Richard Baehr: Obama’s war—When cynicism trumps credibility:
Until some insiders break ranks and tell the truth, we will not know why U.S. President Barack Obama changed his mind over launching cruise missiles at Syria last week.
Until recently, there was speculation that when the president saw the public opinion polls showing that Americans were sharply opposed to a strike, he became nervous about being out there on his own, without the U.N., the British, or Congress, especially if there was a modest risk that things might “go south” after a strike (retaliation against U.S. assets or domestic terrorism). Another circulating theory was that if the British were taking the war to a vote, then Obama, who had been a frequent war critic as a senator, needed to do the same.
But now a new explanation is gaining currency: that the president simply lost his will to fight because he became afraid of Iranian/Hezbollah repercussions. Unlike the Iranians, the Syrians, the Egyptians, the Russians and pretty much everyone else on the international stage, who understand that the president is an empty vessel at this point, and whose word means little or nothing, Obama may take the Iranian threats seriously.

Prof. Eyal Zisser: Bush was feared, Obama is barely noticed— President Barack Obama is all alone, just as his predecessor, George W. Bush, was when he went to war with Iraq in 2003. It’s just that Bush was respected and, for the most part, feared. Obama simply “doesn’t count.”
Dan Margalit: In America we trust?—U.S. President Barack Obama is sinking deeper and deeper in trouble. Immediately after the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria, the enlightened world still stood with him. Even Russia, a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, was not as resolute as usual.
Zalman Shoval: Syria strike will be no tea party— There is a reason for the disarray among Republicans over the proposal to attack Syria — and it is called the Tea Party.
Prof. Abraham Ben-Zvi: Obama’s dangerous precedent on Iran— When the moment of truth arrives on Iran, a congressional question mark will hover over any military action.
Ron Tira: With Iran there will be no time for games— What the Syrian issue has shown Israel is that the U.S. may not have its back when it comes to Iran.
Boaz Bismuth: New world, old order— Obama has had to leave his pipe dream of worldwide brotherhood behind, realizing that the changing world refuses to listen to the U.S.
Clifford D. May: Assad must pay— Cost-free state terrorism is licensed state terrorism.
Uri Heitner: Was an offer really on the table?— Had Egypt harbored a genuine desire to make peace in the years leading up to the 1973 war, it would not have attacked Israel.
Jonathan Tobin: Could the Oslo Fiasco Have Been Averted?— When the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the “New Middle East” is marked later this week, the occasion will be one that will be largely devoted to recriminations rather than celebrations. This is an error.
Dawn Perlmutter: A New Muslim Brotherhood Symbol: R4BIA— There is a new Islamist symbol appearing in protests, on social networking sites and at demonstrations throughout the Middle East. The symbol allegedly originated as a four-fingered hand sign by pro-Morsi protesters during demonstrations in Egypt’s Rabia al-Adawiya Square. The hand gesture quickly evolved into an image of the hand commonly depicted in black on a bright yellow background. It is called the “R4BIA sign.” In English it is officially spelled in capital letters and the letter “A” is replaced with the number 4. It has become the symbol of the massacre of pro-Morsi supporters in Rabia al-Adawiya Square on August 14, 2013. This new sign already has its own history, legend and mysticism and it contains all the attributes that Islamists favor in their symbology, particularly martyrdom.
This is the new Muslim Brotherhood symbol.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
