The Iraqi air strikes on Syria are legal and do not endanger Syria. Here’s why.
The Iraqi air strikes in Syria on Friday have inevitably brought up the question of their legality. The highly probable answer is that the air strikes were legal under international law.
If the air strikes were carried out with the prior permission of the Syrian government, then the question of their legality does not exist: the Iraqi air strikes would be legal, just as Russian air strikes which happen in Syria are. -

Is Trump Moderating on Foreign Policy? Not in the Least
“Chaos,” “dismay,” “radically inept” – those are just a few of the recent headlines analyzing Donald Trump’s foreign policy. In truth, disorder would seem to be the strategy of the day.

Is There Anything New About Trump’s Middle East Policy
While Donald Trump is apparently busy in re-defining the US approach to the Middle East, the so-called new policy may not be that new. After all, those preparing this policy and those advising the president on the region were once at the helm of creating the mess that today’s Middle East is in. While their policy might be somewhat different from what Barak Obama had followed, it is not necessarily likely to produce positive results. On the other hand, it might create new complications.

Was Iraq’s recent bombing of targets in Syria a crime or a blunder?
Since the darkest days of civil war, occupation and deprivation after the 2003 US-UK invasion, Iraq has slowly recovered. The slow and incomplete recovery has happened in spite of continued battles against ISIS. In so far as Iraq is slowly, however unsteadily adapting to its post-invasion realities, many contradictions have arisen.
Iraq’s government is generally Shi’a dominated though vastly less sectarian than earlier post-Saddam attempts at forming governments. In so far as this is the case, Iran continues to consolidate its influence in Baghdad. -
Who Will You Blame When Jeff Sessions Starts Locking People Up For Smoking A Joint?
I bet there are a lot of House Democrats relieved that they don't have to go on the record voting for or against Trump's nominees for the Cabinet From Hell. Only the Senate votes on nominations-- and all the Democratic senators had the good sense to vote against Betsy DeVos and Tom Price. These two are going to make millions of Americans very unhappy, one by screwing up public education and the other by screwing up healthcare.
