Regime Change: Up Close and Personal

Let me start out by openly and unequivocally stating that most of the individuals who are in the decision-making and decision-influencing positions which determine U.S. foreign policy and drive it’s recklessness are a truly shameful bunch.  They are morally bankrupt, ignorant, myopic, barbaric, drunk on power, and as far as…

Distract and Divide . . . Focus and Unite

Distractions divide us and guarantee we’ll never talk about essential core challenges.

Well, we’re finally getting out of Afghanistan. That’s great news! But I have one question. Why did we go into Afghanistan in the first place? That was 20 YEARS AGO! You might think it was to catch Osama bin Laden. Well, folks, the Taliban offered to turn him over to…

War is the answer! But what was the question?

In the forums for our national conversation, there is no earnest discussion of peace and cooperation now … period!  I’m not talking lip service or political posturing.  I’m talking REAL DISCUSSION, widespread, inclusive, comprehensive discussion.  In the media, by our leaders, among everyday people.  NONE! We have a war economy,…
