You could see it coming a block away! I’m talking about the Democrats’ cynical gambit for capturing the White House in 2008! It goes like this: Let the Iraq War drag on and on, with our brave troops dying daily in combat, and/or sustaining serious injuries; but, don’t do anything to stop the funding for the conflict. Then, blame the horrific results of the war on (…)

Every four years the country is swept up in the pomp and pageantry of presidential elections. And every four years loyal Americans flock to the voting booths to select the candidate of their choice. Elections, we are told, are the true expression of democratic government. But they aren’t. They’re a sham and most people know it. The balloting creates the illusion of choice (…)

Editors have a mantra, do not look back, move on, write what is current. But sometimes looking back is vital. Those who ignore even the recent past are doomed to understand nothing, sink deeper into quagmires - and bleat again : ’Why do they hate us’ ?
Looking through material for the book that has been far too long in the making, I found a copy of a letter which I sent to a prominent (UK) Member of Parliament. It is dated November 1993 and clarifies for ever why the invaders were never (…)

The US has poured billions into Pakistan’s struggle against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. But some American officials are now saying that Washington got too little for its money. And that much of the funding may have been misappropriated.

It has come to my attention that many Christians are spending their Christmas begging for forgiveness. This does so infuriate me, after I already sent my son and crucified him to pay for the sins of the world. These Christians are just so ungrateful for everything I have done for them.
