The costs of war continue far beyond when the wars end.  War is horrifying and in order to be a successful soldier…you can’t evaluate life through the same set of lenses that you do when you’re going to buy your groceries at the local Piggly Wiggly.  We sent kids to war…gave them guns and said [...]

Seymour Hersh is known for breaking news; in this recent article – he sources evidence that America funded a foreign terrorist organization named M.E.K. which is to Iran what Al Qaeda is to the U.S.  Now – this funding stopped sometime at the end of the Bush presidency but we must not kid ourselves….it’s still [...]

There is a “cease fire” that will be in place in a couple of days and the Assad forces are killing hundreds.  This cease fire was brokered by the Arab League and the UN….and Syrian forces have until April 10th to withdraw.  They’re using these remaining days to pound the resistance militarily.  This is important [...]

Watch the video above.  It’s pretty powerful because I think it really reflects just how blinded by our own media that we all are.  We tend to think of terrorism as what “they do”; what we do is much more noble and for the greater good of course.  America would NEVER support terrorism….and our attempts [...]

It would appear the Bashar al-Assad government is much more difficult to overthrow via coup d’état than it was in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.  Now – in Libya…we had to get our hands a little dirty via the NATO “kinetic military action” (apparently – it wasn’t a war).  And – make no mistake…we’ve been working at [...]

Thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq have died at the hands of American foreign policy whether intentionally or otherwise.  The story of the soldier who shot and murdered 17 innocent Afghans is a unique one, but the bloodshed of innocents at the hands of Americans is not.  In the video – you have a [...]

When you hear this report or that report – you have to be very skeptical and cautious about what you are hearing.  On one hand…Time magazine is reporting that Israel is backing down in it’s investment in Mossad in Iran.  That seems very unlikely: #1 – Israel has been pushing, pushing, pushing for a war [...]

I find it amazing how gullible Americans are.  We continue to hear people – both elected politicians and more permanent public servants espouse this notion that we must increase spending on defense…and they’ll throw around platitudes like they just came up with an original thought.  When you hear someone talking about how important it is [...]

We’re out of Iraq.  It has been painful….but we’re gone.  There are many Republicans who still advocate for America to be in Iraq….fighting a war with no real enemy, no mission and only consequences.

Ahhhh yes – maybe there is room for diplomacy with the Republican party yet.  The irony of this is that Iran is essentially a Theocracy, and there are so many Republicans saying that there should not be a separation of church and state.  They want a Christian nation i.e. Theocracy.
