[Nigel Sheinwald] found that Syria was ready to co-operate in pacifying Iraq in return for total Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights and the establishment of a Palestinian state with participation from Hamas. Syria's President Bashar Assad also wants a say in Lebanon's politics. For now, at least, Assad doesn't support the disarming of Hezbollah. It is now expected that Syria and Iraq will resume diplomatic relations that Saddam Hussein had cut 25 years ago. Israeli observers are amazed by the degree of Syria's strategic transformation. When Assad visited London on Dec. 16, 2002, [Tony Blair] tried to convince Syria to join the war against Iraq. Assad refused. [Bush] subjected Syria to various forms of pressure. Gradually, however, Bush moved from "regime change" to "policy change...

[John McCain] and Obama have very different visions of the Middle East. Their biggest differences are on Iran and Iraq. The U.S. military intervention in Iraq remains the most divisive issue in American politics. No matter who wins, either candidate will prepare for the post-Iraq era, when U.S. military presence will decrease. At the same time, both McCain and Obama agree on urgently sending more troops to Afghanistan to cope with the growing Taliban threat. While both candidates oppose Iran's nuclear ambitions, they differ on the methods to foil them. McCain is reported to have told Israeli politicians that he won't wait until Iran produces a bomb, and then try to deter President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from using it. He said that he would risk a military action to destroy Iran's nuclear f...

Why did Canada stay out of the Iraq War in 2003? This decision is not only puzzling considering Canada's recent foreign policy record, but it also confounds the logic of a number of International Relations theories. In this paper, I offer a constructivist explanation of Canada's Iraq decision. In this account, national identity is a function of state-to-society relations, meaning that the dominant discourse at the societal level in a given period will shape foreign policy choices. I argue that the dominant discourse on Canadian identity, as recovered in an analysis of popular texts in Canadian society in 2002-2003, enabled Ottawa's non-participation in the US-led coalition of the willing.
