Why the Middle East Peace Process Is a Farce

The Muslim regimes in the Middle East have never held any real intentions of formulating a peace process with Israel. There just isn’t any money and power in doing so. The Jewish presence is a wonderful distraction for Arab regimes to take attention away from their own corruption and incompetency. In fact, [...]

Egyptian Youth Disillusioned: Was Life Any Worse Under Mubarak?

Egypt is caught in yet another round of violence as protesters refuse to leave Tahrir Square. This time around, the revolution square is dominated by secular youth. Those same people that took to the streets in Egypt a year ago demanding freedom and democracy are now filled with despair. Egypt’s military forces beat a woman [...]

Muslim Brotherhood Begins Exerting Influence in Post-Mubarak Egypt

Energized by a early parliamentary election victory where they and other hard-line Islamist parties will make up two-thirds of Egyptian national parliament, the Muslim Brotherhood has been quick to exert its influence and newfound legitimacy. First they sent a signal to the Egyptian military (an established institutional power in Egypt) that they will decide the direction [...]

Will Freedom Drown in the Tidal Wave of Islamic Revolution?

Dictators have fallen in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen; Syria is suffering civil war; and rebellion is cooking in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Kuwait.

The source of this op-ed is the left-wing Israeli newspaper Haaretz. But don’t let that fool you. The writer is one of the most distinguished and erudite politicians Israel has ever produced. Perhaps that’s why he left Israeli politics years ago. Arab Spring will just bring upon Islamist dictatorships A wave of Islamic rule, with all it entails, [...]

Egypt’s Fast Deterioration To A Future Rogue State

The circumstances in Egypt should in no way, shape, or form be considered a phenomenon. That Islamism is most likely in Egypt’s future is par for the course.

Why Are We So Captivated By What Is Going On In the Middle East?

Assuming among those who have followed the events in the Middle East know the likelihood of all this ending badly is probably even money at this point. Islamism is very much a part of the populace. It is organic with deep roots dating back to the 7th century and a fresh set of legs starting [...]

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

No other holiday embodies the principles that define America like Independence Day.  And there is no better day to launch BigPeace than today. President Reagan led us to victory over the Soviets at the end of the Cold War without firing a bullet against them by maintaining an indefatigable position of “peace through strength.” The current [...]
