Iranian Dissidents Can’t Count on the UN

Last year, the crisis of the 3,300 Iranian dissidents who have made a home at Camp Ashraf in Iraq for decades exploded when Iraqi militants massacred 47 of them in two separate, brutal attacks. Those killings, the product of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s cozy relationship with the terrorist regime in Tehran, appear to have just been a warmup to Iraq’s latest plans for the dissidents.

On personality basis, both the individuals would be amazing, though leadership characteristics and particularly for America in its present critical situation with threats from across the globe would require extra-ordinariness to lead the nation and to sensitively balance the global status. The dream is for restoration of the American faith in the system that forces the common man to bear the brunt of poverty at the pleasure…

What’s the Best Way to Deal With Iran Right Now?

Obviously, economic and financial sanctions are not having a very immediate effect on Iran’s decision to give up its nuclear weapons manufacturing process. Does this surprise anyone, “not I,” said me at a recent think tank discussion. Whereas, many academic intellectuals believe this is the proper way forward, I say that’s just pure “rubbish, it’s poppycock” if you ask me.

Arab Spring – But Was It Really Worth It?

Okay so, I guess it goes without saying that think tanks talk about global politics, world events, international relations, and world-trade.
