    Yet Another About-Face Zig-Zagging Through the War with John Kerry

    For all their grandiose posturing, in truth, Iraq, Syria and Iran have never posed a direct threat to the US mainland. Put simply, they’re too far away from the neighbourhood. So why would the US be willing to expend so many (…)
