- Iran and the Bomb
E1Iran and the BombMany countries have nuclear weapons, and many more want them. Only one, though, has its neighbors and the world terrified. That country is Iran. Why is everyone so concerned? Because the Islamic theocracy has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel, sponsors global terrorism, and would leverage the deterrence effect of a nuclear weapon to advance their anti-Western and anti-American interests. Bret Stephens, foreign affairs columnist for the Wall Street Journal explains the one thing you really need to know in order to understand why we can't let Iran get the bomb -- they may actually use it. - Why America's Military Must Be Strong
E2Why America's Military Must Be StrongOver the past century there have been periods when the American military has been dominant and periods when it has not.

Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights, explains in five eye-opening minutes. - Are Israeli Settlements the Barrier to Peace
E4Are Israeli Settlements the Barrier to PeaceIs Israel's policy of building civilian communities in the West Bank the reason there's no peace agreement with the Palestinians?

Renowned Harvard professor and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz explains. - Should America be the World's Policeman

Dennis Prager answers these questions and more. - Israel - The World's Most Moral Army
