Do you believe in bad luck? Coincidence? Strange things happen in life that sometimes we are unable to explain. Five South American leftist presidents have been diagnosed with cancer. The leftists are known for being very vocal against US foreign policy. Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, is one of them. Chavez did not directly accuse [...]

Amnesty International (the human rights organization that fights for the voiceless, fights for equality all around the world) is asking Canada to arrest and prosecute former US President George W. Bush during his visit to Canada on October 20th. The human rights group has accused President Bush of crimes against humanity.  This is a test [...]

The 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack in New York has just passed. This anniversary was special because this time, Osama Bin Laden is dead. This anniversary is also a moment of meditation, a moment of thinking and asking the question: Why? American people don’t understand why Al-Qaeda is obssessed with seeing America fall. The root [...]

Bad news brings worse news sometimes. After the economic bombshell this week, the US has lost a SEAL team, its elite force, in a helicopter attack in Afghanistan. The mood in the country is somber. It is a sad day for the nation, and a sad day for the families of those who have lost [...]

Depending on how you define the word “victory”, negotiating a peace deal with the Taliban can be an honorable way to exit from what is – for the US – a deep hole into which billions of dollars have been thrown (while American debt keeps increasing). Afghanistan, without the Taliban, will never have peace. The question is, what type of role [...]

Pakistan has bitten the hand that feeds it. Relations between the US and Pakistan will never be the same. The Pakistani government is still trying to figure out how to save face. The humiliation is a national embarassment. Between billions and the $25 million put on Osama’s head, it was worth more to protect the Al-Qaeda leader [...]

If you cut the head off a snake, the rest is a rope. The death of bin Laden deals a serious blow to Al Qaeda.  Since the announcement of Osama bin Laden’s death, there are two type of skeptics: those supporters of Osama who refuse to trust their own ears and those who refuse to [...]

Osama Bin Laden is dead. For those who hated him, today is a good day. For those who supported him, it is a sorrowful day. For sure, the death of Osama Bin Laden means the birth of millions of ”Osama”s in the Muslim world. It is foolish to believe  that the death of the most wanted man in [...]

The US military will not succeed where the Russians failed. The war against the Taliban is not a winnable war. Events lately only confirm this: An escape tunnel was dug to free 480 prisoners, an Afghan pilot shot and killed 8 US soldiers and a contractor out of anger. The US must leave both Afghanistan and [...]
