Gaza is Changing All of Us
The images from Gaza are painful beyond measure. (Hadi Daoud APA images) I scroll through news and photos and videos daily.

Call for Alarm
The unique post-World War II economic and military power of the United States prevented military and foreign policy errors from becoming overpowering disasters.
