Will Bush's Exit Bring Peace Between the U.S. and Iran?new
Improvement is a reasonable expectation. Short of all-out war, relations with Iran can't get much worse. But don't expect Obama and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be sharing kabobs and O'Doul's at the White House anytime soon.

Has the Bush Administration Done Enough to Protect Us from Nukes?new
A recent report by the bipartisan Partnership for a Secure America gave the Bush Administration a C for its overall efforts against nuclear terrorism. Reading the report, it's hard not to get the impression that C was a generous grade.

Is the North Korea Nuclear Deal Unraveling?new
Last week, North Korea evicted international nuclear inspectors from its Yongbyon nuclear facility and removed the seals from its nuclear fuel processing equipment. And when I say seals, I don't mean seals in the adorable sea creature sense.

Why Was Thailand's Prime Minister Ousted?new
Thailand is at a precipice. Elections have repeatedly proven Thaksin, Samak and their party are the most popular in the country. Yet the military, and a powerful urban minority party, are determined to keep them out of the government.

What's Next for the US and Pakistan Now That Musharraf is Gone?new
Seven years of backing Musharraf's military dictatorship turned Pakistan into the biggest threat to world peace today. No exaggeration. What's our plan now that the Perv is hitting the links? I'm not sure yet.

Why is Afghanistan Suddenly in the News Again?new
Egged on by the Democratic nominee, the president and the Republican candidate trying to succeed him are finally acknowledging that Afghanistan needs more U.S. troops if the Taliban is to be redefeated.

What's Going On in Zimbabwe?new

What is a Status of Forces Agreement?new
With its proposed SOFA, the U.S. is essentially proposing Iraq officially sign away its sovereignty.

Damned if they're going to sign an agreement that turns their entire country into Fort Bragg East.
