• Donald Rumsfeld; is He the Right Man for the Job?

    Rating: 

    Many of the Democrats running for office state that Donald Rumsfeld has done a poor job executing the War in Iraq and that it has cost too many lives and too much money. They state that the War in Iraq has put our nation into debt. Yet others say that they see the Democratic Leadership generally voting for these things too including all the TSA measures, Military and Department of Homeland Security as well.Read more…
  • Pakistan Resolution

    Rating: 

    The All India Muslim League held its session in Lahore on 23 March 1940, in which the famous Lahore Resolution, since then called the 'Pakistan Resolution' was adopted. The resolution read as under:RESOLVED that it is the considered view of this session of the All India Muslim League that no Constitutional Plan would be workable in this country or acceptable to Muslims, unless it is designed on the following basic principle, namely, the geographically contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted, with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary, that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in a majority as in the North Western and Eastern Zones of India, should be grouped to constitute 'independent states', in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign.It has always been taken for granted mistakenly that the Musalmaans are a minority.Read more…

  • Intergrating Illegal Immigrants

    Rating: 

    Is this newly scripted and revealed Presidential program to deal with illegal immigrants by embedding them as "Guests Workers", more or less going to be best for America? That is really the main question. Not what is best for you, although you do vote that way, and perhaps you should, but putting the country first before self is an old habit of mine.Read more…

  • Demonising Islamic Faith

    Rating: 

    The first anniversary of the London bombings has provided the Masters of the Universe with another platform from which to lecture us lesser, presumably thicker mortals about the evils of “Islamic terrorism” - and in the process to consciously, deliberately manufacture the “fear of the other” that permits them to strip us of the remaining human and democratic rights of which their “war on terror” has yet to rob us.Television screens all over the global village inform us that the “Islamic terrorists will never defeat us”. Images of London’s Nazi-era “Dunkirk Spirit” are invoked, even as we are told that more of our rights are going to be taken from us.Read more…

  • Rwanda Rises from the Ashes

    Rating: 

    Despite the carnage and bloodshed during the 1994 Hutu-led genocidal frenzy, Rwanda, is now a peaceful country of 8 million that has made remarkable strides. In doing so, the country has overcome great odds and become a model of good governance, democracy, reconciliation, and hope.The horrible events, though “well-planned, over a long period”[1] and waiting to be implemented as state-run radio urged, began on April 6, 1994 when the plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu and Burundi’s President Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down just outside of Kigali.Read more…
  • Blair is 5th London Bomber

    Rating: 

    The search has been on, ever since the London bombings a year ago, for an elusive individual the police and intelligence agencies describe as “the fifth bomber”.

  • Three Headed Dragon: Russia, China and North Korea [Japan: the Gofer]

    Rating: 

    [CNN] “Bush was asked why he was committed to going before the Security Council in an effort to restrict North Korea's missile and nuclear programs while he ignored the council's opposition to going to war in Iraq in 2003.” I said it a long time ago in several articles concerning China, Russia and North Korea, that Japan better hurry up and wake up before they find a missile in their backyard, right down in Tokyo. It almost happened a few days ago.Read more…
  • The Wheels of War [Japan, North Korea, Vietnam and the USA]

    Rating: 

    War is not always a mere battle over concrete things, but rather a contest of wills, or power over mentalities (state of mind, attitudes) and perceptions (observations, discernments, etc). One might conclude President Bush is fighting the war still in Iraq (and now Korea and Iran on the front) with these precepts in mind. Vietnam was fought by the North with these weapons in mind, with the US Army being advanced tenfold to the VC’s disadvantage; yet the will of the north overwhelmed Washington D.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.
