RUSSIA IS NOT OUR ENEMY
Reevaluating the hysteria about Russia and Vladimir Putin.

The murky world of Congressional endorsements, speaker fees, and Saudi lobbying.
TURKEY: THE COUP
Turkey and President Erdogan have the potential to play a very good or very bad role in the reformation of Sunni Islam. It is very important to have an accurate view of the Gulen movement. Toward that goal -- some different views. Is it a moderate front or a more malignant form of Islam? or the "moderate Islam" so many of the West are seeking.

Turkey/Russia/Israel.
ISIS not the major security concern of Israel.
ISRAEL IS ONE STATE THAT DOESN’T NEED TO BE DIVIDED
A new Sunni state may be needed in the Mideast but it shouldn’t be cut out of Israel. It is highly likely that a Trump candidacy will reject the two-state solution which has so paralyzed American foreign policy in the Mideast. Here is a highly negative view of this development, but an accurate view of what may be coming. It would be a change of policy, indeed.
How Trump changed Republican platform.
AOA ON MEN AND RACE IN AMERICA
We have not written about the Dallas shootings and the police shootings of two black men (in Minnesota and Louisiana) which triggered the Black Lives Matter rally and then the Black Power sniper. This breakdown of civic brotherhood is at the core of our concerns here at AOA. We are still taking in what happened. Here are some previous writings:
The betrayal of Selma and black men.
The Benedict Option: Christian Fraternity.
Joshua or Barak: Betraying the Promise.
Heather McDonald on stopping the demonizing of the police. The amplification of the exception in order to obfuscate the obvious.
