The people of Afghanistan have been rioting in the streets, screaming anti-U.S. slogans , and killing American citizens ever since the unfortunate &#8220;Quran-burning incident&#8221; by the U.S. military on February 24th.   This two-week long binge of violent behavior and hatred toward America has been largely fueled by top officials within the Karzai regime and the powerful Council of Muslim Scholars.  ...]]></description>

We entered Afghanistan after 9/11 ostensibly to look for Osama bi Laden. Lo these many years later, we are as hated there by Afghan citizens as we were when we first arrived. To some extent, I can understand.
The Afghanistan citizens, both civilian and military, are furious with US troops who disposed of Qurans in a fire pit almost one week ...]]></description>

Over the last week the U.S. military officially pulled out of Iraq after almost ten years of war and occupation.  The last of the remaining combat troops and equipment were moved across the border to Kuwait, and loaded on board vessels for the trip home to America.  There were no triumphant  speeches from American politicians, nor were there jubilant celebrations ...]]></description>

Many football fans  (especially those who live in the Cleveland area)  may recall that  fateful evening, not so long ago, when Art Modell, the owner of the Cleveland Browns, packed up his equipment in the middle of the night and moved the team to Baltimore.   Although Modell had the legal right to move the team to another city, he also ...]]></description>

On Friday, October 7, the United States reached  grim milestone. This date marked the ten year anniversary of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan.  During this period of time over 1,700 American service men and women have been killed,  thousands more have been wounded and maimed, and the cost to the taxpayers has exceeded one trillion dollars.  In addition to American ...]]></description>

After the American Revolution was fought and won, the representatives of the thirteen colonies met in Philadelphia to decide how the Articles of Confederation could be changed to provide for a more effective federal government.  At that time in American history the thirteen states were operated more like thirteen separate countries than one nation;  each with its own set of ...]]></description>

Sometimes it&#8217;s difficult to comprehend that it has been almost twenty years since President George H. W. Bush first sent American fighting forces to Iraq.   Although Saddam Hussein&#8216;s  army was very quickly defeated, and Iraq&#8217;s occupation army was removed from Kuwait, the  American &#8220;war effort&#8221; continued in one form or another.  For at least ten of the twenty years  of ...]]></description>

Few people would dispute that 2011 has not been a really  good year for the concept of  &#8220;peace on Earth&#8221;.   Popular rebellions have spread across North Africa, from Tunisia and  Sudan to Egypt and Libya. The Middle Eastern countries of Bahrain, Syria, Yemen and Jordan have also experienced violence and social unrest brought about by years, even decades, of oppression ...]]></description>

In this case the concept of Habeas Corpus has apparently been permanently suspended due to ...]]></description>

Once again, a line seems to be drawn in the sand between Congressional Democrats and Republicans.  This time the issue is what to do about U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan, and when to do it.  Things were certainly not made any better by former Vice-President Cheney&#8217;s accusation that Obama was &#8220;dithering&#8221; in making a decision.  To their credit, Republican leaders Orrin Hatch ...]]></description>

One of the few things that is predictable about Osama Bin Laden is that he will deliver an address to the &#8220;American People&#8221; every year, right around September 11.  This year is no exception.  On Sunday, two days after the eighth anniversary of al-Qaeda&#8217;s infamous attacks on The World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon, Bin Laden reminded Americans that the ...]]></description>
