Lebanese researcher Ali Fadlallah: Trump's "crazy theory" won him nothing, abroad or at home Fadlallah, a researcher in international law and Islamic studies, said Trump now has two paths. One is to continue the discovery of the "madness" and push for more wars, especially against Iran, which he says will cost the US more. The second is to withdraw and focus on domestic affairs and bring back the "Monroe Doctrine", which he says will allow the US to regain its power.
