Afghanstan - A Plan to Win Our enemy is not a race, a tribe, or a nation. The fight is against a distorted ideology based on a flawed interpretation of the reasons behind the demise of Islam as a political power and Muslims' role in the world.

Tough talk unites moderates and hard-liners against U.S. We must question the added value of injecting ourselves in the election dispute, against the potential harm to the brave men and women battling government militias in Tehran's streets.

Electronic health records are wrong prescription for automation The Obama plan to spend $19.2 billion on electronic medical records as the sole path to achieve health care automation is the equivalent of Kennedy dictating to NASA the specifications of the rocket to the moon.

Jobs and the blame game Is it possible to maintain American standard of living, while losing jobs or creating the wrong ones? Why America is losing jobs even during economic expansions like the one we had in the nineties?

Bye Bye GOP! As I listen to the same tried and failed proposals, argued by conservative leaders I ponder a simple question. What is the future of the Republican Party in our country?

Gaza, the questions and answers Now, is the time for Jewish Americans to put pressure on the American government to help Israel make the tough choices, and now is the time for Arab Americans to work with their Jewish counterparts to help solve the Middle East crisis through honest dialogue.

Reprogramming us! The American people and the world spent the last eight years in a binary universe, imposed by our own government. The mantra of the era expressed simply and not so elegantly by our current president "You are with us, or against us."

Guns, Religion, and Carrots Although it might sound unreasonable to demand from the western world during these tough economic times to feed the hungry, cure the sick, and create jobs for the unemployed as a way to fight terrorism.

Imagine! Now, it is your turn to prove to Pat that the world can be a safer place, to Kevin that his sacrifices of seventy-two years are not in vain, to Mona that the will of the people are stronger than all the special interests in the world, and to Tim and Lisa that they can earn a decent living and raise a family in their homeland.

Will the dissatisfaction of the American electorate bring about a government that is capable of understanding the job at hand and addressing the complexity of the new world order?

Independent or Flip-Flopper The same critics that discovered Obama's secret liberal identity during the primary, now are certain that he belongs to the gang of unprincipled politicians willing to promise anything until elected.

To talk or not to talk To talk or not to talk, to hear but refuse to listen, to see but ignore the facts is not a Shakespearian quote from the fifteenths century but a style of governing.
