Saving Israel From Itself

By John J. Mearsheimer

The United States and Israel fundamentally disagree about the need to establish a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel. - This is not a fight Obama is likely to win, even though the United States is more powerful than Israel and most Americans favor creating a Palestinian state and bringing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a close.

Will They Hate Us for the Secret Photographs?

By Jacob G. Hornberger

What are Obama and the Pentagon using as an excuse to keep these photographs secret? They're saying that foreigners will get angry if they see photographic evidence of bad things that U.S. officials have been doing to foreigners as part of U.S. foreign policy since 9/11. Isn't that an implicit admission that foreigners do get angry over the bad things that the U.S. government does as part of its foreign policy?
