LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — I am standing in a security line at Los Angeles International Airport, staring into the dead, glazed eyes of a man who has been screaming "LAPTOPS OUT" for six straight hours.

Results Of US Regime Changes
For decades, the United States has justified its foreign interventions under the banner of promoting democracy and stability. The underlying assumption behind many of these actions is simple: remove an authoritarian leader, and a more stable, democratic, and cooperative system will naturally emerge.

The Strait of Hormuz
Introduction The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important maritime passages in the world. It connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea.
