Geneva
The public news of the progress in the negotiations taking place in Switzerland is encouraging. Is it naive to be hopeful? We shall see. We shall also see [hopefully] who used the sarin gas.

Syria and the US negotiating?
No one, more than a few in the United States have an itch you could say, to go to war with Assad – and win Russian support in the process. Most obvious and outspoken: John Kerry. Russia, China, Iran and … Continue reading →
lip service
Unlike a marriage [which is exempt from this topical blog entry], representative government is often, and has been all too often, big on promises for Americans and short on delivering them in the way the lip service has scripted them. … Continue reading →
sometimes divorce was justified… but, consider the new covenant
Important paragraph added on 10/18/2013. Is a battle of the sexes still possible after nuptials are exchanged? It happens. There are vengeful and hostile people who would burn their own marriage just as easily as they would create a public … Continue reading →
Why dialogue? Because it should work.
Having dismissed claims of using weapons against his own people, it seems that the president of Syria might have welcomed an intervention that does not target him or his regime. But would this work while the gun is pointed at … Continue reading →
The results of United Nations’ fact finding should not be dismissed. Why not? Because otherwise our military cannot properly clarify if Assad could be an ally.

United Nations – please do something to protect those who are dying in Syria, and Egypt.

If the United Nations does not announce its expert findings, Syria may have no military threats from the US lifted. If innocence is proven, the US may still not lift the threat. This is a real problem. And if the … Continue reading →
Chemical cache
I’m sure it will take time to complete, but a United Nation’s confiscation of chemical weapons in the Syrian territory sounds like a peaceable solution. Who used the weapons thus far, does not seem to have been announced by independent … Continue reading →
why the label “terrorist” loses meaning
Definition of terrorism: “a system of government by terror; intimidation.” Just why do men, women, and children win the trust of armed militants? Sometimes states have failed to meet the needs of their people. Territory can be one such contentious … Continue reading →
good development!
The US and British governments have announced that they will allow the UN inspectors the time and space required to complete their investigation into who used chemical warfare in Syria. This is sensible and good news. We hope the investigation … Continue reading →
Syrian strife
Who is responsible for gassing hundreds of Syrian civilians in Syria? Bashar al-Assad [who does not claim responsibility], or, rebel forces within the country [who it seems are also denying responsibility for]? My country’s government is sending the message that … Continue reading →
red and blue
The animated video I posted previously in writings, mirrored the temporary satisfaction felt by a socialist movement and national rebellion against traditionally right social values. It became justified, in numbers, as an attack against corporate greed. In this spirit, the … Continue reading →
Thoughts about nihilism. Alive and well?
When one looks to leader(s) to properly govern, one can lose heart and lose faith that good will prevail. Years of disillusionment can cause social ills. But, that is no reason to give up. Unfortunately, many of us people turn … Continue reading →
Egypt 2
For those of my readers who are unclear about where to stand with regard to what’s happening in Egypt, I too am having a difficult time sorting through the journals. And, it has been reported that “Egyptians have lived under … Continue reading →
about my January 22 post, and the British royal family
About my post on January 22 “Harry speaks out”, I’ve had a change of heart with one of my comments, Harry. All lies should be gone after, with fervor and rage. Honesty is in too short supply! I’d like to … Continue reading →
please do not
Governor Jerry Brown; it is reported that you were not sure whether you were going to desire another term. Please do not seek one. I don’t know what you would bring to the state exactly again, but I believe a … Continue reading →

I would like to make an appeal to all those considering the post for US presidency. Do not go to war with Iran, or Russia, or anyone else for that matter.

Congratulations and thanks go out to the southern California drug enforcement agents and police who have recently put a stop to a budding synthetic drug organization. Those synthetic drugs would have done great damage to the community as would have … Continue reading →
