I have had the dubious pleasure of hearing you recently on CBC and have read your essay titled “Canada at war for 13 years” – and heartily agree with you on one point only: we certainly should do away with the term “terrorism.” Instead, we should use the term “islamofascism” or the phrase “islamist extremism” […]

These are portentous days in the global village. With Gaza, after fifty days of violence, at least temporarily on the back burner, the world’s attention is returning to Iraq. Having fiddled while Mosul burned, Barack Obama’s studied foreign policy passivity was shattered by TV scenes of tens of thousands of Yazidi sect members fleeing advancing […]

Before welcoming the emerging state of Kurdistan in northern Iraq, I confess to having opposed its independence in the past. In 1991, after the Gulf War had ended and as Saddam Hussein attacked Iraq’s 6 million Kurds, I made three arguments against American intervention on their behalf, arguments still commonly heard today: (1) independence for […]
