Don’t Expect an Able Iraqi Army Soon
Two years ago, during the month of Ramadan, a bus carrying 50 Iraqi soldiers heading home on leave was ambushed outside Baghdad. The soldiers were led out of the bus, lined up on the pavement, and killed -- like so many other Iraqi soldiers, policemen, and recruits trained by the

Forget the Domino Theories
The wise men (and woman) don't know their history. In boldly suggesting that "all key issues in the Middle East are inextricably linked," the authors of the Iraq Study Group report seem stunningly indifferent to the past 25 years of Middle East politics. The basic proposition -- linkage -- is

Prince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., has resigned. The prince reportedly flew out of Washington after informing Condoleezza Rice, and his own staff, that he was leaving, just 15 months after arriving. The Saudi Embassy told the Associated Press that he was "going home to spend more

A Key Actor in Iraq
On November 16, the Iraqi government issued an arrest warrant for Harith al-Dhari, secretary-general of the Muslim Scholars Association, the country's most influential Sunni Arab religious organization.

Carter's Book Is a Disservice to Peace
This article was reprinted by the San Francisco Chronicle on December 20, 2006, under the headline, “Carter's Polemic Will Not Help the Palestinians.” Former President Jimmy Carter has spent much of his adult life championing Palestinian rights.

The Price of Passivity
The governments on both of our “hot” fronts, Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority, are on the verge of change, with practical, immediate implications for Israel—and unfortunately, not positive ones. Rather, the storm clouds continue to gather on the strategic horizon. In Lebanon, Fouad Siniora’s government is under vocal attack, accompanied
