Castro and Obama

Israel vs. Hamas: Pretty Talk and Ugly Realities
No phrase represents more of a triumph of hope over experience than the phrase “Middle East peace process.” A close second might be the once-fashionable notion that Israel should “trade land for peace.” Since everybody seems to be criticizing...
Airstrikes Against Iran?
Why do I assume that air strikes against Iran will be ineffective, especially given the sad shape of the Iranian economy and its weak military capability? [1] My answer: because everything Bush has done for the past seven years indicates that the strikes will be...
George W. Bush’s Empowerment of Iran

Africa: A Tragic Continent
