The Shia Turn in U.S. Policy

(Published: 2005-04-01 07:44 AM)
The first quarter of 2005 has seen increasingly dramatic news from the Middle East, but equally significant developments, relevant to the future of Islam and the whole world, continue to emerge in Washington. When the United States took leadership of the Iraq intervention in 2003, few Beltway insiders grasped the immense importance of liberating an Arab country, with a Shia Muslim majority, that included in its territory the holy sites of the Shia sect, Kerbala and Najaf.

That Bleeding Heart Wolfowitz

(Published: 2005-03-24 10:52 PM)
Probably a lot of the misunderstanding begins with the word "neoconservative" itself. This was originally a teasing term, coined by Michael Harrington to embarrass his former leftist friends. (Harrington was the moral and political leader of the Democratic Socialists of America: a force that it would not be too rude or crude to describe as a part of "actually non-existing socialism.") Harrington mostly failed in his campaign to change the world, whereas the worst enemy of the neocons would have to say that they have succeeded somewhat in theirs. When the left hears the term "regime change," and responds with anxious whimpers about "destabilization," do we not detect a hint of what Marxists call negation? Who are the radicals here?

A beacon is lit in Iraq. But not in your names, Robin, Douglas and the BBC

(Published: 2005-02-02 06:18 AM)
The September 11 attack underlined, in the most terrible fashion, the consequences of our not-so-benign neglect of the Middle East and the wider Islamic world. From Morocco to Iran a huge swath of humanity was sunk in oppression, denied not just democracy but freedom of speech, property rights, freedom of association, freedom from fear and freedom to hope.
