Taking Al-Queda Out; Missile Defense Shift; 2010 Elections; Insurance And Health

Americans are making serious inroads against Al-Queda and the Taliban.

BUT, while the leadership is slowly physically getting whacked, what about the ideology?

Man, foreign policy is hard! Obama's latest move regarding missile defense is good and bad.

The ball is in Russia's court. And that's not necessarily a good thing.

I like Clinton's effort to assuage Eastern European allies.

One day after 9/11 I wrote in an email to my friends, a collection of educated individuals, the end of the Treaty of Westphalia. After much debate I upped it to "the Geneva conventions no longer apply."

We'll see if Obama's move ushers in a new pragmatism.

The White House is running scared. To be honest, I called it and it wasn't that hard to make. The Democrats will lose the House in 2010. And you know what? They'll have no one but themselves to blame.

Are health insurance really the problem?

I don't know a whole lot, as most readers know by now (I just pretend real good), but whenever I hear ONE culprit cited to a complex problem, I always say to myself, "Hmm. Now that don't seem too Euclidean to me. It just don't add up."

And this goes out to a commenter who goes by the name of T-Steel. He left this message here and I liked it enough to post it.

Not all blogs are opinions. There are some that do much fact-checking and investigation. But there are a sizable number of blogs who's fact-checking and investigation is serious colored along partisan lines. They preach to the choir under the guise of investigation when really they are cherry picking information and wrapping it around opinion. But the MSM does that as well (and even worse at times).

So this is just about a general culture of news where mutual understanding is few and far between. In most of our daily lives, we live in an environment of mutual understanding (i.e. interacting with with cashiers, ordering food, dealing with contractors, etc). Sad that we can't carry it over many times.

    The piano lesson MANNIX schedule may not fit with everybody’s MANNIX DVD COLLECTION timing, or the hourly consultation cost of such MANNIX DVD professional guitarists may be far more than expected.
