Did President Obama Really Destroy Al-Qaida: Algerian Hostage Crisis

We all remember during the US campaign when Governor Mitt Romney rightly accused President Obama of failing to protect American interests and Democrats of being very soft on national security. However, in discussing his foreign policy, President Obama was so proud and declared success in having eliminated the Jihadists or Al-Qaida. The President claimed victory for killing Osama bin Laden and his top 22 out of 30 Al-Qaeda leaders. Having killed Osama Bin Laden, President Obama and his peace loving liberals think our world is safe and that Al-Qaida no longer is Al- Qaida because the head has been eliminated.

Hudaybiyah and Gulen the Great Game: Gulen and the Current Peace Negotiations

I hope the Turkish government finally understands that peace cannot come by force, but rather that listening and talking can achieve it. The Turkish government chose direct talks with the Kurdish guerilla organization, the Kurdistan Worker’s Party, and in this choice have been backed by some of the social groups including the global Muslims missionary group’s leader Fethullah Gülen.

Is America on a Path to Implosion?

If serious, fundamental, and sweeping changes are not made soon, the American economy, perhaps even the American society, soon will collapse. What will America look like without an economically, militarily, and socially vibrant nation? What will the world look like without an American superpower?

Why Turkey is Paranoid about the Kurdish Role in the Middle East

Turkey ‘s real issue is not with Syrian President Assad’s killing his people or concerns about a lack of democracy in Syria. Rather, Turkey’s problem is with the Kurdish people. Actually, an authoritarian Assad was good for Turkey to oppress the Kurds and keep them silent, but Turkey realized that if it does not go against Assad, Western powers would get rid of Assad sooner or later.

Obama’s Second Term: Business as Usual

Again most Americans and many around the world thought Obama was an agent of change, a new hope for America as well as a hope around the world.

Plea for Peace: Israel and Hamas at War Again

The Middle East region is boiling, and innocent people on both sides are dying and on both sides are living in fear for their lives again. Israel has killed a top Hamas commander, Ahmad Jabari, the operational commander of Hamas’ armed wing, the Ezzedine Al- Qassam Brigades. The definition of war is an act of violence intended to compel an opponent to fulfill the rival nation’s will. Today the cause of this mess in the Middle East is regional global power. Turkey claims they are the best suited to be the leader of the Muslim world, and, therefore, they should lead the Middle East and Islamic world.

Hurricane Sandy Helps President Obama to Be Reelected

It’s for sure this year is going to be a tight election race in the US. President Obama is facing off against Republican Former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney on Tuesday. With a sluggish economic recovery and high unemployment, President Obama is defending his record while trying to tell the American people to give him time to implement his promises. Governor Romney, meanwhile, is arguing that President Obama’s wrongheaded economic policies are the main reason for America’s slow economic recovery, and trying to convince America that his own success in the private sector is a clear example that he has experience and ability to bring back the American economy and to reduce the unemployment.
