  • Iran has Red Lines; Too Bad the US Doesn't

    Jewish Policy Center

    Arguments over Corker-Cardin were strictly domestic. Iran doesn't care what we legislate; they have their red lines set. Too bad the Administration doesn't.

  • Forty Years from Saigon

    American Thinker

    Forty years after the fall of Saigon, the US is still trying to draw lessons for the protection of our interests and our allies. We're not doing too well.

  • The Doctrine of Proportionality

    Gatestone Institute

    Proportionality in international law is not about equality of death or civilian suffering, or even about [equality of] firepower. Proportionality weighs the necessity of a military action against suffering that the action might cause to enemy civilians in the vicinity. Applied to the Gaza war, it provides a basis for better understanding of the issues.

  • How Does Israel End Up the Bad Guy?

    American Thinker

    Israel was under intense provocation by Hamas before, during and after the kidnapping and murder of three teenagers (one an American citizen), but the US, the UN and other urged "restraint" only on Israel.

  • Guarding American Interests in the Sunni Shiite War

    Gatestone Institute

    Either way, bottom line: no nuclear Iran. The U.S. retains a still-vast ability to meet its national defense priorities. The open questions are: the political skill to define them, and the will to ensure that that the greatest threat to regional and world stability -- Iranian nuclear capability - is stopped for good.

  • Reacting to Chemicals in Syria

    American Thinker

    Destroying Syria's Air Force and long-range artillery, and for that matter its known chemical stockpiles, would not be an act of war or an intervention in the Syrian civil war. It would be an operation to remove a threat of mass murder...it would teach a hard and effective lesson to the regime about what the civilized world considers behavior beyond the pale.

  • History is Only Inevitable in Retrospect

    inFOCUS Magazine

    From American journalists and diplomats writing from Germany between the World Wars, we can take lessons to guide us in understanding the great totalitarian movement of the early 21st Century—radical Islam in both its Sunni and Shiite forms.

  • There's Nothing "Homegrown" about Boston Terror Attack

    Forbes.com

    Baseball, iPhones and Google are homegrown; tomatoes should be. There is nothing "homegrown" about Islamic terrorism, which is taught, bought and paid for by international sponsors, primarily Iran and Wahabi Saudi Arabia. The fact that jihadists buy people living in the United States doesn't make the terror less a foreign import.

  • Forty Years from Saigon

    American Thinker

    40 years ago Saigon fell; the US is still trying to draw lessons to protect our interests and our allies. We're not doing too well.

  • All Terrorism is Connected

    InSIGHT: Jewish Policy Center

    The Tarnaev brothers were cruelly successful, but they are far from the only terrorists over the past decade with big ideas about carnage in America. There is a temptation with each act of terror to see it as isolated, connected to the mental state of the actor, but not to larger forces. The FBI used to have theories about "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" and "Lone Wolves" that were not only wrong, but also pulled law enforcement off the track.

  • Burning Down the Palestinian House

    InSIGHT: Jewish Policy Center

    Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas has agreed to "suspend unilateral action" against Israel for some indefinite period of time (and) not make any additional unilateral efforts in the UN or try to convince the International Criminal Court to take up action against Israel. This is the functional equivalent of agreeing not to swing the wrecking ball after you've set the house on fire.

  • How to Use American Influence

    Jewish Policy Center

    Instead of colonial occupation forces, the U.S. takes its money, arms, training and agenda abroad. It is a specifically American conceit that people in other countries and other societies want our social and governmental blueprint as well as our money, medicine and weapons.

  • Because They Could

    Jewish Policy Center

    Israel's operation in Gaza was short, precise and effective because the government had clear objectives and the public had faith in the government. Iron Dome helped.
