by Rob Lonaker
Dear Israel,
My son Jeff, a U.S. Army soldier, is sworn to defend Israel against all its enemies. At least that’s how his commanding officers and the guys in his squad figure it, because America and Israel have exactly the same interests. Our countries are like one. Perfect allies!
Plus, like his mother and me, his whole platoon (...) -

For Mideast Regimes, U.S. Backing Means Absolute Power
by Fadi Elsalameen Global Research, February 5, 2011
America’s horses, Salam Fayyad and Mahmoud Abbas, I am sorry to say, have created an authoritarian police state that is actively suppressing people’s dissatisfaction with them.
A wave of popular uprisings in the Middle East is sending a clear message to those in power − and those who aspire to be in power − in the Arab world. Together with the release of several sets of leaked (...) -

2 February 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
1 comment(San Francisco) - Iran’s publicly avowed goal, stated world wide, is to go into the uranium fuel rod business, not build nuclear weapons.

But any change in the regional status quo would place the Middle East at a strategic crossroads that is not expected to be viewed tolerantly by the (...)
