Important New Alliances Forming in the Mideast

Some two decades ago, I was invited to be the keynote speaker at a major Islamic conference. Instead of uttering the usual platitudes about Muslim unity, I rebuked the Muslim World for doing nothing to prevent the massacre of Bosnians by Serb forces and the mass rape of Bosnian Muslim women. The only Muslim nations who had done anything to help Bosnia’s terrorized Muslims were Iran and Albania. Then military-ruled Turkey, the second largest power in Europe, did almost nothing to help Bosnia. If Jews were being raped or murdered, Israel’s armed forces would have gone into action to rescue them, I asserted.Not surprisingly I was never invited back to address another Islamic gathering - except for one proud moment last year when I was made a member of Afghanistan’s Pashtun Bangash tribe. A taxi driver refused to take money from me last week and said, ‘you are now an Afghan.’ For me, that is a badge of honor.Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a possibly important accord this week. Possibly, I say, because recent history is replete with empty security agreements between the Saudis and Pakistan.

More Turmoil from Washington

It has been another exciting week in and around Washington. The murder of Charlie Kirk has produced speculation that has resulted in all the loonies and haters coming out from their various hidey-holes. This has inevitably included the chorus of knuckleheads that makes up the Donald Trump cabinet. Since Kirk’s death, Republican conservatives have called for a crackdown on the left, though it is by no means clear that any identifiable left-of-center group was in any way implicated in the killing.
