“The Coronavirus Pandemic Will Forever Alter the World Order”

by Henry Kissinger

New York (USA) | 4 April 2020

The surreal atmosphere of the
Covid-19 pandemic calls to
mind how I felt as a young
man in the 84th Infantry Division
during the Battle of the Bulge. Now,
as in late 1944, there is a sense of
inchoate danger, aimed not at any
particular person, but striking randomly
and with devastation. But (...)

The facts about America’s prison system are startling. The U.S. has 4% of the world’s population, but roughly 25% of the world’s prisoners.

Stop Assad Now—Or Expect Years of War

by John McCain

New York (USA) | 5 October 2016

‘They make a desert and call it peace,” wrote the Roman historian Tacitus, quoting an enemy of Rome about its brutal conquests. The same could be said today of Bashar Assad and his ally Russian President Vladimir Putin in Syria.

A Path Out of the Middle East Collapse

by Henry Kissinger

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 17 October 2015

by Tom Malinowski

18 May 2014

Behind Putin’s Cynicism and Hypocrisy
The Kremlin’s ruler wants to extend to neighboring countries the tyranny he imposes on his own people.

Damascus (Syria) | 31 January 2011

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who inherited a regime that has held power for four decades, said he will push for more political reforms in his country, in a sign of how Egypt’s violent revolt is forcing leaders across the region to rethink their approaches.

“Bonfire of Pieties”

by Amir Taheri

1 March 2006

The media made news with the headlines about the rallies caused by the publication of cartoons featuring the prophet Mohammed. But, do these rallies represent the Muslim world?

“Lighten up, fellow Muslims”

by Irshad Manji

1 March 2006

In the world economic forum held in January, I noticed something revealing.

Among those who laughed, there was a figure from the British Muslim community who (...)

“Munich”

by Bret Stephens

24 January 2006

Steven Spielberg has assured that his film Munich is not an attack on Israel. So why is his movie raising such hackles among pro-Israelis? Maybe it has something to do with Steven Spielberg’s choice of the screenwriter Tony Kushner. Kushner is an author who is against the existence of Israel. (...)

“Right Islam versus wrong Islam”

by Abdurrahman Wahid

by Paul Gigot

13 January 2006

What a show this week during Condoleezza Rice’s trip to Europe seeing people outraged because of the fact that the CIA might have been able to lock terrorists in European jails! If the Secretary of State had not been diplomatic, she would have cancelled her trip categorically and announced that (...)

“Our Troops Must Stay”

by Joseph I. Lieberman

12 January 2006

I’ve just returned from my fourth trip to Iraq in the last 17 months and I have verified the progress achieved in that country, progress that has nothing to do with the model made by Sadaam Hussein’s dictatorship. Progress is even noticed in the Sunni triangle. Life is better in Iraq and there’s (...)
