“Unusually Good Forecast for Iran Nuclear Talks”—Christian Science Monitor, May 22

“‘Detailed,’ ‘Engaged’ Iran Nuclear Talks Go to Second Day”—Reuters, May 24

“Negotiations with Iran Conclude Fruitlessly”—New York Times, May 24

“Iran Blames World Powers’ ‘Enmity’ and ‘Dishonesty’ for No Progress in Moscow Nuclear Talks”—Associated Press, June 21

Ten years ago this summer, an Iranian dissident first warned the world about efforts by the mullahs to build a nuclear weapon. Since 2002, headlines have touted talks and possible inspections, with no results other than an Iran closer to a bomb. President Obama, who vows not to let Iran go nuclear, hopes economic sanctions will work, as 44 senators have urged him to drop the pretense of negotiations.

The case of Iran raises novel questions about how open societies should deal with risks from closed societies.

Iranian leaders have always claimed the right to build nuclear weapons and have been clear about their intent. In 2005, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an Iranian student group: “Many who are disappointed in the struggle between the Islamic world and the infidels have tried to spread the blame. They say it is not possible to have a world without the United States and Zionism. But you know this is a possible goal.”

Why not? According to the esteemed Bible scholar Rosie O’Donnell, it’s “just as dangerous as radical Islam.”

During last week’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing on “The Radicalization of Muslim-Americans,” Congressman Al Green (D-TX) took issue with the hearing’s focus on Islam and Muslims, asking the witnesses testifying before the Committee: “If you agree that radicalization exists within all religions to some extent, would you kindly extend a hand into the air.” Noting triumphantly that “all the hands are raised,” Green then asked: “Why not have a hearing on the radicalization of Christians?”

The immediate answer is obvious. On the one hand we have recent jihad plotters in the U.S., including Naser Abdo, the would-be second Fort Hood jihad mass murderer; Khalid Aldawsari, the would-be jihad mass murderer in Lubbock, Texas; Muhammad Hussain, the would-be jihad bomber in Baltimore; Mohamed Mohamud, the would-be jihad bomber in Portland; Nidal Hasan, the successful Fort Hood jihad mass-murderer; Faisal Shahzad, the would-be Times Square jihad mass-murderer; Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, the Arkansas military recruiting station jihad murderer; Naveed Haq, the jihad mass murderer at the Jewish Community Center in Seattle; Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar, the would-be jihad mass murderer in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh, who hatched a jihad plot to blow up a Manhattan synagogue; and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the would-be Christmas airplane jihad bomber.

All of them and many others invoked the Qur’an and Sunnah to explain and justify their deeds.

For the past three years, Governor Luis Fortuño has been the Caribbean’s Scott Walker — and like Walker, he’s under siege. When Fortuño began his term, Puerto Rico was an economic mess.

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/303856/twilight-unions-john-fund Los Angeles — Since 2008, we’ve seen the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Unlike 75 years ago, however, unions and the Left have this time largely failed to build a rigorous movement of economic populism to further their goals: Witness the now largely disbanded Occupy movement. Indeed, as members of the American […]

A top US lawmaker urged the United States “not to prejudge” the results of Egyptian elections after Islamists took the presidency of the Arab world’s most populous nation for the first time Sunday.

“Obviously, American concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood’s past statements and positions are widely shared and well understood,” Democratic Senator John Kerry said in a statement hailing the “historic” election.

“But it would be a mistake for us to pull back from our engagement with a free and democratic Egypt. This is a time to test intentions not to prejudge them.”

Talal Nimer El-Haj, a Muslim from Lebanon, is facing attempted murder charges after he broke in to the home of his estranged wife, shot her, his 20 year old daughter and his daughter’s 21-year-old boyfriend.

According to various news reports,

He was arrested Friday night in the backyard of the home at 2606 East F.M. 495 shortly after the shootings, said Mission Police Chief Martin Garza.

“We received a call regarding an unwanted subject at the residence,” Garza said. “Then we received a second call and heard shots had been fired. Responding officers found this individual trying to open a storage room in the backyard and arrested him. Inside the storage room, we found a rifle and a loaded semiautomatic handgun.”

The officers who entered the residence found Nimer’s daughter who had been shot in the neck, his wife who had been shot three times in the legs and the daughter’s boyfriend who had been shot in the arm, the chief said.

NATO ought not exist at all, and if it must exist, surely Turkey’s Islamist government — friend of Iran, financial backer of the Hamas terrorist organization, facilitator of operations against Israel — has no business being in it. Now, Turkey appears poised to exploit its NATO membership to force the Western intervention in Syria that the Muslim Brotherhood and allied Islamists have been calling for.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a Sunni Islamic supremacist with longstanding ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Sunni supremacist organization. The Brotherhood is leading the mujahideen (called the “opposition” or the “rebels” by the mainstream media) that seeks to oust the Assad regime in Syria — dominated by the Alawites, a minority Shiite sect. Unsurprisingly, then, Turkey’s government has taken a very active role in abetting the Brotherhood’s operations against the Syrian regime, which have also been joined by al-Qaeda and other Sunni militants.

On Friday, a Turkish air force jet entered Syrian air space, and Assad regime forces shot it down. Turkey claims the jet “mistakenly” cruised over Syria, and that, by the time it was taken down, it was in international air space over the Mediterranean. One need carry no brief for Assad to conclude that, given the interventionist drum-beat for no-fly zones and direct military and logistical aid to the “opposition,” Syria rationally took the presence of a Turkish military aircraft in its air space as a provocation. Turkey insists it was not “spying” — that this was just an accident to which Syria overreacted. That would be a good argument if the regime were not under siege and if the Syrian and Turkish governments had not been exchanging hostile words (mostly, threats from Erdogan) for months. That, of course, is not the case.
