO in policy matters. He is not just  primus inter pares , but  numero uno  in all things that matter in this government. He has made waves in foreign policy, which is probably his most successful side so far. He has also made good changes in defence and railway leadership, with the induction of Manohar Parikkar and Suresh Prabhu as cabinet ministers. Otherwise, the promise of his government exceeds performance by a wide margin. Modi has, for example,  announced some bold policy initiatives (Make in India, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan,  et al ), and pushed through some  modest legislation through parliament (the ju

WASHINGTON:   Maj. Gen. Michael K. Nagata, commander of U.S. Special Operations forces in the Middle East, sought help this summer in solving an urgent problem for the U.S. military: What makes the Islamic State so dangerous?  Trying to decipher this complex enemy - a hybrid terrorist organization and a conventional army - is such a conundrum that Nagata assembled an unofficial brain trust outside the traditional realms of expertise within the Pentagon, State Department and intelligence agencies, in search of fresh ideas and inspiration. Business professors, for example, are examining the Islamic State's marketing and branding strategies.  "We do not understand the movement and until we do, we are not going to defeat it," he said, according to the confidential minutes of a conference call he held with the experts. "We have not defeated the idea. We do not even understand the idea."  Nagata's frustration is shared by other U.S. officials. Even as President Ba

JAKARTA:   The AirAsia plane which went missing with 162 people on board en route for Singapore is likely at the bottom of the sea, Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency chief said Monday. "Based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea," Bambang Soelistyo told a press conference. "That's the preliminary suspicion and it can develop based on the evaluation of the result of our search."
