Over the past several years, almost 5 million Syrian refugees have fled their battle-torn country for safety in other countries. Most have gone to neighboring countries, overwhelming their resources. Roughly 500,000 have fled to Europe creating, together with another 500,000 refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries, the well-reported refugee crisis there. This is a crisis on…

Over the course of the past year, we have witnessed a startling increase in terrorist violence undertaken either by organized groups of people or lone individuals under the influence of ISIS’ message of hatred and war against the “crusaders.” This violence has many negative impacts beyond those who are killed or injured by the…

If you read the newspapers, even The New York Times, and listened to the media in the first few days after the Brexit vote, you would have thought that the vote to exit the EU meant the end of the world as we know it and a financial downturn. But neither is even remotely true. The…

President Obama’s plan to use military force against Syria’s government is a flawed policy decision. The only way in which force is justified now is because chemical weapons have been introduced, which is to say that the use of chemical weapons automatically justifies the use of force. I disagree. In this particular instance, the Syrian government…

America has an undying belief that our system of government, democracy, is the best system of governance in the world and that all people should live in a democracy and experience its benefits. Connected to this is our belief that from a geopolitical perspective, a government will more likely be our ally if it is…

Recently I viewed a DVD about the struggles of West Bank Palestinian villagers against the encroachment on their land and olive groves by both the nearby Israeli settlement … a city, really … as well as the “wall.” It’s a depressing reminder of what Israel has become mired in as a result of its decades-long occupation…
