The only people who pretend that Obama is a 'progressive' are a few Leftists, and Right-wingers that hate Leftists. 'But the most important reason that ‘Progressives for Obama' should have never existed is its utter lack of content.'

Broken Spring? : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world.

These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
