Land grabbing leads to imported aid, exported crop
In 2009, the World Food Programme imported humanitarian aid to about 5.9 million people in Sudan. The conflict-stricken nation is one of the organiz...
After Detroit Near-Attack, Is Afghan Strategy The Right One?
Why are we sending nearly every Marine and Soldier we have to Afghanistan, when Abdulmutallab and a Somali man arrested for plotting a similar attack last month apparently had no real connection to al-Qaeda in Afghanistan?
Peace On Earth
It's not going to happen here in the United States - peace - not in this coming year, not in my lifetime. I have to face the fact that no matter how m...
Good News for Blackwater Is Bad News for Industry
There will be no trial and thus the central issue, whether the Blackwater guards were innocent or guilty of killing unarmed civilians, will never be examined.
What Israel Can Teach the World About Airport Security
Over the years, I've spent many hours, more than I care to count, in airports around the world. From the perspective of security, one is in a class b...
End of Year, 2009
2009 was certainly not a year of triumphs for mankind nor human kindliness. The world economic crisis is neither diagnostically nor therapeutically on the way to a solution.
Gaza: Forsaken but Not Forgotten
More than a thousand activists from around 40 countries remained in Cairo after the Egyptian government declined them entry due to the "sensitive situation" in the Palestinian territory. When was it not a "sensitive situation" in Palestine?
Yemen, Somalia, and Al Qaeda
US military intervention in Yemen and Somalia may excite some Americans, but a multi-front war in Yemen and the Horn of Africa is unlikely to defeat Al Qaeda or provide a measurable return (in increased safety) on US investments of blood and treasure.

What We Don't Know on Contractors and Why We Don't Know It
It is an axiom of all government contracts, regardless of the industry, that when trying to calculate their overall effectiveness one must have up to...
Why A Mom Should Be Allowed to Be Buried with her Dead Soldier Son
Maybe there won't be enough burial plots if they grant the wish of every soldier's mom who wants to be buried with her dead child. If that's true then we're in worse trouble than we think.
My New Year's Resolution: No to Nicking Knickers
The continued bombardments of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Pakistan and Yemen are not giving us the peace and security we crave. In fact, the result is to the contrary.
CODEPINK's "Gaza Freedom" Mockery
CODEPINK's goals have nothing to do with actual Palestinian freedom. Whether CODEPINK is disrupting a Senate hearing or demonstrating in Cairo, its purpose is the same: to vilify American foreign policy.
No Stone Unturned
I went to Mrs. Mubarak's offices at the Women's International Peace Movement to ask for her help again in opening the border of Gaza for our delegation.
In Fact, We do Have A Counter-Terrorism Strategy -- And Experts Say It's Producing Results
One of the core elements of the Administration's strategy has been to go about the business of blocking violent extremists without giving them the gratification of talking about them in public all the time.
Remembering December 30, 2006
So much was happening that I understood none of it. The camera shook then swung upward. A man with a thick black mustache was being led to a platform.
Water Power
In covering personalities and events, Solomon suggests that societies that know how to take advantage of new ways of using water dominate their time, while those that fail to address water crises disintegrate.

Ranging from relatively detached wide shots of bombings taken by onboard cameras to startlingly graphic close-ups, "drone porn" has become a smash hit, tallying over 10 million views.
The Start of an Iranian Intifada
Such an uprising will mean continuous periods of strikes and civil disobedience, as well as more confrontations between members of the public and security forces.
The Israel/Gaza Face-Off in Los Angeles
Monday night, in remembrance of the one-year anniversary of Israel's Operation Cast Lead that killed 1,400 Gazans, and in solidarity with the 1,400 in...
