Iraq war: Lessons learned?
Ten years have passed since the United States invaded Iraq, a decision that almost everyone now ranks as one of the worst foreign policy blunders of our time. Why "almost"? Former President George W. Bush and his top aides still maintain that the invasion...

Obama's Wavering Red Line Over Syria
The Hartford CourantYou know you're in trouble when you can't even get your walk-back story straight. Stung by the worldwide derision that met President Barack Obama's fudging and fumbling of his chemical-weapons red line in Syria, the White House leaked to The New York...Tags: Unrest, Conflicts and War, Syrian Civil War (2011 - present ), Barack Obama, Israel, The New York Times

Abraham Foxman: How Obama can close 'trust gap' among Israelis
It is useful to look at what President Barack Obama might accomplish on his visit to Israel, which starts Wednesday. Whether or not a new government has been formed, the most important aspect of Obama's visit is, in my view, what he says to the people of...Tags: Barack Obama, Politics, Islam, Camp David, Elections
