Those Audacious Americans -
Michael Ramzy (821)    
Michael Ramzy   
A beautiful night passes over America and here we are realizing once again how bold, how downright courageous we Americans can be.
Imagine if you will living in Somalia and deciding the only path you have open is one of piracy. Of course, you know it's wrong, but you feel you have no choice.... ( added 220 days 6 hours ago.) |
Winning the War on Roaches -
Steve Radford (1,026)  
Steve Radford
The cul-de-sac was overrun with roaches. Our home, positioned at the end of the street, was clearly in the best position to take action. In fact, as the largest home on the block, the other residents undoubtedly looked to us to solve the problem, though they never said so. We had already taken... ( added 1 year 234 days ago.) |

Time To Dump The United Nations -
- Joel Hendon (18,567)
Joel Hendon
The United Nations was organized following World War 2, in 1945. It replaced the impotent and costly League of Nations which was formed in 1920 following World War 1. Both had noble purposes, basically that of creating a peaceful world or at least enough nations to enforce it on any renegade... ( added 35 days 16 hours ago.) |
The ACLJ and Israeli war crimes, who's imagining what? -
Aaron Taylor (1,223)   
Aaron Taylor
A few days ago I received a mass e-mail from the ACLJ. For those that don't get their daily dose of Christian talk radio, ACLJ stands for the American Center for Law and Justice. Think of the ACLJ as the conservative Yin to the liberal ACLU Yang. Most of their mass e-mails have to do with issues... ( added 46 days 4 hours ago.) |
We Sent Bill, Now Send Lisa Ling and Euna Lee a bill -
- Missing Link (675) 
Missing Link
OK, so it was a touching moment when the journalists returned from North Korea and the Lee woman got to hug her husband and her little girl. Yes, yes, yes all very heart warming. Where in all this hand-wringing and nose wiping is recognition of the fact that these two women crossed illegally into... ( added 108 days 10 hours ago.) |
Two Models of Foreign Policy -

Are you defending o ( added 126 days 17 hours ago.) |
North Korea = Weak Smack -
- Missing Link (675)
Missing Link
North Korea is posing some interesting questions.
1. Democracy is fine and even benevolent dictatorship might work but shouldn't the world - being all connected and stuff now - have veto power over some crazy little MF running a country and causing all kinds of havoc?
Oh, excuse me... ( added 150 days 7 hours ago.) |
The Crisis in U.S./Muslim Relations -
- Jerome Grossman (8) 
In Cairo , President Barack Obama addressed the world's billion Muslims preaching the values of political freedom, democracy and human rights.

A Breath of Fresh Air in Iran -
Steve Kovacs (4,352) 
Steve Kovacs
Iran recently had a controversial election for president, which has caused deadly demonstrations throughout the country. I am actually surprised they even have free elections, given the governments history of rigidity and myopic views. A few years ago, the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...

Dividing Up Israel Is Not Without Its Consequences -
Joel Kontinen (2,404)   
Joel Kontinen
History tells us that dividing up the land of Israel is not without its consequences. In the Old Testament book of Zechariah there is a dire warning against mistreating the Jews. God says that Israel is the apple of His eye:
For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the... ( added 167 days 19 hours ago.) |
The Poison Dwarf -
- John Sammon (3,668) 
John Sammon
Why does North Korea do this? Because it works. North Korea 's testing of a nuclear weapon is the same old stick and carrot approach North Korea always uses. Again and again. They get away with it. Again and again. Each time they do, it's like a repeat, an exact copy of the way they did it before... ( added 180 days 12 hours ago.) |
Legal Grass isn't Greener: UN Against Decriminalization -

John Weber
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says the success of international controls on illicit drugs has created a monster: a criminal market that actually offsets the benefits of drug control.

Is Iraq a Real Democracy? -
Terry Mitchell (5,334)  
Terry Mitchell
I have a hard time buying into the notion that Iraq is a true democracy. Yes, since the U.S. forced Saddam Hussein from power, Iraq has conducted free and open elections and has selected its own leaders.
However, there's more to a democracy than just elections, and I see Iraq as lacking in... ( added 222 days 21 hours ago.) |
Obama's New Approach to Iran -
- Jerome Grossman (8)
The
Obama administration will take part directly in international
negotiations with Iran aimed at ending Teheran's nuclear program. It is
the latest move in a shift in U. S. policy toward Iran, a very positive
step toward direct engagement with Iran that President Obama promised during his... ( added 225 days 19 hours ago.) |

Big Money Goes Around The World -
Michael Ramzy (821)
Michael Ramzy
A beautiful day in America and our president is in London for the G20 summit. Of course, the fact he is out of the country is not surprising as Mr. Obama would prefer to be called the President of the World, it seems, and not just our little country.
And why not? He has big plans, big ideas... ( added 233 days 16 hours ago.) |
A Crisis Carol -
- Aetius Romulous (8) 
Aetius Romulous
At the close of World War I, the victorious celebrated their win by crippling the losers. It was a stupid age. Rabid Nationalism, teetering Empires, and the wailing of a new born industrial Goliath in the New World all combined to overpower a creaking and defunct world economic system that had...

Obama Throws Party for Bin Laden - oops Wrong Terrorist - it's ex IRA chief Martin McGuiness -
Leah (12,648) 
Leah
As it happens Barack Obama is NOT throwing a party for Osama Bin Laden but I imagine the reaction that headline got is the same reaction many British gave when they read that USA president Barack Obama was throwing a 'lavish reception' for Ex IRA Chief Martin McGuiness! Source

Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,148) 
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
I opened the paper to the words of the collection agents cry "deadbeat." I didn't hear the other words so often used said, "irresponsible", "low life" but boy it sounded like we, that is America does not pay their bills when due. Hey we only pay 22% or more of their budget, the highest percentage... ( added 254 days 20 hours ago.) |
The World Must Act Now To Stop Genocide In Burma! -
Aaron Taylor (1,223)
Aaron Taylor
Soldiers entering villages and killing people on sight. Landmines blowing pregnant women to smithereens. There's no way this is really going on. The world would never tolerate this. How come I haven't heard about this before? These were the words flashing through my mind as I watched the fourth... ( added 310 days 9 hours ago.) |

We have a long history of interaction, both good and bad, with Colombia .
