What you are about to read does not stem from political savvy but from what I, a proud citizen of the United States of America, consider common sense.
In the last seven years our moral standing and respect in the world have evaporated. Today, the United States of America represents the Imperiali...
Are our young men and women serving in Iraq dying in vain?
A cruel but valid question.
The truth is they should have never been asked to go to this troubled country. How do we explain to the parents, spouses and children of our soldiers who have died, been maimed for life or are still serving...
Whenever a State project that would benefit the people is curtailed or rejected for lack of money, I wonder.
Whenever the U.S. Congress rejects laws which would aid the people of our country for lack of funds, I wonder.
Where do the billions of dollars come from that finance the catastrophic I...
We are a country divided by the tragedy of the war in Iraq. We must continue to finance the conflict in order to fully support our troops as long as they are in harm’s way. The majority of the American people do not support this ill-fated war, but a stubborn, badly advised president is not listeni...
We live in troubled times. Many of our problems are self inflicted. The causes are easy to understand and remedies clear.
We have the power and privilege to express our opinions by our votes.
But too many people just don’t get it!
The United States of America leads by the worst possible e...
We have just been subjected to an act of desperation at our expense.
Either too shortsighted or blind to reality, our government has sent, or is sending, 21,500 more American troops into harm’s way.
Why?
It is clear in many minds that our Iraq venture was a grave mistake.
There is no doub...
If we only could advance the clock to 2008.
Our president is a well-meaning, decent individual. Too late did the American voters recognize that he is neither a statesman nor a diplomat, and in this time of dire need, we badly require both.
In order for the shooting to stop in Iraq we must tal...
We invade a country based on unsubstantiated charges that they are developing nuclear weapons. We are warned against going in alone but who cares?
Toppling the dictatorial leader of that country, we claim victory over his armed forces.
Expecting to be welcomed with open arms by the people of ...
I am always amazed by the naiveté displayed by our government, past and present.
Students of history of the Middle East must be aware that democracy for this region of the earth is nothing more than an impossible dream. All countries but Israel are populated by followers of Islam. Members of th...
Unfortunately, there is not a parliamentary “NO CONFIDENCE” vote written into our constitution. However, every two years at the polls we can express our opinions about our government. Tuesday’s vote resulted in a peaceful rebellion by the American people. We told our President and the governing b...
Could we survive without fossil fuel? It seems possible that one of these years we are going to be put to the test.
If the Islamic revolution continues, Saudi Arabia will have trouble retaining their monarchy. An overthrow of the Saudi Family would endanger our supply of oil as they are major s...
Where do we go from here?
I believe it is universally accepted by the citizens of the United States as well by the world at large that our invasion of Iraq was a monumental blunder. Aside from the sacrifices the people of our country have made and are still to make, we painted ourselves into a c...
The people of Iran are like most people in the world. They are basically one of the most westernized peoples in the Middle East. But all this is now well-covered under long robes and veils. A brutal Islamic government, aided by the military which they control, has been able to suppress and subjug...
We have a Ceasefire. Has anything been settled? No! The Hezbollah is still in Lebanon, and who will disarm and evict them? It appears that Israel has learned, the hard way, that their Intelligence failed to supply accurate information about Hezbollah’s armament and preparedness. For the first ti...
Our country’s ill-advised attack on Iraq has opened a Pandora’s Box which we will be unable to close in the foreseeable future, if ever.
We hear much about the possibility of civil war in Iraq. It is happening already: Sunnis against Shiites. The only issues these two factions agree on are the...
The Middle-East, now one of the hottest war zones in the world, has come to another important fork in the road. The formerly vast superiority of Israel’s armament and the very basic equipment of the Hezbollah are things of the past. The Hezbollah, a rogue organization without a country, has attach...
It has happened before:
Just when things seem to calm down in the Israel/Palestine conflict, something bad happens. This does not occur by accident but is cleverly devised by parties that do not wish peace to come to the region.
There are players among the rulers of the countries of the Midd...
On the 4th of July, 2006, we celebrated the independence of the United States of America.
Clearly, however we could not celebrate the independence of all countries of the world. We can only wish that this were true. Quoting the dictionary, independence means “free from subjection or the inf...
“Iraq is close to building ‘The Bomb’! Saddam is experimenting with lethal substances that threaten not only the Middle East but our own country as well. Our oil supplies will dry up, and our jobs and way of life are in imminent danger. Unless we stop Hussein now, we are facing certain Armageddon....
It sounded so simple and so promising: “THE ROAD MAP”. It laid out a plan to peace.
Unfortunately, design of a topographic map does not guarantee peace unless all parties are in agreement and desirous of peace. Thus the road map to peace, proposed by the United States, was destined to fail even...
When are we going to learn that the age of the Crusaders is long gone?
Our country is blessed with legions of serious thinkers. Why is it that no one counseled our leaders on the basic facts of Muslim-governed countries and the teachings of Islam? Although its disciples often misinterpreted the K...
When it comes to the price of gasoline, the sky is the limit.
Why?
Because the price is calculated daily based on what might happen and not on what is actually occurring.
It is possible that Nigeria will not produce and/or will cease temporarily to export oil.
Venezuela’s government might th...
Our borders with neighbors, Canada and Mexico, are as porous as sieves. It would be a tremendous task to keep people from entering territory that spans thousands of miles.
Canada, a country of laws and enlightened government, presents no real problem. Most Canadian citizens are satis...
