I have been unable to post a new blog in the past couple of months due to various commitments. Nonetheless, I discovered eight wonderful commentaries that I had written back in 2008 and posted on the “Syndicated News” web site. They were penned during a sizzling summer, shortly after the price of crude oil hit a record high of $147.27 in July 2008 and during a black fall, when in a single week the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 1,874 points, or 18%, in its worst weekly decline ever on both a point and percentage basis.
Some of these essays on our fragile political, economic and foreign policy landscape at that time, now seem quite prescient, if I might say so myself. I wish mainstream pundits would review their writings from a couple of years ago to see if they had the requisite foresight on some of the pressing issues of the day. As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20, but it’s foresight that really qualifies you as a pundit. So here are the links to my syndicated efforts from that turbulent period in 2008:
In the War on Terrorism: A Passage Through India (8/14/2008)
Can a new, expanded NATO avert Cold War II? (8/21/2008)
Obama-Biden his time, as McCain-Palin to irrelevance! (9/3/2008)
Victory in Iraq (9/8/2008)
The Great Regression (9/30/2008)
For U.S. Foreign Policy: A "New Clear" Passage Through India (10/20/2008)
The Political Pendulum: Swinging To Liberalism (10/27/2008)
Too Much, Too Little, Too Late From The Fed: We Are All Keynesians Now! (10/30/2008)
So do I qualify as a pundit?
