  • Obama's Evolving Foreign Policy

    July 1, 2008

    He's no George W. Bush, but will Obama's foreign policy bring us back to the days of the bipartisan, establishment consensus?

  • Letter From Iran

    May 1, 2008

    Iranians' attitudes toward Ahmadinejad range from sullen tolerance to bitter hostility.

  • Shirin Ebadi: Don't Attack Iran

    April 29, 2008

    The Nobel Prize-winning activist says US threats, regime-change rhetoric and efforts to promote democracy only give Iran's leaders an excuse to intensify repression.

  • The Lessons of Basra

    March 31, 2008

    The latest round of Iraq's Shiite vs. Shiite civil war was to have been Bush's defining moment. The result: utter humiliation for the US and the Iraqi government.

  • Hothead McCain

    March 6, 2008

    The GOP nominee favors unilateralism and "rogue state rollback."

  • Is Iran Winning the Iraq War?

    February 21, 2008

    Maybe. But Iraqis mistrust Iran as much as they do the United States.

  • Nationalists Stirring in Iraq

    January 16, 2008

    An emerging Sunni-Shiite coalition could change the face of Iraq--if the United States steps back and gets out of the way.

2007

  • Iraq: The Other Surge

    October 11, 2007

    Across the political spectrum in Iraq, a nationalistic bloc is emerging to challenge the Kurdish and Shiite separatists who have held sway under US tutelage.

  • The GOP's Iraq Problem

    September 20, 2007

    Iraq has become a liability the GOP can hardly afford.

  • Surge Mentality: White House in Denial

    July 13, 2007

    A White House report that claims the surge is working only throws fuel on the fire among both parties in Congress to push for withdrawal.

    June 27, 2007

    Dire predictions aside, it's not too late for a unified, nationalist Iraq to emerge from the rubble.

  • Feith-Libby Lies Exposed

    February 12, 2007

2006

  • The Consequences of Killing Saddam

    December 31, 2006

    More violence, waning chances for reconciliation and a trove of secrets taken to the grave.

  • The Iraq Study Group: A Fatal Flaw

    December 7, 2006

    The Iraq Study Group report is a stunning rebuke of Bush's Iraq policy. But its central premise--that the US can support the nonexistent Iraqi government and bolster its viciously sectarian armed forces--is fatally flawed.

  • Getting Out

    November 30, 2006 Subscribe

    The foreign policy establishment knows the Iraq War is lost, but the search for an acceptable exit strategy has only just begun.

  • Beginning of the End

    November 7, 2006

    The Iraq Study Group report comes too late for the 600,000 people who died in carnage that is likely to worsen. It won't satisfy the antiwar movement because it sets no timetable for withdrawal. But it does mark the beginning of the end of America's criminal war of aggression.
