There is mounting anger in the Islamic world against the USA and its allies who call themselves "COalition of the Willing". The War in Iraq, the large scale killing of innocent civillians fo;;owed by a ruthless policy of search and destroy that is being followed, and the story of the descecration of the GOLY QURAN has resulted in palpable anger. The USA could have iss
I agree with much of what you say. I have covered much the same in my blogs on the pope. I think he will puch US catholics to the very brink by his unreasonable attitude.
The American Economy accounts for nearly 30% of the world economy at a global scale. down from 50% at the end of World War II. During the recent presidential elections almost all political paries including a few Republicans from industrial states, spoke very critically of outsourcing. Keep US jobs at home seemed to be their credo. Fortunately for the World economy, B
To allow the State Department or the White House to circumscribe the process of the Senate in advise and consent process would be a violation of the separation of powers. This may be so as far as trhe letter of the Constitution is concerned. However, there is a feeling that thei unfortunate Bolton is being pilloried not so much for his sins but for the public relation disaster he has turned out to be. He is a crude officious man who probably
The much talked about elections have happened, a new Iraqi Government in in place and the car bombs are going off at the rater of 300 a month. The American media, with its gaggle of embedded journalists have avoided commenting on one major development:the insurgency in Iraq, rather than winding down, as antticipaated has begun to carreen out of control. It is showing
One does not wait for the enemy to arrive at the very gfate in order to exhaust him.. If you have even tried to study the history of Russia, you would see the total inaccuracy of that statement In case of both these invasions,winter set in early. It is often sais that General Winter was responsible for
Wisdom often dawns late. The whole world has been saying and the Bush-Blair duo went ahead regardless that {1} Iraq id not have WMD and [2] invasion of Iraq will make an unstable volatile region even worse. Further, many have been saying that Al Qaeda will emege stronger if Iraq is destabalised. Bush has done just that and without an exit strategy in place USA is floundering in Iraq. The insurgency is now spread even into Kurdish areas, the Sectaria
They went through hell. They deserve a place in history just as much as the men who landed at Normandy. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center
Nearly 60 years ago, a President of the American Historical Association, Carl Becker said famously:Everyman his own historian. What he meant was that each human being understands the events surrounding his life from his/her individual perspective. The victim remembers an incident differently from the pertetrator. Hence historical memory is the stuff life and civilizat
Buhu, believe what you want to make yourself feel good It is not a matter of feeling good. Please do not trivialise an issue over which so much blood is being shed. My purpose was merely to draw attention to what is happening in Iraq. After I put up this blog the news came of an explosion in Bagdad that
China has always shown great statesmanship. See the way the Hong Kong return was handled. I think the leaders are serious when they say One China Two systems. I think it would be extremely difficult for Twaiwan to defend itself against China. The best that Taiwan can now do is to negotiate a settlement over the issue. The whole world is watching how this issue plays out. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl
It has not done that and that whole process needs to be reviewed. what it has done is made companies like Halliburton very wealthy. i THINK THE EXPERIENCE OF cOL gENE HAS MADE MY JOB MUCH EASIER. tI thank you, Col Gene
Thus the contracting idea of services in combat zones should be discontinued since it is more expensive and creates a distraction to our combat forces when the civilian contractors need to be protected. cOL gENE HAS SAID SOMETHING THAT IS WOTH A LOT IN ERMS OF THE ECONOMICS OF CONTRACTING
the Pentagon has hit upon the strategy of outsourcing the War by hiring Private Security Firms whose men atre now actively involved in combat. Kindly Read the article in The Forign AFFAIRS OF sEPTEMBER dECEMBER 2004
A very good score. Keep it up. I am myself nowhere close.
Some years back, Fredrick Forsyth, the Dan Brown, of the 70's, wrote a book called Dogs of War. In this novel a group of mercennaries trasined by an American Company attempt to overthrow the Government of an African country by sending highly trained and armed gun slingers for hire from South Africa. How closely life imitates art can be gleaned by the fact that Sir Mar
YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO JOE USER for presenting it with your outragious views. DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKE BLAIR AND BUSH, THEY ARE EVIL AND I HOPE THEY DIE LIKE PIGS IN A GRINDER </
As usual a great one from the Wahine. As I have lived in Hawaii, I can say that TW could survive the eary days of her motherhood without major governmental support, because Hawaii is a lot more caring place than the Mainland. Even if the coast of living is higher, there is no need to spend a whole lot of money on fuel, electruic heating and the like.
In two days time the Electorate in UK will head for the polls. Tony Blair and his Labour Party will return to power with a much reduced Parliamentary majority. If the Conservatives are not able to benefit from the backlash of the Iraq War they have no one to blame but themselves. During the run-up to the War, when the Labour Party backbenchers were reluctant to endor
This suits your argument here, but you are a hypocrite in that you WON'T apply your draconian standard of guilt to those hating and killing Jews and other ethnic groups TODAY. Hypocrite.Bonus Rating: Trolling Insightful Since I personally believe in Israel's right to statehood and I also happen to
Looking forward to the extra features. This is really a cool place.
I've asked the same question 3 times, have been ignored 3 times. See post 17 I have quoted and answered.
from Goldhagen's book. There are certain quotes that stand out in my mind, and the whitewashing one is tripping my sensors. There's plenty of critiques O all the post for my piece I likedyour piece because it comes from an informed perspective. I respect your right to read the Goldhagen books differen
Should every Iraqi soldier be barred from the US? Every child that was taught pro-Saddam lies? What about all the little programmed Maddressa robots that know how to say "Death to America, Death to Israel" before they can dress themselves? Looks a lot like Hilter-brand hate to me. I do not sdee any diff
