If you haven't read Kaplan, you should. His book on warrior politics is pretty much a must-read these days.

Kaplan is brilliant, but he is not an optimist. This is the kind of deal where he's loved by some Freepers and hated by others.

I recommend this fantastic book by Kaplan (who is a prolific traveler as well as author):

The Ends of the Earth : From Togo to Turkmenistan, from Iran to Cambodia, a Journey to the Frontiers ofAnarchy

Here is a review of the book: http://www.scottlondon.com/reviews/kaplan.html

Robert Kaplan's articles in the Atlantic Monthly are really good too. His articles are among the main reasons I still subscribe to the magazine. I am also currently reading his earlier book, Soldiers Of God.

Of interest. In particular, follow the link to Kaplan's "prediction of what Iraq would look like after the fall of Saddam".
