No, Joe, Don't Roll out the Red Carpet for Torture Enablers It was painful enough to live through the U.S invasion of Iraq that caused untold devastation and human misery for no justifiable reason.

Ten Foreign Policy Fiascos Biden Can Fix on Day One Donald Trump loves executive orders as a tool of dictatorial power, avoiding the need to work through Congress. But that works both ways, making it relatively easy for President Biden to reverse many of Trump's most disastrous decisions.

Will the Biden Team Be Warmongers Or Peacemakers? During his election campaign, Biden has relied on foreign policy advisors from past administrations, particularly the Obama administration, and seems to be considering some of them for top cabinet posts.

How Biden Flubbed Town Hall Foreign Policy Question This was a fantastic opportunity for Biden to clarify the reality of Trump's abysmal record and explain what he would do instead. But he didn't. Instead he endorsed some of the most deceptive elements of Trump's propaganda, dropped some clangers of his own and, in a classic Freudian slip, laid bare his own enduring commitment to American imperialism.
