Kicked By The Great White North
The health care win has given the President his mojo back at home, but things overseas are still looking grim. We are neglecting or quarreling with our friends and reaching out to our enemies — but neither policy is yielding … Continue reading

Faith Matters Sunday: Evangelicals and Politics 2010
I was on a Council on Foreign Relations conference call Friday with a group of religious leaders and scholars from around the country. The call was on the record; when it’s available I’ll provide a link for those of you … Continue reading

Does Money Buy Happiness? Gallup Checks It Out — Worldwide
Does money buy happiness? This is one of humanity’s most pressing questions, and for some time I’ve wanted to do an in-depth, long-term study to resolve this one way or the other. I think the empirical method is best, and … Continue reading

Settling Zion
The Obama administration seems to have significantly stepped up its demands on Israeli prime minister Benyamin Netanyahu. This at least is the takeaway from a story in Ha’aretz, a moderately dovish Israeli newspaper. The more conservative Jerusalem Post is basically … Continue reading

Peace in the Middle East? Not Yet
One of the most dangerous and most common mistakes people make about the Middle East is to believe that a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is just around the corner. This is an easy mistake to make; peace is such … Continue reading

The Shadows Grow
The blue social model posted a big win today as President Obama signed the Senate’s health care bill into law . I think it’s a bad bill that locks the United States more tightly into a medical system that is … Continue reading

Remembering Iraq
Seven years ago this week the first bombs were falling in Iraq and the war was breaking out, a war that caused untold suffering in Iraq, led to waves of anti-American feeling around the world, polarized politics in the United … Continue reading

Faith Matters Sunday: Errand To The World
This week I’ve been re-reading William R. Hutchison’s Errand to the World: American Protestant Thought and Foreign Missions. It’s a great book about a vital subject that too many people know nothing about.

Jet Lag and Blogging Don’t Mix
As some have noticed, blogging has been slow here at the stately Mead manor the last few days. I got in late yesterday from Lithuania, and today I somehow just didn’t have much to say. Tonight was also a culture … Continue reading

The Museum of the KGB
North Korea, the world’s only country-sized prison camp, has just executed Pak Nam Gi for the crime of ‘deliberately harming’ the country’s economy. I personally don’t think economic sabotage ought to be a capital crime, but if it is, the … Continue reading

Obama and the Jacksonian Zionists
Last week the Israelis handed the Obama administration an important advantage in the continuing struggle between the US and Israel over policy towards the Palestinians. By announcing a decision to move forward with 1600 housing units in East Jerusalem, the … Continue reading

The Israel Crisis
The war of words between the Obama administration and the Israeli government continues to heat up. “This was an affront, it was an insult, but most importantly, it undermined this very fragile effort to bring peace to that region,” White … Continue reading

Wanted: A Mainlinegelical Church
The fundamentalist-modernist split in American Protestantism is roughly one hundred years old. It has been an unmitigated disaster and the cost of this division is growing. The problem is not so much with fundamentalists and fundamentalist-aligned Pentecostals. These churches and … Continue reading

Literary Saturday: Beautiful Losers
I am leaving the paneled halls of the stately Mead manor today to spend a week giving lectures on American foreign policy in Lithuania. This is a kind of trip I’ve been making for the State Department since the Clinton … Continue reading

Is This Lobby Different From All Others?
The American relationship with Israel is both a political and an intellectual challenge for some students of foreign affairs. Convinced that US national interests would be best served by distancing ourselves from the Jewish state, scholars try to figure out … Continue reading
