The Iraq War. Flesh and Blood.
May 20th, 2010 · Comments Off · International affairs, Politics, wars and militarism
The war in Iraq was a mistake. Whatever point of view one takes, there is no real benefit to us any longer to have troops in Iraq. They should come home as soon as possible. But that is not the end of it. We need to tell the rest of the world we’re sorry. We’re [...]

Another Cheney…Another Wave of “Terror?”
October 14th, 2009 · Comments Off · Politics
