Though you may not have heard about it given the minimal press coverage, over 400,000 people converged on DC last weekend to demand an end to the US-financed war in Gaza. That's 300,000 more people than voted in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night, many of whom cast their preferences on slips of paper stuffed into paper bags. Still, Trump barely won a majority of his own party's vote. As my friend Michael Colby noted: "In 1980, Carter got 59% of the caucus vote (Kennedy got 32%) and he was considered toast for the general election." Trump won about the same percentage of the Iowa vote as LBJ did in New Hampshire in…

Biden's decision to expand the war into the Red Sea last week was predictable in view of the naval deployments in the region, but it is unlikely to have any favorable impact on the actions and policies of Yemen and the Houthis. The U.S. and British attacks could lead to a wider war, however, that involves Hezbollah on Israel's northern border.
