Iran: Battlefront in the new World War? This article speculates upon this administration's reasons for starting a hugely reckless war with Iran. In light of the obvious sacrifices of such a campaign,the White House must see extraordinary gains at hand. I argue that our Machiavellian executive branch sees Iran as a swipe at emergent global powers Russia and China- thus Iran is no third front in the War on Terror, but a front in a new Cold War of the 21st century.

Drilling ourselves deep in a hole The Bush administration's recent call to expand drilling for oil in Alaska and off the coast is inane. It is a vain effort to lower the cost of gas- and minimally at that- and sacrifice sensitive ecosystems at that. But it is also a reckless measure, in that it further entrenches our oil addiction, while so many nations around the globe are already busy preparing for alternative energy sources- and the future.

Obama's surge in Berlin Obama's amazing reception in Europe signifies what most Americans, I believe, do not recognize: that Europe- and the world- still adores the US, despite the egregious faults committed by the Bush administration. But Obama's reception also signifies that Europe craves the US as global leader- but one that truly stands for civil rights, democracy and rule of law, in the face of ascending China and Russia.
