Forget Liberalism, Let’s Redefine Conservatism Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 10 March 2017 What is it about the US that makes it virtually the only country in the world where a political Left scarcely exists? We have a center Right—the Democratic Party. And we have a far Right—the Republican Party. In fact, just invoking the L-word […]

Trump is Right on Palestine: Beyond the “Two-State Solution” Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 20 February 2017 Just because Trump said it doesn’t mean it has to be wrong. During the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Washington, President Trump publicly stated he is not necessarily wedded to a “two-state solution” in Palestine. He is […]

Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller@aol.com) 20 January 2017 With the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States, it’s hard to know where first to focus attention. Rage and righteous indignation on all sides are mounting. There is more than enough blame to go around for how the US got itself into […]

Trump-Putin Frenzy Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 19 December 2016 I cannot recall a period in which the US public debate across the media has reached such implacably partisan and toxic proportions. The issues are indeed important—particularly the specific case of Russian involvement in helping make public the activities of the Democratic National Committee—information that was strongly […]
The Never-Ending Extravaganza

The Never-Ending Extravaganza Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 12 December 2012 It had been an exhausting, interminable 18-20 months of presidential campaigning during which much of the business of thoughtful American governance had to yield space to the riveting follies of politics. Yet most other countries in the world, not locked into dictators or kings for […]

President Trump Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 9 November 2016 The very words hit the ear as a shock; the mind is not ready for it. And that is exactly the problem. We could not see it coming. Among other things this tawdry and interminable election represents a massive American intelligence failure. Not failure of IQ, […]

Capitalism Is Not a Moral Virtue, It’s Like Fire Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 18 October 2016 By now it is almost an article of faith in US political discussion that capitalism—more gently referred to as “the free market”—is a moral virtue in itself. It is not. Capitalism is amoral, like fire. I grew up in […]

Syria—what cost “victory?” Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 6 October 2016 A deep contradiction lies at the heart of US policy towards the present horrifying conflict in Syria. Which is better? To now reluctantly accept continuation of Bashar al-Asad in power in Damascus for the foreseeable future, thereby hastening the end of the war and the […]

Democracy, the “Great Debates,” and China Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 29 September 2016 The “Great Debates” between candidates Clinton and Trump encapsulate what is wrong with the US political process. There’s been little substance; it’s all about personalities and sound-bytes and gotcha. Never mind the grand issues of our time and how they should be […]
