To promote a political public discourse through a rational and intellectual debate
I cannot brag to be a passionate reader of the Jerusalem Post newspaper; after all, it’s a preference of Dick Cheney and is therefore a right-wing newspaper - which it factually is. In fact, one can know that from a very simple and casual observation: there is a section (tab) titled “Iranian Threat”, at the […]
After reading Benny Morris’s article in the Op-Ed section of the New York Times of July 18th, 2008, I immediately had 2 questions: is this the same Benny Morris, a prominent Israeli historian and a scholar who produced groundbreaking work on Israeli-Arab conflicts and who is credited as being the most famous historian of the […]
Here is George W. Bush, the 43rd president (allegedly) of the US, addressing Israeli parliament (Knesset) earlier this year:
And then this headline from International Herald Tribune (global version of NY Times): ” U.S. envoy to join meeting with Iranian”
Many charged that George W. Bush was referring to Barack Obama via analogy when he addressed the […]
On Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 Iran fired off 9 medium and long range missiles, signaling retaliatory response if attacked by US or Israel. Predictably, Iran immediately drew an international rebuke, as New York Times headline reads. The White House rhetorical response was swift and harsh and filled with the same vitriolic bellicosity seen in the […]
The Washington chatter of the possibility of war with Iran has been going on for several years now, but is has not come to fruition just yet. However, the last few months the Bush administration began to move somewhat aggressively towards this mission.
It began with the resignation of Admiral Fallon, who was vehemently opposed to […]
“We’re not seeking permanent bases in Iraq. That’s been a clear matter of policy for some time”, said Tom Casey, a State Department spokesperson on January 24th, 2008, as reported in Asia Times Online. But clearly he wasn’t referring to the legal language that is being crafted right now into SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) […]
If you are one of those casual political observers and have begun asking all the important questions this political season, such as “when are gas prices coming down? Why doesn’t Obama wear a lapel flag pin? And who would you rather have a beer with, Obama or McCain?” Perhaps now it’s time to ask another […]
On Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 Barack Obama made his much publicized appearance in front of the most powerful Jewish lobby group in the United States - American Israel Public Affairs Committee. His speech was given on the 3rd and final day of what AIPAC calls “policy conference speech 2008″ - an elaborate terminology for a […]
On April 3rd, 2008 Bush received a delightful gift from NATO: endorsement of the non-functional missile defense, which serves as the extension of Reagan’s proposal to build anti-ballistic missile shield, popularly known as Star Wars. It’s worth noting the stated reason for this latest military endeavor: the Bush administration claims that the anti-ballistic missile shield […]
…Iran was preparing the world for an emerging stable energy supplier, making new relationships, strategic trading partners and restructuring the Middle East via its influence in Iraq. All the meanwhile defying the US and its imperialistic ambitions.
After 9/11, the Bush administration got a tremendous opportunity to not only unify the country around a common cause […]
