Oh Pakistan, OH, OH!

Posted on May 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

One day the world will gaze in the direction of Pakistan and see a modern nation that is economically booming and people of all faiths live in peace. Heck, one will be able to walk at night with the family and not worry about being kidnapped. But, for the present, Pakistan has a new president. Nawaz Sharif, a devout Muslim just won an election and will replace President Asif Ali Zardari. In a nation convulsed by poverty and an inadequate education system, the first item on his agenda is drones.”Drones indeed our challenging our sovereignty.” Yes,it is a serious issue and it is time for America to cease abusing other nations.

But, the real issues are more complex. Even without drones, there are issues of(a)  ending the ongoing conflict with India in order to use money for economic development and education.(b) It is time to create a modern society. (c) It is time to negotiate a peace with the Taliban.

Do the above and the issue of drones will disappear.

Blame It On The Jews!

Posted on May 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The problem in being a Jew over the past two thousand years is that whenever people are upset at something or anything they simply turn to the ever available enemy-the Jew. Most Middle Eastern people are still convinced the Mossad was behind the 9/11 bombing. They are convinced that Israel agents are stirring up trouble in Egypt in order to discredit the beloved Muslim Brotherhood. A few days ago bombers blew up cars and killed dozens of people in a Turkish border town with Syria. Mihrad Ural, former leader of “Acilcier”- the Hasty Ones– claims that Israel agents did the bombing in order to disrupt the life of our wonderful Syrian leader, President Bashar al-Assad.

“Israel has an interest in this, since the Syrian army’s recent gansshow that Bashar al-Assad is here to stay.”Let’s face it, them Jews were behind the Boston Marathon Masscre!

Pakistan Democracy?

Posted on May 13, 2013 by | Leave a comment

An electiion was held in Pakistan. OK, some people died, but there was an election and the man who received the most votes did win. OK, so maybe he received some votes that  he did not really gain, but the election proceeded to a  logical conclusion. Imran Khan, whose new party secured 30 seats accepts the triumph of Nawaz Sharif even though there was evidence of voter fraud. Khan did make clear his party would issue a formal complaint about vote rigging, but it is clear that Sharif did obtain a majority of the votes.

What is the end result of this election? Nawaz Sharif is now the prime minister. He can do something. Of course, the question is what will he do. Frankly, if Jesus Christ himself got elected there would still be chaos in Pakistan and violence would continue. No candidate offered a plan, no candidate has a clue to end violence. Four more years of death and destruction and continued poverty.

Impeach The President

Posted on May 12, 2013 by | Leave a comment

From day  one that Barack Obama became president there has been a  non-stop effort on the part of Republicans to impeach the black dude.

1. He was born in Africa and therefore not eligible to become president.

2. He hates America and how can someone who hates America be president?

3. He supports terrorists who seek to destroy America.

4. He hates job creators and thus is sending our nation to ruin.

5. He is responsible for the huge debt in this country.

6. He attended a church whose minister hates America.

7. He hates Fox News which is grounds for impeachment.

So, impeach the black dude and get it over with.

Election In Iran

Posted on May 12, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The people of Iran will h old an election in June to decide the name of their new president. We know that current President Ahmadinejad will not run. We do know the United States  believes in elections and welcomed the recent one in Egypt when  Mr. Morsi controlled vote tallies to ensure victory for the Muslim Brotherhood. The US accepted that outcome. The election in Iran will  witness manipulation of vote counts, but  it is a certainty the US will not recognize this unfair tactic. Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani is a conservative who does enjoy support from moderates in the nation. It is unclear whether the Guardian Council will allow him to run. Even more unclear if they will allow him to win if he does win the most votes.

The only certainty is the US will denounce the Iran election while it accepts the Morsi election outcome. When Americans hate, they hate.

