Year of the Peacock

This will be the year of Iran – either the Peacock Throne will acquire the bomb, or it will suffer military strike to prevent that, or it will be displaced from within. Whichever, the events will be pivotal on the international stage and Iran will be...

the End Game

The Persian Conundrum is a tertiary puzzle. We will end up with Iran minus a nuclear program; or Iran with a nuclear program; or Iran under new management. We are insisting on the first option, which is least likely and will only happen voluntarily in...

Iranian/American Hold ‘Em

Last time, I talked about the gambit being run by the US (holding out international gasoline sanctions against Tehran’s continued unsupervised nuclear activity) and Iran’s response (kidnapping of three Americans and the occupation of a southern...

Iran Calls Our Bluff

I’ve discussed Iran’s nuclear weapons program in these pages before, but an incident occurred early Friday that has been under-reported. A small unit of special operators entered southern Iraq and occupied an oil well in an area that Iran...

Progress in Iran

American and Iranian negotiators met face-to-face in Geneve on 1 October to begin a process that many on the Left consider what has been missing from the Iranian nuclear program since it was discovered. Two initiatives came out of the talks – allowing...

Obama’s Summer of Discontent

Aside from having to put lipstick on his pig of an August, President Obama comes face-to-face with his “negotiate or else” deadline on Iran. This will turn out to be more of an insight into his leadership than anything else (neither we nor anyone else...

Мать Россия

Barack Obama has finished his first trip to Мать Россия (Mother Russia) and came away without headlines or “breakthroughs”. This is a success. Trust me, any surprises ( e.g ., headlines, breakthroughs) coming out of Putin’s Russia wouldn’t...

the Middle East and Barack Hussein Obama

In a piece to be published in The New York Review of Books on June 11, Hussein Agha and Robert Malley parrot the conventional wisdom about the Bush administration’s “reckless” activity in the Middle East. By virtually every measure – name, race, origins...

Self Hypnosis

Barack Obama is enthralled with the power of his own rhetoric to point of narcissism, but why not – he rose to the presidency of the United States while being entirely unblemished by accomplishments (that one is on us, the voters). He took a bath...
