Just say no to war with Iran
How fitting! On this year's Veterans' Day we're learning about the next war in the Middle East ("Iran and the bomb," Nov. 11). Now it's Iran that's in the crosshairs. In my opinion the Pentagon has become "too big to fail," and lessons from the recent...Tags: Religious Conflicts, Chicago Housing Authority, Civil Unrest, NATO

Obama presidency has weakened America at home and abroad
Gary Dorrien must have been wearing his comedy writer's cap when he wrote the preposterous claims that appear in his recent op-ed ("Stand with Obama," March 16). I know hardly where to begin. Referring to the president, Mr. Dorrien wrote: "He helped to...Tags: Israel, Barack Obama, Weaponry, Government Health Care, Lobbying

Obama and Netanyahu: Who's in the driver's seat?
