    Dear Ma
    I cannot believe the progress our soldiers are making here in Iraq. I am sitting at a small table in downtown Baghdad (Ali’s),sipping a cool spiced tea and joking with local businessmen. They tell me things couldn’ be better now that George Bush has introduced democracy in their once stife-torn country.
    I have heard reports that the electricity is now up and running 24/7 in almost all parts of Iraq, and there are new schools and hospitals being constructed every day. Those (…)

    In a story appearing in the Sunday Telegraph, the newspaper once owned by the Canadian criminal finagler and neocon “Lord” Conrad Black, amoral strategists “at the Pentagon are drawing up plans for devastating bombing raids backed by submarine-launched ballistic missile attacks against Iran’s nuclear sites as a ‘last resort’ to block Teheran’s efforts to develop an atomic bomb.” If not so deadly serious, the idea that the Straussian neocons will shock and awe Iran only as a “last resort” (…)

    Can you even imagine Republicans, even if they were in a minority in Congress, debating whether or not to call for the impeachment of a Democratic president known and documented as guilty of a wide range of high crimes and misdemeanors? In particular, if you can imagine that, can you imagine the Republicans who opposed impeachment arguing that they were doing so for strategic political reasons?
    This is hard to imagine, because the Republicans won a majority in Congress (…)

    There are times when I read an article that borders on comedy ... where I actually sit there laughing, as well as shaking my head, knowing that an ill-informed public will actually believe it.
    I first want to state to my readers around the globe and especially here within the United States, that if you think that Venezuela is a threat to you ... you really do need to get a life.
    The piece I am referring to is Pentagon document mentions Venezuela as a concern and I (…)
