Confronted at every Turn

After Barak Obama’s election as President of the United States speculators stated that our nation would be tested within six months by extreme Islamic forces. Since the inauguration we have transcended eleven months without incident but does that mean the threat is nonexistent?
Our nation’s involvement in World War I, II, Korea, and Vietnam all [...]

Lines on a Map Mean Nothing

The Great War, i.e. World War I, was to be the war that ended all wars , and the Treaty of Versailles, signed after the cessation of the hostilities, was supposed to put a geographic security blanket in place. Coupled with no war and new boundaries was the assurance the League of Nations would [...]

When Men Say Peace

If you think the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is ready for the next round of peace talks consider this quote: “I say this clearly; I do not accept the Jewish State.” Thus spoke Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stated, “Netanyahu’s demand that Palestinians recognize the Jewish State is ruining the chance for peace.”

Q and A

The question of Iran’s potential nuclear threat is a topic that cannot be avoided but are there any answers?
For instance is Iran a threat regionally? If you consider Israel, you would say no but if you consider their support of Hezbollah, a radical Shia terror group, then Lebanon’s existence becomes an issue.

In the midst of all the fear and turmoil,  we also saw the likes of both Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mummar Qaddafi addressing the United Nations. These despot leaders, are promoters of terrorism, men that have [...]

Passion in Propaganda

The protestors in the streets challenging Iran’s recent Presidential election have given way to a different group of people. Iranians are now marching to show their solidarity for the Palestinians living in Israel which truly is an interesting turn of events.
The Shia majority of Iran has always been warring with the Sunnis of [...]

Nothing New

There appears to be great concern over the warning of Arab nations given to America as to how it is going to deal with Israel in the future. The reality is, however, that this is not a new phenomenon in Israeli-U.S. Relations, and it certainly would be expected under the circumstances.
One cannot help but [...]

Caught in the Process

Does the language of the Peace Process really mean anything in the reality of what is actually happening?

For instance, when liberal politicians dominate the landscape,  Israeli settlements are defined as a “natural expansion”.  But the same settlements are defined as “obstacles of peace” when conservatives are in control.

The two nation solution is actually now a [...]

Irony

When a two hundred kilogram bomb intended for former President Jimmy Carter which had been placed by an al Qaeda cell was defused, death was certainly avoided.

Ironic, Carter who was in Gaza holding sympathetic talks with Hamas would be targeted by a radical terror group. Carter is said to have wept over the [...]
