Middle East Policy

In the current vulnerable electoral system and its application, it is getting much harder for the #GOP to win national elections. Unless it is amended towards strict voter and ballot verification as exactly as other well-established democracies, they will keep losing key swing states.  Otherwise, they need to work on demographics and mail-in ballots in swing states. Get their voters registered there and manage to get more ballots counted via bureaucracy. Simply learn from Dems in the internationally well-known counties. PS: baseless database accusations! :D

After so many years, and with much excitement, the Middle East Policy is back. I will resume posting to the renovated weblog by the end of year. It is definitely a new Middle East with much of chaos, violence and authoritarian abuse. My advocated values-based Neo-Internationalism has been overrun by standard pragmatic and opportunistic national interests by the Western states, especially after their Libya and Syria policies, which resulted in the death of the 'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P) once promising international norm, and in more chaotic international order and security.
