[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 49214, member: 153"] Re: running commentary on middle east policy and news. +1 I've learned over & over in my life that, just because someone spouts some information or, makes some claim...doesn't make it so. I see a lot of America's problems, are caused by nothing more than people finding creative ways to justify their Jobs, their "Beliefs" (political or religious) or to obtain even more (political or financial) power. Examples from the News headlines: Cops writing more tickets than ever... (coincidental, that these communities are on the verge of Bankruptcy ?) Three States pass...No Civilian video taping of Police Officers (they can video tape us through their Cop car cameras, but, we can't video tape them ?) Patriot Act... Federal Bill prohibits protesting near Political Events.... Federal Agency files are off limits to persons named on file.... (No freedom of information Act IRS seizure powers... (no Court... no verdict ?) State's Governor dismisses Contracts with Labor... (without a Court hearing...?) And then, there's all of the fear mongering over the last 50 years.... USSR, China, Cuba, etc... build up our Nuclear Arsenal.. those terrible commies are going to get us... Then, Viet Nam and the rest of Indo-China..."communism is going to spread, and surrounding Countries will fall like dominoes". It did not, and now we trade with ALL of Indo-China. Then, when we have no Communist enemies to keep our War Machine running ... Terrorists arrive on the scene! Funny how there's MORE Generals, and Admirals now, than we had in WW11 and the Korean War ...combined ..? What is so disturbing to me...is that 10 years ago.. the Terrorists were in Iraq (which had nothing to do with anything) Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Pakistan...now, they're writing Laws to address Americans as Terrorists. I'm waiting for them to break out the mind-reading machines...then we're all in trouble. Hammer ps...the former Prime Minister of Pakistan ..the one that was assassinated was not a Man...it was a Woman... [/QUOTE]
