The fact-free extremists who brought us the invasion of Iraq haven't gone anywhere and are busy trying to exert their influence before this administration ends.
  • Ash. Respectfully. Hisham Ali Hafiz wrote a poem : The Fire Under The Ash Burns. (If you like Rumi you'll love Persian Hafiz)

    I hope it can be googled.

    ... Hafiz with some liberties.... `While the terrified insist on feeling nothing... Seeing nothing, hearing nothing. They believe to take one side.... terror filled.. cause more troubles. Raise a question about 'issues'... Bring a charge of false facts. *There is a small influential group hypocrites, and a lost group of moderates. While the majority insist to not feel... anything.

    And this cause fear.

    Of false accusations,

    everyone hides behind a wall.

    Which full of holes, exposes...

    whispers to be heard, everybody?

    Inattentive, and believes he/she can be,

    full of self-control and is invulnerable.

    That this secret (lie) is safe and undisturbed,

    No one has comprehended or realized this :

    They/You/Me are under the ash and a fire is burning. Hafiz.
