The Old West was awash in guns, but actual gun violence was rare.

After nearly 20 years, with about 2,400 American troops killed, 20,000 wounded, and $2 trillion, our counterinsurgency strategy failed.

Indeed, there is nothing democratic about Cuba.

I believe the solution lies in two secure and viable states, sharing Jerusalem.

The most vocal advocates on either side of the divide articulate mutually exclusive views.

Many Republican members of the legislative branch are acting as if their job is to protect the leader of the executive branch.

Israel’s Arab minority does not enjoy the same socioeconomic opportunities or civic equality with the Jewish majority.
