Rachel Marsden: Russia re-Putined
So Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putinhas just been re-presidented for at least another six years, during which we can all watch his newly tucked eyes migrate back to where they used to be. And as surely as a pound dog comes with fleas, this election...

Tribune-inspired fugitive legislation sent to governor
Clout StreetSPRINGFIELD --- The Illinois House today sent Gov. Pat Quinn legislation that would crack down on a fugitive's family members who help him flee. The measure would make it a felony for a family member to help prevent a fugitive's arrest or aid in his...Tags: Executive Branch, Entertainment Events, Pat Quinn, Government, Illinois Governor

Political right misrepresents world events
I try to follow the political discussion in the U.S. and am amazed how much effort it takes even to begin to be well-informed. If you are serious about being informed, you can't be the least bit lazy and depend on a couple of pundits to shape your world...Tags: Rubber Products Industry, Barack Obama, Iran, Defense Equipment, Dick Cheney

U.S. shouldn't meddle in Syria
I have a great suggestion about what to do with Syria: Let's mind our own business ("A despot lashes out," Aug. 11). It's about time America stopped spending trillions of dollars policing the planet. As far as Syria's Bashar Assad is concerned, let those...Tags: Bashar Assad

What will the U.S. response be to Syria's crimes against humanity?
The Syrian government's increasingly brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters is putting the Obama administration's revamped Middle East policy to its first real test. It's one thing to say U.S. policy toward the region should spring from America's core...Tags: Barack Obama, Muammar Gaddafi, Heads of State, Demonstration, Democracy

A despot lashes out
Syria's bloody crackdown on anti-government demonstrators reached new levels of brutality this week with the killing of hundreds of civilians in the city of Hama, a hotbed of resistance to the regime of President Bashar Assad. For months, Mr. Assad...Tags: Satellite Technology, Demonstration, Damascus (Syria), Europe, Foreign Aid

Drop the 'two-war' plan
![As defense strategists at the Pentagon carry out their review of how to make roughly $400 billion in cuts over 10 years, and Congress considers the possibility of reductions twice as large as required by the supercommittee's failure to reach agreement, one clear change in policy is appropriate: It is time to drop the longstanding assumption that U.S. ground forces must be capable of fighting two overlapping regional wars. Rather, ground-force planners should adopt a "1+2" framework, planning for one major war together with two smaller (but perhaps longer) multinational stabilization missions.](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-12/66794208-15102555.jpg "As defense strategists at the Pentagon carry out their review of how to make roughly $400 billion in cuts over 10 years, and Congress considers the possibility of reductions twice as large as required by the supercommittee's failure to reach agreement, one clear change in policy is appropriate: It is time to drop the longstanding assumption that U.S. ground forces must be capable of fighting two overlapping regional wars.

Assad: A dictator in denial
You have to hand it to Syria's Bashar Assad; the man's got chutzpah. His interview in Damascus last week with ABC's Barbara Walters was either a case study in delusional thinking or unbounded cynicism. Mr. Assad's amazing performance, in which he denied...Tags: Syrian Civil War (2011 - present ), Wars and Interventions, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Demonstration, United Nations

Is reelection driving Obama's Israel policy?
![For many years, Iran has threatened to "wipe Israel off the map," even as it gets closer and closer to developing nuclear weapons that could enable it to follow through on its threat. However, the question now is whether this is the optimum time for Israel to launch an attack.](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-03/68602611-06083123.jpg "For many years, Iran has threatened to "wipe Israel off the map,\" even as it gets closer and closer to developing nuclear weapons that could enable it to follow through on its threat.

Nobody cares enough to do something about what's happening in Syria
Your editorial "No way out for Syria" (Jan. 24) catalogs a lot of facts about the bloody turmoil that engulfs Syria today. The editorial notes the disinclination of practically any party involved to act forcefully – apart from the Syrians risking...Tags: Israel, Democracy, Jerusalem (Israel), Saudi Arabia, Politics

Syria cease-fire represents progress
The recent news of the cease fire in Syria met with a "ho-hum," skeptical and less-than-enthusiastic reaction ("Shaky cease-fire starts in Syria," April 13). I was stunned. Can't we rejoice for the moment over the historic change in a method based on...Tags: Unrest, Conflicts and War, Armed Conflicts

Syria and the cell phone
I read with interest Glenn McNatt's editorial about the use of cell-phone video to document historic events in Syria ("The YouTube war," Feb. 25). His editorial was a significant one and deserves to be expanded into a series exploring the uses of new...Tags: Cell Phones, Global Expansion, YouTube, Arts, United Nations
