Will the Middle East go up in flames this summer?


Friday, 04.25.2008, 12:50pm
These are dangerously unsettled times in the Middle East. There are so many bitter scores to settle, so much violent dissension, such implacable hatreds, that it would take only a spark to set the whole region alight. Or so it would seem. Many observers predict a hot and bloody summer.

The choice of non-violence: Our strategy for Palestine


Friday, 04.25.2008, 12:39pm
Sixty years after the Naqba, the catastrophe, Palestinians are still without a state. They are living under occupation, many are in refugee  camps, others are scattered around the world, and a part of the  Palestinian people are no more than second class citizens in Israel itself.

Petraeus points to war with Iran


Friday, 04.18.2008, 02:04pm
The neocons may yet get their war on Iran.  Ever since President Nouri al-Maliki ordered the attacks in Basra on the Mahdi Army, Gen. David Petraeus has been laying the predicate for U.S. air strikes on Iran and a wider war in the Middle East. Iran, Petraeus told the Senate Armed Services Committee, has "fueled the recent violence in a particularly damaging way through its lethal support of the special groups."

Time for Iraq's neighbors to show leadership


Friday, 04.18.2008, 02:02pm
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has once again set herself an impossible goal. This time, she is not attempting to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace — a task at which she has been spectacularly unsuccessful — but rather to improve the security of Iraq.

When Muslims need help


Friday, 04.18.2008, 02:00pm
So the marriage has broken up, and you're feeling down.  Or you're into a lot of self-defeating behavior. Or, or…. In any case, some kind of counseling seems to be in order.  If you are a Muslim, does that have any implications for the sort of help you should get?  David Hodge and Aneesah Nadir think that it might.  They tell why and how in an article in the January issue of the journal Social Work.  My copy just arrived, having been lost in the mail and sent to a wrong address.
