April 18, 2018 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

“This is about humanity,” President Trump said of attacking Syria. A look at his response to other regional catastrophes shows his claim doesn’t begin to add up.

Trump, You Bombed Syria Because You Care. Now Get Rid of the Muslim Ban in Any Form.

The deserve better. (World Bank)

Both versions of that order, now held up in the courts, would have indefinitely banned all migration from Syria — and suspended refugee resettlement from everywhere.

No one wants to repeat the errors of the US under President George W. Bush; but to use those errors as an alibi to avoid confronting the world as it is would merely be an error of a different sort.

The Snare of Remote-Controlled War

September 10, 2014 | FlaglerLive | 45 Comments

Expanding the war to Syria is a grave error whose unintended consequences will add to 13 years’ worth of American setbacks in the Middle East.

Obama’s Mistake in Iraq: Getting Sucked Back Into a Religious War Already Lost

June 22, 2014 | FlaglerLive | 29 Comments

The United States had no business invading and occupying Iraq in 2003, it has no business now arbitrating a religious war between Sunnis and Shiites. The mayhem unleashed by the Bush administration is being made worse by further American meddling.
