  • Pakistan Under Global Scrutiny

    International reports of the last five years indicate that bad governance within Pakistan is gaining continuous attention of the watchdogs, lenders, and investigative media. The issue of governance in Pakistan has become a global concern where economic pressures, political strain and restriction of free expression started to meet. The HRW and Amnesty International reports allege […]

  • France: Forward Deterrence and Going Backwards

    To expand a stockpile of both the useless and the mindlessly murderous in a military sense would seem to be a wasteful exercise best contemplated in the psychiatric ward.

  • International Law Needs International Enforcement

    Donald Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East is but the latest indication that the system of international law―which provides guidelines for the behavior of nations in world affairs―is crumbling. In the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, after thousands of years of violent international conflict, efforts to establish global norms for nations in connection […]

  • It’s About Children and Education: Melania Trump at the UN Security Council

    Former British Conservative politician and current pundit Rory Stewart thought it might have been a case of artificial intelligence.  Many would have agreed.  The US First Lady, Melania Trump, had chanced upon a situation where she was chairing the UN Security Council.  It was the turn of the United States to assume the Presidency of the […]

  • The War on Iran—and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy

    The United States has once again launched a war in the Middle East based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. assault on Iran rests on allegations that international inspectors have already debunked. But beyond the false pretext lies an even more pressing question that […]

  • Loony Bin Rationales: The Continuing War on Iran

    Villainous lunacy is abundant these days as the bombing of Iran by Israel and the United States continues. The rationale for this illegal preemptive war that not only lacks legitimacy but should land its perpetrators in the docks of the International Criminal Court continues to get increasingly muddled.  With US President Donald Trump now given to […]

  • When Centering and Silencing Women No Longer Work

    The March 8, 2026, celebration of International Women’s Day feels loaded. A celebration born of the early twentieth-century women’s labor movement to bolster gender equality and reproductive rights while stopping violence and abuse against women feels hollow and in need of a massive resurgence, given current US politics. With the dissolution of women’s reproductive autonomy, […]

  • Is “Parallel Left” U.S. Media-Funding Puffin Foundation Also Funding J Street “Lobby” Group?

    Most U.S. Antiwar Movement organizers and U.S. Antiwar Movement supporters in the current decade are opposed to the U.S. power elite government’s bi-partisan policy of continuing to ship weapons to the genocidal Israeli war machine in 2026.

    Israel and the United States Cannot Win the War against Iran

    Mitra Tabrizian (Iran), Tehran, 2006. To the girls of the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan Province, Iran, who were killed by the illegal Israeli-US war of aggression. On 28 February, a few hours after negotiators said that Iran had accepted many of the demands regarding its nuclear programme, the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran. […]

  • Trying to Dig Deeper

    A huge problem, up there at the top of the list, is that the history of efforts over the last many centuries to create truly just and democratic societies, run by organized people, not oligarchs, has at best yielded mixed results since the Russian Revolution of 1917. These words were part of the first column […]
