Following the Arab Spring of 2011, which brought down Mubarak in Egypt, US seemed to outsource much of our Syria political policy to the ancient capital city of Ankara, Turkey.
But now that all our efforts have proven unable, or incapable of convincing that Syrian dictator to adopt reforms, Americans must insist that our leaders formulate solid plans for that entire region.

The price of Gold (the metal) has soared. City Island Gold (the honey) has soared as well. It has soared through the air of City Island in the form of bees collecting nectar for that delicious end product known as City Island Gold.

In case you are not familiar with City Island Gold, it is produced and sold locally at merchants such as Kaleidoscope at the corner of City Island Avenue and Hawkins Street. So if you are in the mood for a sweet, natural treat pick up a jar or two and enjoy the nectar of the bees without getting stung.

1969: At the age of 27, Moammar Gaddafi leads a bloodless military coup against King Idris and becomes head of the Revolutionary Command Council, the country’s most important role. His proposed merger with Sudan and Egypt fails, along with a series of subsequent Arab alliances he attempts.

1970 - 1971: The new government closes all foreign military bases in the country, expels several thousand Italian residents and closes foreign-operated libraries and cultural centers.
