  • Straight Talk About Israel

    Mr Rosner does really invoke TRUTH regarding Israeli US relations. Instead, he calls for downplaying them. Why? Might it be that Rosner does not want the truth about Israeli US relations to be revealed? After 1948, Israel was an modern independent nation with its own foreign policy agenda which included expansion and inclusion of the ancient ...

  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • Obama's Reparations

    Lately, I have been having conversations about a topic of profound significance to me. Essentially, I believe that if (probably when) Obama becomes president, as the masterful communicator that he is, he will be able to bring the issue of reparations for slavery into the national consciousness. For too long the issue of reparations has been ...

  • Re: Uh, Zimbabwe is far worse...

    Please, let's talk about the most depraved colonists? I have my money on the Belgians though the Portuguese give them a run for the money.

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • moral idiot much?

    From the article:It is a moral idiot who thinks that anti-Semitism is a threat only to Jews. The history of civilization demonstrates something rather different: Judaeophobia is an unfailing prognosis of barbarism and collapse, and the states and movements that promulgate it are doomed to suicide as well as homicide, as was demonstrated by ...

  • Burma, Oil, & Neo Cons

    Connecting the global crusade for control of oil and the faction within Washington called the Neo Cons is fairly simple today. Thus, there is no surprise that Anne Applebaum makes a case for intervention in Burma. She is an operative of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). The AEI is the leading Neo Con think tank in Washington and includes ...

  • Re: Anne Applebaum and Intervention

    Invade Burma? Why? We have learned some lessons from Iraq. Sure the Burmese Junta is a dictatorship, but haven’t we heard ad nauseum from Liberals that being a dictatorship is not necessarily a bad thing. The Burmese, like the Iraqi’s, might need a strong hand to control them after 46 years of repression. If we removed their authoritarian ...

  • Civil War in Iraq and USA

    Today, liberals say that war in Iraq was a failure because so many people there died. Granted, it's a big tragedy, no argument about it. But lets put things in perspective, shall we? First, ask yourself, what percentage of civilians were killed by the US armed forces? Ahm? Secondly, ask yourself who and why kills them? And maybe, if the mayhem ...

  • Re: No one has suggested we're at war with Iran? Yes they have.

    Interesting points. But the US embassy was used to support the Shah Pavhavi monarchy, including training his SAVAK in torture and police state action, not to mention all kinds of espionage. Given these violations of general diplomatic licenses and a change in Iranian government meant the Iranian govt had a legal right to sieze the embassy. Of ...
