Preempt Iran -- At All Costs!
A pre-emptive attack against Iran would exert
non-lethal and short-term cost, but would boost Israel's long-term
strategic image. It would also provide a tailwind for the opposition to
the ayatollahs' regime. Will Israel embrace the legacy of Ben-Gurion and
Begin, or that of their opponents?

Settlements Freeze - an Obstacle to Peace!
Abu Mazen's September 23, 2011 UN speech and the Palestinian
Authority's education system reaffirm the fact that Jewish settlements
within pre-1967 Israel - and not in Judea and Samaria (J&S) - are
the root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

A Return to Andalusia
The collapse of Israeli-Palestinian agreements from the 1993 Oslo
Accords until today stems from the fact that both Israeli and US leaders
ignore the real root of the conflict. The heart of the conflict is the
denial of the existence - and not the size - of any non-Muslim entity on
land that, in the eyes of Muslims, is Waqf - an inalienable religious
land endowment.

Good, Bad and Ugly anti-Semites
Good anti-Semites express freely their prejudicial feelings
toward Jews. I admire people who have an opinion and openly express it,
regardless of their political inclinations. I welcome and respect any
opinion, even if it is based on lack of factual knowledge. When an
opinion is expressed it is opened for discussion. Discussions facilitate
growth and change for the better.

Quimby's Green Folly
It is unfortunate that Maine's elected representatives are not speaking
out on the issue of the Quimby proposal for a national park in Northern
Maine. Considering how much they claim to work for the "people of Maine"
the lack of action on this issue speaks volumes.

The 2012 Intra-Muslim Predicament
Intra-Muslim violence is gleaned through entrenched hate-education
and Islam's attitude toward apostates. According to Prof. Bernard Lewis,
the world's leading authority on Islam, "Apostasy was a crime as well
as a sin, and the apostate was damned both in this world and the next.
His crime was treason - desertion and betrayal of the community....

Why is Israel the first priority?
The war in central Africa claimed almost 3 million victims during the

priority of US, EU and UN. All eyes are on Israel. I am still puzzled

Don't Underestimate Congress
The November, 2012 election to all 435 House seats and 33 Senate

President to operate in a system which features the strongest
legislature in the world, equal in power to the President, the most
authentic representative of the American constituent and a systematic
supporter of the Jewish State.

Root Causes of Anti-US Islamic Terrorism
A spike has recently occurred in Muslim-American terrorism in the
USA. For example, on January 9, 2012, a US-naturalized Kosovar Muslim
terrorist was arrested in Florida, while plotting to bomb night clubs in
Tampa - a hotbed of Muslim Brotherhood activities and organizations. In
December, 2011, the DEA arrested 30 Tampa used-car dealers involved in a
Hezbollah drug money laundering. Tampa is the home base of the US
Central Command, located at nearby MacDill Air Force Base.

Tawana Brawley Goes to Colombia: Jakadrien Turner wasn't "Mistakenly" Deported!
Jakadrien Turner ran away from home in November, 2010. Given her
mother's attitudes, it probably wasn't much of a home, in the first
place. When the daughter was caught shoplifting, she gave a false name,
which turned out to be the name of a fugitive wanted by the Colombian
police. So, she was turned over to ICE, and appointed a lawyer, at
(overwhelmingly white) taxpayers' expense.

Demographic Misrepresentations - a Palestinian Civil Intifada
Thus, the erroneous PCBS numbers - which have yet to be audited by

The 2012 Arab Street-Driven Security Requirements
The 2012 Arab
Street will not highlight the Arab Ghandis, Mandelas and MLKs; it will
be dominated by the trans-national Muslim Brotherhood, which embraces
Muhammad-style Islam as the sole-tolerated religious, political, social,
military and moral compass. The Muslim Brotherhood aims to dominate the
Abode of Islam, as a prelude to the physical subjugation of the
morally-inferior Abode of the Infidel.

Notwithstanding Abu Mazen's moderate demeanor, the televised session
with Amna Muna, and other Palestinian terrorists, was consistent with
Abu Mazen's own K-12 hate-education system, which heralds terrorism, in
general, and suicide bombing, in particular.

The Real Mid-East VS the New Mid-East
The New Mid-East delusion traumatizes contemporary Arab regimes. They
witness its impact on Western policy-makers, who approach the stormy
Arab Winter as if it were an Arab Spring, seeing the resurrection of
Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Lech Walesa in the
merciless Arab squares and streets. Therefore, the West has provided
tailwind to the replacement of pro-Western ruthless dictators with
anti-Western ruthless dictators, rendering Arab regimes increasingly
concerned about Western reliability and their own survivability.

The Iranian Nuclear Maze
The assumptions that tougher sanctions could deny Iran nuclear capabilities, could pacify Iran's nuclear programs, and could produce a regime change in Teheran, defy reality. These assumptions and the suppositions that Mutually-Assured-Deterrence (MAD) would enable the Free World to co-exist with a nuclear Iran, and that the cost of a military preemption would be prohibitive, reflect a determination to learn from recent history by repeating - and not by avoiding - critical errors; a victory of delusion over realism.

Societies that are supposed to constitute nations are dismantling into tribes, sects and conflicting doctrines....

"Question 1": Maine's Marriage Documentary Review
A prophetic moment is offered by Emrich toward the end of the film where he states off-camera that the results of this vote to affirm traditional marriage will move Maine to be more conservative in the upcoming few years. Just a year after he said that, Maine voted to change control of its House and Senate and Governor from Democrats to Republicans for the first time in decades.

US Military Aid to Egypt - Counterproductive
The $40BN in U.S. military aid to Egypt ($1.3BN in 2012) is framed as an investment in regional stability, supposedly advancing pro-US policies, allegedly constraining anti-US elements, promoting regional peace and democracy and ostensibly reducing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. However, reality demonstrates that US military aid to Egypt has been devastatingly counterproductive, with potential devastation yet to occur.

The split personality of US Administrations radicalizes Arab positions, undermines US and Israeli national security, and impairs US-Israel relations.

Evaluating the Yahoo Effect in American Politics
And why are Americans so defiantly and stubbornly complacent about their own ignorance? How did we become so insular and oblivious to the momentous political events taking place in the world around us? We could quote Thomas Gray, who said, "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." But I think there's a more persuasive explanation: our educational system, possibly the worst (and certainly the most expensive) in the industrialized world.

US-Israel Ties: Conventional Wisdom Challenged
For example, conventional wisdom assumes that the recent turmoil, on the Arab Street, has deteriorated Israel's geo-strategic standing. However, the New Middle East Disorder threatens the survival - and exposes the tenuous nature and reliability - of every Arab regime. It underscores Israel's unique stability, credibility, capability and unconditional alliance with the US. Israel's added-value to the US is further enhanced by the pending US evacuation of Iraq and Afghanistan, which will shorten Washington's strategic arm, possibly triggering an eruption of additional regional volcanoes.
