Trump Moves to Decertify Iran; Iran SUDDENLY Open to Negotiating Missile Program

2016: Effective, Well Done, a Caveat or Two
Dinesh D’Souza’s film, 2016: Obama’s America, is very good at putting the viewer in the milieu of Jakarta or Nairobi, which continue to feel “different” enough to engage the American viewer’s sense of distance and wonder.

Obama on Syria: Low-Quality ‘Jaw-Jaw’
I’m skeptical that we have any intention of taking action against Syria – even punitive action, with no view to an outcome or end-state.
Most Pointless Peace Talks Ever?
If we should have learned anything since January 2011, it’s that Middle Eastern unrest is growing because of a good half a dozen really important things other than “Israel.”
