Gaddafi: Time Off from Tyranny?

There is a point which is being missed in the current Gaddafi-the-tyrant issue. Years ago it was understood Gaddafi was a monster. Our intelligence indicated he gave the direct order to blow up Pan American flight 103 in 1988 killing 270 people; he gave the order to blow up an American servicemen’s night club in [...]

Military Force vs. Gaddafi: Welcome and Worrisome

The use of military force against Gaddafi is welcome but simultaneously worrisome. Welcome in that American ground troops will not be landing in Tripoli and that US and a coalition of other nations are trying to stop Libya from a further massacre of its own people. But worrisome in that there is large uncertainties about [...]

What To Do In Libya? Arm Both Sides!

As the world struggles with what to do with Libya and the uprisings in the whole of the Middle East, let us be honest, there are no good options, anything we do is bad and doing nothing is also bad.  Our policies of corruption of the past seventy years have reaped this reward.

Never Forget: Remembering 9/11 for the Horror It Was

Iranian Mullahs: Can We Talk? (Part 2)

That then is our dilemma. Though we rhetorically see Iran as a state sponsor of terror, and even officially say so in our annual State Department reports on the same subject, our actions to date, and from every administration since 1979, have revealed a general unwillingness to face an ugly reality.

Lockerbie Release: Terrorist States Continue to Benefit from U.S./Allies’ Naïveté

The drama playing out over the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland reveals a continued and tragic blindness of the United States and its allies about the origins of terrorism. The President’s Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism recommended after reviewing the case “a more vigorous policy that not only pursues [...]
