Recent writings on Khashoggi, Paris Terror, Qatar, and London Bridge


The 'Pirate' Who Became the First Truly Famous Arab Tycoon

At his peak, Adnan Khashoggi was a billionaire arms dealer whose lifestyle was so lavish and scandalous it was turned into a best-selling novel



Europe's Resilience in the Face of Terror

A young man attacked a policeman outside Notre Dame Cathedral—but Parisians were not cowed. Call it the new Age of Resilience in the West.



Where Does Saudi- Qatar Death Match Leave Trump's Troops?

Saudi Arabia just drastically cut ties with Qatar—leaving the Trump administration and American troops in the MidEast in an awkward position.



Can Attacks Like London Bridge Be Stopped?

Must we live our lives in fear, or behind walls, or both? Britain will likely become the testing ground for a new wave of tough counterterror measures.
