20 Reasons Why the USA Has a Vested Interest in Israel - From a South African Perspective

Many people do not really understand the power Isreal has over the USA, and why the US has so much interest in the Middle East, this little country will always be a valuable part of the American economy whether that want to admit it or not. The 20 reasons listed below are just the tip of the iceberg.

Liberals Prepare For The Lieberman Test

Anti war liberals in the Democratic Party are dreading election day in November because they are going to be put to the test. That test is going to deal with whether or not all of their yelling and foot stomping about the War in Iraq is paying off.

Cease Fire Deal Is Defeat for Israel

The current cease fire deal represents a victory for Hezbollah and a defeat for Israel. Hezbollah is the first Arab force to fight the IDF to a stalemate and Israel accomplished none of the conditions it set for a cessation of hostilities.

Israel's Minimalist War

Israel failed to destroy Hezbollah as a fighting force because the Israeli government failed to adhere to the concept of total war. Despite preparations for an all-out assault into Lebanon, the Israelis limited their actions to border skirmishes and minimalist raids. As a result, they failed to accomplish their war objectives.

Censorship - Society's Black Hole

Censorship of a different kind....but hey it still sucks

We Are All Macaca

It sounds like racism and bigotry and most American monkeys will let it slide. But what it is in reality, is Washington monkey puppet faux elitism. Because they rub elbows with the agents of the rich, they truly believe they are chief among servants of the super rich.

The Resurrection of the Sovereign Citizen

I have a dream. The dream has become my goal. As hundreds of thousands of my U.S. brothers and sisters sacrifice for the global ambitions of corporate power and their Washington puppets, an equal number can be motivated to send a few Emails to end the madness. I know this is a great deal to ask of those unaccustomed to sacrifice, yet I am bold enough to set a five year goal to make it happem.

Campaigning For Another Party Reprehensible

It is political season, and incumbents will try anything to save their jobs. This year, unfortunately, is just another example of politicians stopping at nothing to win their re-elections. There are several races in this year’s election where a third party candidate could steer the election results in one direction or the other. One perverse example is the Pennsylvania senatorial campaign between Republican Sen. Rick Santorum and Democratic challenger Bob Casey.

Iraq: No Major Changes in U.S. Policy Are Likely Before the 2008 Presidential Election

With Campaign 2006 gaining momentum, the situation in Iraq is likely to be a focal point of the crossfire between candidates and political parties. Among the centerpiece items could be whether or not the U.S. should withdraw from Iraq. After the election, the rhetoric will diminish and an approach that differs little from the status quo will continue. A combination of factors suggest that no big change in course is likely until after the 2008 Presidential election.

Ok You Win! We’ll Negotiate With Terrorists!

The constant drumbeat of negativity from the Vietnam, anti any war that they cannot use to make themselves more powerful, left has brought me to the point where I have to admit that it is time to negotiate with the terrorists. So with me today I have Mohammed Usama Achmed Al Zarqawi bin Laden who has agreed to sit down and negotiate an end to our war with Islamic Terrorism.

WWJD - What Would Jefferson Do?

An American looks at her country's weakness in the context of her own shortcomings. In the end, change can only happen one person at a time.

Remember and Come Together

It was fitting that on the five-year anniversary of September 11, some members of Congress faced the building while others faced the cameras. Into this partisan black hole that has plagued this country comes the anniversary of the worst attacks on the United States in its history. It was not surprising to see some members of Congress facing opposite directions. What they should have done is face the same direction for once.

The Impact of Freight Forwarding on Global Politics

Who would have imagined that the issue of freight forwarding could have been at the centre of a row between the Scottish National Party, civilians and the British government? And yet only a short while ago this is exactly what happened.
