Hope still lives among the Syrian people, 10 years after the war started

While many are vaguely aware of it, I'm not sure most people could tell you how or why the Syrian war started. Some likely assume the origin was about religion or ethnicity or maybe about territory or terrorism.

In some ways, it eventually became about all of that, but it started much more simply, when, against the backdrop of the Arab Spring, 15 boys were arrested in the nondescript border town of Dara'a after anti-regime graffiti was sprayed on a high school wall. They were imprisoned, and horrifically tortured, sparking the outrage of their small community and observant human rights activists.…  Seguir leyendo »

President Donald Trump's executive order for the extreme vetting of visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries is deeply troubling, and for all the reasons many have outlined. It's un-American to deny entry to the United States based on a person's religious or ethnic background, whether they are doctors, filmmakers, businessmen or tourists.

Tras dos años de conflicto en Siria, el presidente Obama finalmente decidió que es el momento de explicarlo al pueblo norteamericano durante el discurso que dará desde el Despacho Oval el martes. Sin embargo, desde el principio, la estrategia de Obama respecto a Siria, si alguna vez ha existido, ha sido confusa.

Años de titubeos, límites que no se respetan y el no poder convencer a nuestros aliados internacionales y al público norteamericano para comprometerse con el plan sin plan del presidente han dado como resultado, de manera no sorprendente, un Congreso confundido.

Del lado republicano, el Senador John McCain estaba en contra del plan del presidente de una intervención limitada; sin embargo, el miércoles cambió de opinión.…  Seguir leyendo »
