Summary/Abstract |
Can Kabul be saved? More troops are on the way, but a one-size-fits-all surge is not enough. We also need to change our tactics. If Washington wants to prevail in Afghanistan, we need to learn from successes in Iraq, and focus on fighting a war-not building a nation.

Summary/Abstract |
There is no doubt that General Petraeus’s strategies salvaged Iraq. His successes, however, mask a vital policy debate about the future of our armed services. American leaders must ignore the false choice between forces prepared for counterinsurgency or those trained for conventional warfare. Can we create a military ready for all types of future wars?

Summary/Abstract |
Iran is becoming a superpower. Funding proxy armies, controlling vital energy hubs and winning the heart of the Arab street, Tehran has created a sphere of influence on an imperial scale. If we don't do something-and soon-Iran, not China or Russia, will be the West's global nemesis.

Summary/Abstract |
A nuclear Iran may not be the biggest threat to Israel. Fear is a danger in and of itself. Until now, Israel has triumphed in the Middle East against overwhelming odds because of a clever, rational defense policy that used force as a last resort. If it adopts this attitude again, it can certainly withstand an atomically armed Tehran.

Summary/Abstract |
Imagine a world free of oil-one with diversified Arab economies divorced from the dollar, African nations devoid of the resource curse, and China and India ascendant. As it turns out, a world without oil dependence is a world that doesn't need an American superpower.

Summary/Abstract |
Anti-Semitism is on the march in Europe. But the European's new turn toward isolationism goes even further than that. With negative views of Jews rooted in a rising tide of xenophobia based on a growing dislike for globalization, immigration and Muslims, this is a problem not to be ignored.
