Issuing blanket pardons, Mr. President? How about one for Gaza? LBJ is less remembered for the good he did in the creation of the Great Society programs than for the evil he did in pursuing the Vietnam War. Joe Biden could avoid that fate if he cuts off military aid to Israel before leaving office.

Leave Venezuela! No, go back! It is U.S. Government policy to make life miserable by its imposition of economic sanctions. Huge numbers have fled to the U.S. to escape those conditions. The U.S. is now sending them back.

Ukraine: Which Way Out? The multinational/multiethnic nature of the former USSR is generally ignored in the discussion of the Ukraine War. Could an ultimate settlement be based on plebiscites in the disputed areas?
