Trump should follow his desire to leave Syria but not before using the pull out as leverage to resolve some other Mid-East crisis. He should also open up the USA to Syrian refugees and develop green energy as part of a grand strategy in the ME.

This paper includes some perhaps off-beat lenses through which to view the crisis, including Islamist, feminist, Marxist, post-Structuralist--and is an attempt to understand, not a definitive statement.

Will Jordan's Palestinian majority rise up and claim Jordan for the Palestinian state or continue to allow the monarchy? Are the Islamists who are increasingly represented in the government waiting for an opportunity? Some possibilities are presented.

From the 1800s to the present day modern life has confused, frustrated and angered Arabs, who cherish a strong tradition and see modernity as the enemy of that tradition.

They appear to believe that there is no such thing as a simple disagreement anymore--everything is a turbocharged matter of extreme moral importance. Sad.

In this paper I argue that a strange passage in a rambling answer to a question posed to him at the Helsinki press conference provides the clue. If I am correct, the world should be terrified.

Most read that line as a plea for non-proliferation, for dismantlement. But that doesn't sound like Trump.
Their plan: to dominate the world through hard power. The combined forces of Russia and USA cannot be defeated. The world is theirs.
