Demonstrations continue in Iran. I expect a bloody crackdown, and soon.

More evidence that the Obama health reform plan won't fundamentally change the situation.

What is the Obama effect? The creation of a perception of weakness, which will have consequences.

It seems the Arabs will not accept Israel as a Jewish State, nor will they give up their appetite for virulent anti-semitism. I expect the on-again, off-again war between Israelis and Arabs to continue for many years.
