    Endless War, Empty Goals By David Glenn Cox
    The headlines could be from 2003, 2004, 2006 or 2008, and nothing changes. “Rescuers Search Iraq Blast Site” “US Base Attacked in Afghanistan” “US to improve Afghan Training.” If this were World War Two, the Yalta conference would have been two years ago and President Truman would be planning to meet in San Francisco soon to establish the UN.
    The wheels and the machinations turn and yet nothing changes; the death tolls grow and yet somehow the (…)

    Where Have All the Democrats Gone? By David Glenn Cox
    If you live long enough you will see just about all that there is to see, except maybe the Chicago Cubs win the World Series. I was reading news stories and that’s how I felt when I ran across this one:
    “June 12 (Bloomberg) — U.S. lawmakers are set to approve a $106 billion war-spending bill after President Barack Obama said he would use ’every legal and administrative remedy available’ to block the release of photos of troops abusing (…)
