A President's Chance to Improve Colombia

One of the largest mass-kidnappings in Colombian history turned out to be an exaggeration. Julio Ibarguen, the governor of Colombia’s Choco department, claimed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) had kidnapped 170 rural workers on 13 July. Ten more were reported killed.Read more…Dreams of Influence in Nicaragua
Washington remembers the days of the CIA-backed counterinsurgency organized to remove Nicaragua’s Sandanistas from power. Since the end of the Cold War, the region’s political climate has changed. Washington’s desire for influence has not.Read more…Hezbollah Is An International Terrorist Organization
It is amazing to hear people complain that over 300 people have died in the Israel-Hezbollah war. Hezbollah has over 10,000 people in it; that includes staunch supporters who will pick up a weapon and fire at in the name of Hezbolla and active international terrorists participants, recruiters and murderers. Hezbollah has hijacked Lebanon.Read more…Israel Seizes Village in Lebanon
During the height of the Hezbolla-Israeli war we find that people are complaining because Israel has seized a village in Lebanon. But Israel must weed out all of the Hezbolla international terrorists to protect her people.It is interesting that the United Nations, Syria and Kofi Annan are calling for a cease-fire because they believed Israel should not enter Lebanon and take over villages.Read more…Embryonic Stem Cells Research Bill: Veto Shows Moral Courage
President George W. Bush should be applauded for his July 19, 2006, veto of the embryonic stem cell research funding bill. He has had the courage to do the right thing despite tremendous political pressure.Read more…Iran Shows Up for North Korean Long Range Missile Launches
The United Nations has put forth a resolution to prevent North Korea from firing long-range missiles and developing nuclear warheads and selling them to other nations. Unfortunately North Korea could really care less what the United Nations says or the United States for that matter and on any party talks between neighboring nations, North Korea has walked out of the negotiations.Even worse, Iranian military officials showed up for the North Korean long-range missile launches which fired out into the Pacific Ocean.Read more…6000 Civilian Deaths in Iraq in May and June
The United Nations released a report this week stating that in the months of May and June this year, there have been at least 6000 Iraqi civilians killed. I was shocked when I first read this report, not because of the number of deaths, but because I began to doubt the media outlets in which I trust. I view these specific outlets, the BBC, CBC, Globe&Mail, because I have instilled a certain amount of trust in them.Read more…I Hate, And Thats Not All Bad

Will we invade Syria? The President, along with two of his cabinet members have made statements denouncing Syria for harboring fugitive Iraqi government leaders, but that is not the worst of it! They also said the "keyword" of "weapons of mass destruction"!Read more…Ethanol Without Government Incentives?
Many free-market economists have asked themselves is it possible to grow our own fuel in the United States of America without government subsidies and still compete with the price of gasoline? Is it possible to break the habit and addiction that America has to Middle Eastern foreign oil by growing our own fuel? Some say it is but it will take time.Read more…How Grateful Should Israel be to Terrorists?
The world seems to be so much for giving the bad guys their rights; be it in war, or in prison. In Lima recently, a dog killed a robber, and they wanted to kill the dog. But the dog got its freedom, this is like what is happening between Israel and the Terrorist in Lebanon.Read more…The USA's Supreme Court's Diluted Laws
I’m not out to change anyone’s mind, and I’m sure I couldn’t’ anyway, we are all a little bent on how we see things I suppose, and now the time has come for a appointee for the Supreme Court, which is the President’s constitutional right to select; and of course, to be subject to questioning by the Supreme Court judges, and Senate. I guess if I believe in anything in America—I would go with the statement a CIA Agent made recently, and I can’t remember his name, but when he asked if he worked for the President of the United States, he said, “No, I work for the ‘Constitution of the United States.”’ I couldn’t have said it any better.Read more…U.S. Israel Smash Democracies in Palestine and Lebanon – Syria Iran Next

I was reading an issue of New York Times magazine and it said the North Koreans fired 6 missiles on July 6 and caused an international furor. I googled it and found over a million listings that developed in the last two weeks about the incident. I also found out that India also is testing nuclear warheads and got me to thinking, hmm.Read more…Losing Face Beats Losing Lives
Where is my country headed?I spent a lot of energy in my teens, acting as a member of a huge portion of our population, informing our leadership that they were letting us down. I was too young to be called to Viet Nam, but that did not deter me from protesting.Read more…Rejectionism Not "Occupation" Drives Middle East Terrorism
Since the end of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, the predominant line of thinking concerning Middle Eastern terrorism is that it was a result of Israeli “occupation.” Even as such terrorism had been occurring long before that war, the idea of “occupation” grew highly fashionable in international circles and drowned out all other explanations. It also offered a tantalyzingly easy approach to peace: Israel could trade land for peace.Read more…Delary Beach Florida Police Department - My Experience
The purpose of this article is to inform the public as to what kind of service you might expect from the Delray Beach, Florida, Police Department.In the summer of 1998 I moved to Delray Beach and took up temporary residence in a condominium behind the Marriot Hotel. The second night there I was burglarized by an excon named Brain Levy.Read more…Remember The Children
Is there anything greater in this world than the smile and laughter of a child? Is there anything worse in this world than a child's cry of pain, fear, and suffering?A person is not a person if he or she can watch the terrible images of children in Lebanon and Israel screaming in pain, frightened, wondering where their parents, their safety net, are.Read more…United Nations To The Rescue! … Of Terrorists
For decades terrorists have been attacking Israel. The violence has pretty much been relentless and barely garners much beyond half hearted condemnation by the vaunted international community. And on the off chance that there is even recognition of the violence the Israeli’s deal with such recognition usually also contains condemnation of Israel and demands “restraint” in defending themselves.Read more…

The latest television campaign ad in the Virginia Senate race features two of the primary election approaches engineered by Democratic strategists for this November's mid-term contest: attacking the President's judgment and competence and appealing to the patriotism and dedication to service of current and former military members. These two campaign tactics, along with a third, newer strategy that just emerged in recent weeks, form the core of Howard Dean's plan for winning back the House and Senate after twelve years of Republican control.The first part of the campaign strategy centers on attacking the Republican candidate, Senator George Allen, by framing him as "guilty through association" for his support of the President and his policies.
