    Rating: 

    During the height of the Hezbolla-Israeli war we find that people are complaining because Israel has seized a village in Lebanon.

  • Iran Shows Up for North Korean Long Range Missile Launches

    Rating: 

    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

    Rating: 

    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…

  • Ethanol Without Government Incentives?

    Rating:

  • How Grateful Should Israel be to Terrorists?

  • The USA's Supreme Court's Diluted Laws

    Rating: 

    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…

  • Rejectionism Not "Occupation" Drives Middle East Terrorism

    Rating: 

    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…

  • 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.
