While the devastation from nature and war has been vast in too many places around the world, there are a great many people and organizations with vision and heart, who are trying to recreate economies. They are doing what is … Continue reading →
It looks as though the military in Syria is not controlled by its President. If it is, he must surely know he would likely face trial. I’m grateful to the world leaders who appear to have good intentions of creating … Continue reading →
It’s really a shame that the essay I wrote, a summary about the Iraq war and thoughts about the “culture of death” that was exported to the Iraqi people after the ousting Saddam Hussein, was lost as I tried to … Continue reading →
Diplomatic leaks have caused consternation, as publicly reported; but, for the citizen of a given country, he or she certainly cares quite a bit, how the leadership gets along and directs public policy. Usually every country wants to disclose to … Continue reading →
Has anyone considered for a moment that Iran’s potentially decided nuclear ambitions might be rooted in its self- interest of protecting itself from its Arab neighbor and potential foe and rival in the region, Saudi Arabia? Maybe Iran has no … Continue reading →
I’m wondering if the US President is using any of his familiarity with the African continent to call upon a region therein to assist in the efforts in Afghanistan. It might be shrewd of us to ask the secretary of … Continue reading →
If more countries could enter Afghanistan at villagers’ request, to help keep insurgents out of peaceful zones, it seems that such coordination could starve armed insurgents. I’m wondering who the US could share such intelligence and effort with, in addition … Continue reading →
I have to admit, I am not an expert on the US involvement in Afghanistan, likely no one person is. But, I’m not calling for withdrawal of US forces here… I really think now that maybe the coalition needs more … Continue reading →
Afghanistan’s economy based on its cash crop the poppy, has been disrupted by US armed forces and other participating nation’s armed forces. I’m wondering if this war, like Russia’s long ago vs. tribal terrorists, is being lost as well. Surely … Continue reading →
In memory of those who have died as a result of war and violent oppression, I pray today with my peace-loving brothers and sisters around the world, who together commemorate the lives of those who were killed. This day is … Continue reading →
And again… of course it comes to this. A third proposal to arms sent to the middle-east. Halting settlements is something that can be done without having to arm oneself with US weaponry. Can you blame them for asking? In … Continue reading →
I see an interesting thing happening at the moment. All the people complaining the loudest, publicly, about their “big government”, as they coin, are really bitter opponents of the health care reform movement. As the democrats presented a referendum to … Continue reading →
I am not privy to the president’s access to intelligence, but he did appear to me in a dream in which he was quite angry with me for something. Strange I know. Maybe I wasn’t providing him with enough intelligence? … Continue reading →
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Dear NCPSSM, “Boomsday” is fast approaching. Are we considering age and the higher lifespan and increased functionality of our older beneficiaries? I am a young recipient. I am disabled by doctor’s diagnosis. I appreciate every penny … Continue reading →
Today, the courts are to decide some issues regarding public photography and recording of celebrities. I hope that a set of rules can be hashed out so as to address the practices that clearly have crossed lines. The rules should … Continue reading →
I heard that actor B. Pitt’s ex-wife tells the media that she has/had a stalker near her home. Does that mean he or she didn’t like the show “Friends”? Kidding aside, I feel this is an important point I’m about … Continue reading →
In loving memory of the man who stepped in, courageously, to resolve youth violence. Aboard a German subway, he stepped in, to protect a kid from bullies, after calling police… only to be beaten himself to death by the bullies. … Continue reading →
I just read an article put out by a major cable news network in the year 2004 taking the position that the doors would soon open for consumers and patients alike to order pharmaceuticals from America, with doctor’s prescription, online, … Continue reading →
While it is certainly true that a consumer’s line of protection is to refuse purchasing a product in favor of a competitor’s product, it is sad that a person can fall victim of product use. While “Toyota” regrets the loss … Continue reading →
No. In support of America, to anyone reading, I ask that all our troops return ASAP. Exporting democracy in the form that we’ve been seeing is not obligatory. Iran’s president announced in a public speech that “his country could develop … Continue reading →
