Elliott Abrams: “More charges have been filed for the crime of insulting the President in the less than 1 year of Mohammad Morsi's rule…”

This notion that, well, we cannot do this because there will be disorder in the West Bank or the Palestinian Authority would collapse, I think it is a reasonable concern, but it is not going to happen.

If we are trying to eliminate the degree to which Hezbollah serves Iran, we are failing.

I do not think the sanctions alone are going to have that impact.

Syria's civil war is now a proxy war, due to the introduction of Iranian and Hezbollah troops, and due to the massive refugee flows it is now a source of regional instability.
