On my way to work the other morning I passed through a small village and although it was a nasty morning, cold and raining hard, the streets were lined with people and American flags. I understood why when I saw the banner that said "Welcome Home Pfc - We will always remember". A few miles outside the village I saw approaching me the procession bringing this 21 year olds body home and pulled over to the side of the road to honor the fallen boy. As I sat there, tears running down my cheeks, silently saluting this young man, I couldn't help wonder one simple thing - Why?
I believe Professor Cole sums it up perfectly in this piece with a single sentence;
"Just as the poor in any society often join the military as a way of moving up in the world, so in the century of Asia, the U.S. could find itself in danger of being reduced to the role of impoverished foot soldier fighting for others’ interests..."
America, led by small-minded, greedy people is dying before my eyes. And I just don't know what to do about it.
If Graham is indeed, as I suspect, angling to get on the 2012 Presidential ticket with his warmongering, I wonder if even his apparent willingness to slaughter millions of innocent Muslims/Iranians would be enough to overcome the deep seated and unbridled hatred of homosexuals which to a large degree drives the Republican primary voters he would need to win over.

Amen brother.
Of course only a few Americans will remember that is the day 5 robe wearing traitors selected/declared George W Bush king of America.
Truly a day that will live in infamy...

Personally, I doubt it.

"President Obama absolutely must fire McChrystal for subordination. "
The good professor apparently hasn't caught on to how this works yet.
If McChrystal was attacking BarryO from the left he would have undoubtedly been fired the nano-second word of this article leaked.
As it is McChrystal is attacking from the right, which no doubt means BarryO will soon attack Iran so as to prove his right-wing meddle.
And no, this isn't hyperbole...