Syrian Nights–And Days

Posted on May 12, 2013 by | Leave a comment

As I recall, it was just a few months–or years  ago-that war broke out in Syria and the killing fields began to fill up with bodies. President Bashar al-Assad returned to his policy of murdering anyone who dared to oppose his rule. People drifted into Syria from other areas of the Middle East, they were given arms by Saudi Arabis or Qatar or Kuwait and the killing accelerated. President Obama just wanted to see the  last American soldiers leave the Middle East–for good- and he stood down from killing. Yesterday, suicide bombers killed 28 in Turkey and that nation is angry and wants to kill someone, but really does not want to kill enough people to get their nation involved in the killing fields of Syria.

There will be protests, there will be accusation, some Republicans in Congress will demand American forces to be sent into Syria while other Republicans will denounce President Obama for getting involved. At this point in time, no one is certain as to who are the good or bad guys or the guys caught in the middle.

Now, if anyone wants to end the slaughter in Syria, hire someone to publish a book that contains blasphemy and we can all focus on that  key issue.

Pakistan Election

Posted on May 12, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The good news  from Pakistan is they had an election. The bad news from Pakistan is they had an election. Nawaz Sharif, head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Party won about 11 seats which should qualify them to head a government once final totals are in. Mr.Sharif  once was the prime minister of the country and he should once again assume that position. Of course, it is simply a matter of time before he is asked to leave that position and take a holiday trip to some nice western country. Glamor boy Imran Khan won about 35 seats and he should  have the power to do something in Parliament.

OK, so a dozen or so are dead, heck in the US that is simply the number who die when someone enters a movie theater. OK, the armed forces WILL allow Mr. Sharif to become head of the government. There was an election. The problem is that no party in Pakistan  has the slightest interest or any ideas to get the economy moving. Now, when it comes to dealing with major problems like blasphemy, there are many leaders who are ready to take action.

Land Or Peace?

Posted on May 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Once upon a time in Israel there were leaders whose main goal was the security of their nation and the second goal of peace with Palestinians. David ben Gurion or Golda Meier were willing to compromise to ensure the long term success of the nation of Israel. But, as secular minded Jews had fewer and fewer children,  religious Jews multiplied and gained increased political power. Then came, Benjamin Netanyahu, the grestest calamity to the people of Israel. For the first time in the history of Israel there is a Palestinian government prepared to compromise in order to resolve the conflict with Israel. Even as John Kerry persuades the Arab League to agree to the existence of Israel, the Netanyahu government announced new plans to build homes on the West Bank.

A compromise agreement WILL allow further building of homes on the West Bank. Instead of displaying patience, Netanyahu rushed to build and build. Almost 300 new homes will go up. And, along with these houses going up, hope for peace between Israel and Palestinians will go down. There simply is no reason -at this moment in time-for new houses.

Russia Believes What?

Posted on May 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Vladimir Putin is accustomed to having people with whom he is having a conversation understand that his ideas are the correct ones, so it is not unusual for him to confuse a guest in his house. Secretary of State John Kerry had extensive conversations with the Great Leader, and then Prime Minister David Cameron took a shot at working with the Great Leader to resolve the crisis in Syria. Both Cameron and Kerry came away from the discussion believing there might be a  transition process in Syria that would allow creation of a national government without President Assad. Alas, both western leaders now understand that even it a document was written and signed, whatever Putin says is so is so.

A new conflict in Syria. Frankly, who said what is among the least volatile conflicts raging in Syria. At this point in time, there are so many conflicts that it is  difficult deciding which rates number one on the list of  solving something.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Posted on May 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

His family came from an area in Russia where Muslim groups have been fighting with Russians for hundreds of years. His nation of Chechnya was brutally crushed by Russian forces and his family fled to one place after another in Asia and the Caucasas. In one sense, this boy was connected to Russia, and in another sense they were his sworn enemies. He was a Muslim, he arrived in the United States hoping to create a new life far away from the violence of his youth. Dzhokhar quickly integrated himself into the American world ranging from wrestling to music to pop culture. He had friends at high school and in college. Those who m et him regarded the boy as one who was becoming an American in dress and thought.

Somewhere along the path of his young life other voices began to echo in his  head. They preached about hate and violence. Some blame his brother, some his mother, some the mysterious “Misha,” an Armenian convert to Islam.  We can speculate, but until this boy speaks we really do not know what happened. It is a story of change and a story of hatred consuming a human heart.
