This feels like putting lipstick on a war pig.  23,000 troops are coming home by the end of this summer.  We’re still going to have troops there into the future except Afghans will be in the lead which is a decade long project.  President Obama says we’re going to be completely out of our combat [...]

Let’s start with how this whole taking credit for Osama bin-Laden situation is shaping out politically.  The GOP has tried very hard to make it appear as if President Obama’s decision to take out Osama bin-Laden was an easy decision…not considering that there were several options with which to consider and that the intelligence rated [...]

I can’t even believe what I am seeing in this picture.  This photo taken on December 6th shows Tarana Akbari crying near several dead and injured people after a suicide bomber targeted Shiite worshippers during a religious ceremony outside the Abul Fazel shrine in Kabul. Tarana no longer wears her best attire which at the time was covered in [...]

Terrorism exists…and regardless of how Americans have been conditioned to be afraid of even the shadows of Muslims or anyone with a brown hue…sometimes…in fact – often times the person perpetrating the terrorism is someone with white skin.  The terrorist attack conducted by Anders Behring Breivik that killed 77 people in two attacks in Norway is [...]
