It is not out of place to find a politician who struggles to get a coherent message together against an opponent but the befuddlement of the campaign of Senator John McCain on how to develop a viable strategy against Senator Barack Obama is especially intriguing.
So it is with some astonishment that we observe the...

Now that Senator Barack Obama has had his turn in the merry-go-round called Fact Finding tours by United States Senators, it is time to address the expectations we have of how he will handle the Palestinian Question. Israel and the Palestinians have been at war for the most part of the past 30 years...

The International Relations community has focused its attention in recent times on the growing cost of food and its impact on developing nations and the devastating effect the rising cost of food will have on the world’s poor which is currently estimated to be over one billion people.

After spending a couple of months recovering from his abysmal showing during the Republican primaries for the nomination to vie for the presidency in this year’s general elections, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has come out of the woodwork making us wish he never came out.

It was actually shocking to read that Senator John McCain made an off-hand “joke” about the U.S. sending cigarettes to Iran to “kill” the Iranians. The logic of such a level of thinking is frightening, to say the least. It is not stretching it if we argue that for some reason yet unexplained to...

I have been hard pressed of late to understand the mind set of so-called religious leaders who dabble into politics. Who in the name of the God they claim to serve authorized them to prescribe policy or dole out advice on behalf of the rest of us – Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Agnostic, believer and...

Now that the three parties involved in the latest round of the Middle East crisis have shown us what they are made of, what is next? The recent Israeli “training manoeuvres, the U.S. exercises in the Persian Gulf, and now the Iranian testing of their longest-range missile seems to be setting the stage...
