n Washington (and among its European allies) the foreign policy playbook contains only one play: military escalation. If ISIS emerged as a result of the US attack on Iraq, the only solution is more attacks. More attacks bring more blowback.

You don't want to read this, and I take no pleasure in writing it, and no one really wants to hear it right now. But I believe it needs to be said.
After 14 years of fighting in Afghanistan, the country is in worse shape than ever. NATO is trying to figure out what it can do next, after years of training and advising the Afghan army have not produced the results expected. Maybe the problem is th
Over the weekend a Russian passenger plane went down over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. As expected, theories are proliferating. Was it ISIS? A missile? A bomb? Blowback over Russia bombing Syria? Will we ever know?
