WINDS OF CHANGE

The last fourteen months since Hamas attacked Israel have fundamentally reshaped the Mideast in ways that very few observers might have guessed.  Today, the terrorist group Hamas is leaderless, as is the terrorist group Hezbollah.  Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who so ruthlessly murdered men, women and children (25,857 children, and 15,761 women as of March 2022) in the Syrian Civil War has fled to Russia to save his own life.  Islamic terrorists in Yemen are reeling under the blows of American, British and Israeli attacks in defense...

Iran issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) OIIX TEHERAN (ACC/FIC/FIR) early this Monday morning.

CAN WE AVOID WAR?

The United States is being drawn to the brink of war.  We didn’t plan this. Perhaps didn’t even predict it. We didn’t over react to the situation in Ukraine.  Russia invaded that European country and someone had to take a stand and show some leadership along with the UK and other NATO allies.  If not us, then who?

A TWO-STATE SOLUTION FOR THE LEVANT

As everyone knows by now, there is a war in Israel, and now the bitter fruits of that horrific attack by Hamas are coming home to Gaza to roost.  This should be no surprize and as recently as two weeks ago I mentioned the potential violence in the mideast in an earlier post, though like others I had no idea of how large the size and scope of the violence would be. On a high holy day, Yom Ha-Kippurim, which commemorates the...
