The Middle East faces three grave crises, each of which threatens international peace and security and all of which reverberate against each other. The UN Security Council should be called into special session to halt the downward spiral. No other body is positioned to do this—and time is running out.
Nationally syndicated columnist and author Helena Cobban, just back from the Middle East for this forum, has written four books on it. In the 1970s, she began reporting from the region for The Christian Science Monitor and The Sunday Times of London. Today, she is a monthly Monitor columnist, a contributing editor for The Boston Review and the host of a popular blog, justworldnews.org.
