Does Muammar Gaddafi suffer from Saddam Hussein‘s affliction: absolute power? Power is evil. Power can make you think that you are God. Power can make you think that you are immortal. Muammar Gaddafi and his sons are deaf, out of touch with reality. President Obama has called on Colonel Gaddafi to step down now, and he’s not [...]

If you want justice, you must work for peace. The US has vetoed the U.N. resolution declaring Israeli settlements illegal. It is disappointing. President Obama is basically following the steps of George W. Bush regarding policy in the Middle East. This unfortunate move sends the wrong message to the Arab world–especially the Palestinians–that the United States is [...]

The West was never bothered before that Mubarak wasn’t a democrat: If a dog offers to help you across the river, don’t ask if he is suffering from mange

The way President Mubarak of Egypt has been dumped in the mud by his “friends” in the West is unbelievable. Only the state of Israel has been consistent in their support and show of gratitude to a man who, for thirty years, has been an important ally and prevented the destruction of Israel by Muslim extremists. In France, [...]

The former Alaska governor and Tea Party leader fights hard to stay in the news. Her latest “faux pas”, her call to the White House to ask the president about Egypt. It is laughable. I do not know if she has advisors to help her achieve her goals. Known for not being an expert in foreign [...]

While America is celebrating the 100th anniversary of President Reagan‘s birth, President George W. Bush just cancelled a trip to Switzerland, fearing an arrest and charges of crimes against humanity. Human rights groups are actively building cases against the former US president and his entourage–including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condoleeza Rice–over the mistreatment of prisoners in Guatanamo Bay.

US and Israel shouldn’t worry about a new Egyptian government: If you keep your head and heart going in the right direction, you don’t have to worry about your feet

It is true, it is better to deal with the devil you know than the one you don’t. Egypt’s troubles do not affect only the US but the whole Middle East. Israel signed a peace treaty with Egypt. Nobody knows if the Muslim extremists will take over Egypt, and if so, what type of relations the future Egyptian [...]

The US government is monitoring the protests in Egypt. President Mubarak, seen as a friend of the US and its allies, is in danger of being overthrown. The 82 year old dictator is resisting the calls for his resignation.Instead he dissolved his government to appoint his close ally as vice-president to appease his people. He certainly [...]

After been arrested over rape allegations in Sweden, Julian Assange (of WikiLeaks fame) has regained his freedom after posting a bond to the British authorities. To me, Julian Assange is a living hero for his WikiLeaks work. His actions there are courageous. I’m concerned his life is in danger. The US government especially will do everything to arrest or [...]

The death of high profile diplomat Richard Holbrooke is big news. Some faces symbolize America internationally. Richard was one of those faces. Holbrooke achieved a lot for peace in Kosovo and was very critical of Hamid Karzai’s government involvement in corruption. Holbrooke and Karzai did not like each other very much. For sure, he served his country with [...]

The whistleblower site Wikileaks has certainly succeeded in getting world attention. It also helps us to know what world leaders think in the shadows and the way they play a double game between nations on important international matters. So far, the countries of the Arab Gulf are certainly the ones being shamed in their stand against [...]
