In 2005 we heard that Iran was still at least five years away from having the ability to produce a nuclear weapon. That puts us a Year away from this date. Iran was basically put on the back burner as other issues took prominence. Issues, that have not yet been resolved.Now we are hearing disparate projections on when Iran will have the ability to produce a nuclear weapon. Some say as soon as 6

A series of blasts on Tuesday in an abandoned building near Lebanon's tense border with Israel was sparked by a fire in a Hizbullah weapons depot, a Lebanese security official said.When this was initially reported the debate was whether the weapons had been placed there during or after the war in 2006. That debate is moot. Whether they were there before or after on determines how wide the blame

The defeated conservative candidate in Iran's disputed presidential election, Mohsen Rezaei, on Sunday accused the United States and Israel of plotting against Teheran.I would say that this guy is a little slow on the uptake. Of course America and Israel are plotting against Teheran. Probably more Israel than America but there's nothing new in this statement. The present American administration

There appears to be a squabble between Melanie Phillips and Alan Dershowitz. Mr. Dershowitz had a piece appear in the Washingtomn Post. Ms. Phillips responded with a rebuttal of Mr. Dershowitz. Mr.. Dershowitz is now in defense mode and has penned another piece. This is quite the enjoying tit-for-tat.Mr. Dershowitz has stated:Phillips, for all her good work in Great Britain on behalf of Israel,

Evil is currently on the rise. The reason for its ascendance is apathy and cowardice amongst the "good". Good people sit on the sidelines watching evil takeover neighborhoods, cities, states and countries. I guess I should rephrase. If a person allows evil to take over then they can't really be labelled "good people". In truth, they are cowards and enablers.Read the following articles and then

Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Saturday announced that Teheran was preparing a new package of "political, security and international" issues to put to the West, and downplayed the criticism of Iran by world leaders at the G8 summit.Isn't that just swell. The Iranians have a "new package of issues". The first thing that comes to mind is So What!? Do murderers get to pick what their

"We're not going to just wait indefinitely and allow for the development of a nuclear weapon... and wake up one day and find ourselves in a much worse situation and unable to act," Obama said at the close of the G8 summit concluded in Italy.And what are you going to do Barack Obama? Sanctions have yet to work. What kind of added sanctions can you place on Iran and how will you enforce them?

There is a saying that goes: "Plan for the worst and hope for the best". It is something that both the West and Israel should be doing right now. Instead, they are trying to convince themselves that Iran thinks in Western Rational way. (Though presently that term could be deemed oxymoronic).According to these Israeli assessments, there is not much difference now between the US and Israel

A unilateral attack by Israel against Iran to thwart the Islamic republic's nuclear ambitions would be an "absolute catastrophe", French President Nicolas Sarkozy was quoted by AFP as saying on Thursday.Just who would this be a catastrophe for? It would definitely be one for Iran and it's nuclear ambitions. It would be one for Momo and the Ayatollah. It would be one for Bashir Assad and Syria. In

If providing money, arms, and training wasn't enough, we are now bringing the enemy to America.The US State Department confirmed Tuesday that as many as 1,350 Iraqi Palestinians - once well-treated guests of Saddam Hussein and now estranged from Iraqi society - will be resettled in the US, mostly in southern California, starting this fall, the Christian Science Monitor reported.So they lived

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak did not (know) what he was talking about when he said captured IDF soldier Gilad Schalit was alive and well, a top Hamas official announced Wednesday, in rare public criticism of the Egyptian leader.The truth must be faced no matter how hurtful it may be. There has been no proof of life for Gilad Schalit since he was kidnapped. No pictures, letters, or any other

"My understanding of what Biden said is that the second part is the interesting part - not that Israel is sovereign to act, but that he said the United States acts differently.

"I believe Iran is very focused on developing this capability, and I think when they get it, or should they get it, it will be very destabilizing," chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm Mike Mullen told the Center for Strategic and International Studies Tuesday, in an address on military challenges in the Middle East sponsored in connection with the embassy of the United Arab Emirates.What

Defense Minister Ehud Barak met Middle East envoy George Mitchell for the second time in a week on Monday, and promised that Israel would evacuate 23 illegal outposts in the West Bank in a matter of weeks or months, as opposed to years, Army Radio reported.This is more proof that hope is not a strategy.

The case that the Palestinian Liberation Organization could be considered a moderate organization has been flawed since the term was first used. Whether it was Yassir Arafat or the timid Mahmoud Abbas, the organization itself has been an umbrella for anti-Semitic and anti-western hatred.Give the PLO what it wants and it suddenly wants more. The PLO is a black hole that destroys everything around

Barack Obama has let it be known since his campaign that he intended on getting the world to like America again. I never really figured out what that meant or why it mattered but it was a statement, along with the ambiguous hope and change, that he ran his entire campaign on.Their appears to be no evil despot that Barack Obama's administration won't talk with. Despite proof of the opposite, he

One of the constants during my lifetime has been the Israeli-"palestinian" conflict. The "palestinians" attack Israel, Israel responds, then the "world" screams for peace. Israel sits down to negotiations with the "palestinians", Israel agrees to peace, then the "palestinians" commence attacks blaming Israel.This cycle has played out at least a dozen times. Yet no one ever learns. Every

The problem with naive leftists is they approach everything from a perception of hope. Barack Obama constantly clamored about hope and change in the US Presidential campaign. Those of us who have to deal with reality on a day to day basis realized a long time ago that hope is not a strategy. Hope is only uttered when everything else has fails. Hope never replaces truth and fact. Sadly, this is

After Iran's Guardian Council acquiesced to popular demands and conducted a recount of the contested June 12 vote which left incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power, announcing Tuesday that the election case was closed, opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi said he considered Iran's cleric-led government "illegitimate," and former president Mohammad Khatami lashed out at the regime for a

American lives and treasure have been spent on re-building Iraq. Other nations have joined in a supported this effort, yet America has taken the brunt of the criticism, therefore to those other nations do not take this as an affront to your efforts.

It has been stated that recent overtures to engage Syria and Iran in the diplomatic process have to do with securing Iraq once American troops start to withdraw. Being a student of history, I am confused as to how this would be considered a good thing. Syria and Iran are presently involved in both Lebanon, with Hizbullah, and in the Gaza Strip with Hamas. Why would America want them involved in "
