Iran’s Meaningless Elections
By Alan Caruba Thursday, June 13, 2013
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, no doubt knows the outcome of Friday’s, June 14 elections. My money is on Saeed Jalili, Iran’s nuclear negotiator whose job it has been to talk the other negotiators into a stupor while work toward the creation of Iran’s nuclear weapons program continues.
Muslims Killing MuslimsBy Alan Caruba Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Don’t feel bad if you can’t tell a Sunni Muslim from a Shiite Muslim. It has been a source of confusion for many people outside the world of Islam. If Bret Stephens, a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for The Wall Street Journal is right, we are witnessing “The Muslim Civil War.”

The North Korean Nuclear Crisis: Lessons for the Iranian Case?By INSS Sunday, April 21, 2013

Anyone who remembers the Cuban missile crisis or has an accurate historical understanding of those events just over a half-century ago will recall the tense talk of World War III by the average American. Russian missiles in Cuba pitted a face-off between the United States and the Soviet Union. It resulted in a naval blockade of Cuba and several days of uncertainty as the world watched and waited to see who blinked first. Although the crisis ended without planetary destruction by nuclear bombs, people understood the seriousness of the events and that the world stood on the precipice of a third world war.

By INSS Friday, April 12, 2013
The Korean Peninsula is reaching the boiling point. On February 12, 2013, after a series of harsh verbal exchanges between North Korea and the international community, Pyongyang announced that it had conducted a third nuclear test. Some three and a half weeks following, the United Nations Security Council approved new sanctions against North Korea, and less than one week later the United States and South Korea undertook a joint military exercise.
Cyprus Looting & Socializing the Losses: The Global Banksters who redefined Theft into “Haircut”By Marinka Peschmann Friday, April 12, 2013

Just ask the folks in Cyprus.
“Haircut” in stock exchange slang means: “a percentage of the value of an asset deducted to account for possible fall in its value before it can be liquidated?” Translation: we can take your money that’s in our banks before you can get it. Ha! Ha! Suckers!
The Pyongyang-Tehran Proliferation PlaybookBy Claudia Rosett Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Clearly the dangers posed by North Korea reside not only in its arsenal, but in the precedents Pyongyang keeps setting for just how much a rogue regime can get away with in this era of receding American power. As North Korea hones its missile reach and nuclear abilities — while threatening to incinerate Seoul,Washington and U.S. bases in the Pacific — it appears the limits of such behavior have yet to be discovered. That spectacularly dangerous message is surely being read with interest by other anti-American regimes, especially by North Korea’s chief partner in proliferation, Iran.
The Torch Passes: Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)By Frank Gaffney Jr. Tuesday, April 9, 2013
The death of Margaret Thatcher marks the passing of a generation of leaders who literally remade their world. The former British prime minister was universally known as the “Iron Lady” for her steadfast commitment to anti-communist and free-market principles. Her passing is a loss to her people, to Americans – who knew in her time the full meaning of a “special relationship” between her country and ours, and to the Free World in which she was a truly heroic figure.
