America could be said to be building a united front against Iran, but at what price?

We must understand how Clinton's mind and that of a large portion of the Western elite works.

Perhaps these seeming word games and niceties are beyond the interest or comprehension of many people, but everyone involved directly on this issue knows exactly what is happening.

Why have those who govern Syria followed such a pattern for more than six decades under almost a dozen different regimes?

Moderate Muslims have been neglected and isolated by this project which has helped the radicals, Islamists, and pro-terrorists.

Even in the Dutch mass media there are shocking things written on a regular basis about Jews and Israel.

The Obama Administration plan is very simple, assuming that everything goes smoothly–which of course it will not.
