Pedals to the metal
[Read the article: Escape from Baghdad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And as 4 million Iraqi refugees wonder about their futures as they looks for homes. As millions of Iraqi people mourn the over one million Iraqi people who have been killed as a direct result of the illegal invasion of Iraq by the Bush cartel. As the world looks on knowing that crimes against humanity have taken place. The majority of Americans have their pedals to the metal as they go to the malls.
The world knows that the majority of American people and the American Mainstream Media are morally and spiritually bankrupt. The problem is that the Majority of the American people could care less.
How many reports on the MSM about the Iraqi refugees, the Iraqi dead, hell you do not even hear about American soldiers on the MSM any longer. It all about the ELECTION ELECTION ELECTION.

One of my Heroes
[Read the article: Israel imposes a 10-year ban on American critic of Israeli policies]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Norman Finkelstein has been one of my heroes on the I/P conflict for 20 years. Along with Former President Jimmy Carter and others.
This action by the Israeli government demonstrates just how one will be treated if you attempt to talk honestly about this issue!
You can watch an amazing clip of Wolf Blitzer and Norman duking it out about the I/P conflict on you tube. It is about 9 minutes and well worth it.
Amy Goodman has had Norman on Democracy Now numerous times to debate with Alan Dershowitz and others about this conflict.
Norman is fair balanced and unbelievably articulate. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for his efforts to look at the I/P conflict with compassion, and empathy for the Palestinians and the Jews in this conflict. Norman stands by UN resolutions, he can look at this situation objectively.
Thank you Norman.

How does the Israeli Lobby do it?
[Read the article: Emanuel endorses Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]More Good News for Obama. At least Obama is the one candidate who talks about "negotiations and diplomacy" with Iran. While Hillary talks about "obliterating" Iran and McCain sings "bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" and repeats the right wing radicals unsubstantiated claims about Iran.
The amazing thing is can you imagine any other lobbying organization that had provided the vehicle for two "alleged" spies like Rosen and Weissman to access U.S. classified intelligence and then "allegedly" pass that intelligence off to Israeli officials would have all of the Presidential candidates there kissing their asses.
Can you imagine if the Turkish Lobbying Association or another country's lobbying organization had been part of undermining U.S. National security and three years later all of the candidates would be at a conference supporting that organization. How does the Israeli Lobby do it?

Fall of the American Empire
[Read the article: Torture and the rule of law]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Still keep thinking about what I heard British Journalist Peter Bergen say on NPR's Talk of the Nation about an interview that he did with Osama Bin Laden long before the invasion of Iraq. OBL stated that "he hoped to witness the U.S. become a shadow of its former self". Hmmm we are well on our way.
Still keep thinking the reason the Bush administration keeps trying to hide the scope of the illegal wiretapping program is John Bolton's access to NSA intercepts and the wiretapping of Colin Powell's negotiations with Iran and the wiretapping of UN officials by the Bush administration.
The telecoms are the firewall. Knock it down

Iraq "Two minutes per Network Per WeeK
[Read the article: Your prissy mainstream media at work]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Two Minutes per network Per Week. That is how much the top three U.S. networks spend on the situation in Iraq. No mention of Iraq casualties or of the close to 5 million Iraqi refugees.
Back to Bradgelina, Britany and American Idol.
