  • Does Iran Counter-balancing Israel bring Stability?

    I suppose being an Israeli nowadays is quite bleak. Warmongers dominate all politics in Israel, apparently, and normal relations with allies who are distant neighbors can be destructive for them - Georgia being such an example.

Might it be that Rosner does not want the truth about Israeli US relations to be revealed?

  • Iraq: Failure, mistake, or Success?

    Much has been stated about the fact that we were wrong to enter Iraq. That success is measured by how quickly we can get out of Iraq. Consider this: Iraq is in the heart of what most extremist Muslims consider holy ground. By attacking Iraq we attacked the heart of what the extremist Muslim holds dear. They have responded in force.

  • Re: Power, Faith, and Fantasy...

    Oren's book is fairly accurate regarding American foreign policy. But even it does not go far enough into elucidating the grander themes of American foreign policy's ''world vision''. Rubma, while you are reading the era between WWI and WWII, please note whom are the world powers at that time, whom are controlling and dominating the Middle East ...
