Despite his leadership and sensible decision-making, I support Lincoln Chafee for another reason -- for his brave and correct view on same sex marriage equality in Rhode Island.
For some people, the assent of the Obama Doctrine will be uncomfortable: it's designed for a world rendered in shades of gray, not the black and white of easy demagoguery. Nevertheless, subtle should not be confused with weak.
Let there be no mistake, with unfree elections coming in April and a referendum on the independence of the South the following January, Sudan is at di...
Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon, and there is little, to nothing, we can do to stop Tehran from realizing this ambition.
I get pretty irritated hearing false cries of anti-Semitism against anyone who criticizes Israel, its human rights crimes, or its settler movement.
It may surprise many readers to hear that anti-Americanism represents one of the cardinal principles of current Russian domestic policy. Obama, however, is doing his best to change that.
President Obama's rhetoric in his Nobel acceptance speech was as powerful as ever. Obama pointed to the importance of striving for peace, and attempted to justify US involvement in Afghanistan.
I would like to remind our American friends that the burden of leadership extends to decisions about peace. I have four words for President Obama and the American people: Please, don't forget Bosnia.
If Iran offers to swap its low-enriched uranium for higher grade uranium, does the US have the right to dismiss it because it doesn't meet our conditions?

May you live in interesting times. This reportedly ancient Chinese curse certainly applies to members of President Obama's foreign policy team. Comp...
Hillary is sometimes characterized as a liberal hawk, an interventionist, a person who clings a little too tightly to rhetoric of "coersive diplomacy." But last night I heard a different Secretary of State.
For our part, it is time to shift America's focus away from a power that peddles so many deadly weapons to one that fosters economic growth, entrepreneurial ventures and positive creativity.
China's long-term America strategy has always been to benefit economically from us and wait patiently while we run ourselves ragged in a costly ongoing war and milk ourselves dry.
While costs will not dictate how we pay for the Obama surge in Afghanistan, they will be a subject of strong debate in the Congress.
The decision by President Obama to send additional troops to Afghanistan saddens me. I believe it is a mistake, it is the wrong direction for U.S. for...
Biden deserves significant credit for key parts of the president's plan. According to a senior White House source, the vice president believes that the president's review has produced a sound strategy.
