Ukraine and the West
I wrote this a while ago, but I tried to update it from what I wrote more than a year ago. In Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, the opposition party to the President proposed passing a law that makes it so they don’t join NATO, a western military pact that is dominated by the U.S. Instead they would join the Cooperative Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) the Russian Federation’s equivalent of...

Last year as the BP oil spill was going on, two senators stepped up and created an interesting bill to amend environmental legislation to stop another oil spill in the future. As people grumbled about the damage caused by the sinking of the BP platform, the Deepwater Horizon, two Senators in Congress, Max Baucus from Massachusetts and Senator Barbara Boxer of California used this period of anger...

– Joseph Rotblat says this clearly and what he says is still true now. Since it is a legal commitment, the world needs to follow in those footsteps.

Nuclear Summit and Disarmament
This was written in April 2010, so it is a bit dated. On Tuesday, in Washington D.C. the bad traffic slowed as world leaders left feeling they had accomplished something. The traffic around Washington D.C. had been bad for 2 days because massive security including closing numerous streets due to nuclear summit to protect the world leaders. The streets were opened on Tuesday after the summit ended....

Scared of Iran: The West backs off
In 2009, Iran accused the United States of meddling in its election affairs. The U.S. didn’t really meddle in Iran’s election. We just stood by and are still standing by watching beatings and shootings occur in Iran every day. Now to get to the real issue. Ahmenijhad supposedly won the election with a landslide and his opponent Moussavi. But this can’t make sense because a lot of...

“An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war.”
– Quote of Charles de Montesquieu (French Politician and Philosopher, 1689-1755). That empire is what the United States is. That is why we are in war all the time. It sustains our country supposedly. It satisfies our desire for conflict.

vk-kanaye asked: I think that, what the United States needs in its president, is a person that will not capitulate in what he thinks it's right for the represented people and what he/she strongly believes in. Adversaries may not look eye to eye on certain topics, but there will be a certain degree of respect towards that person for always fighting in what he believed in.

My new perception of slavery
I have now realized that slavery caused many problems including whites being racist toward blacks and affecting the balance of the North and South. The South was in a sense always enslaved to the North, having to churn out goods that needed to be put into textiles or materials needed for manufacturing. Alexis de Tocqueville, when he came to America, observed first hand this division of...

How the tensions between the North and South Could...
The Northern and Southern regions of America disliked each other for years leading up the Civil War due to heightened tensions in certain incidents such as the Ostend Manifesto and the war against Mexico. I believe we could have lessened tensions if we had not participated in some of these events or acted differently.
I’ll start with the Ostend Manifesto. The Manifesto was supposed to be a...

Opinion of Iraq and Afghanistan
My opinion of opposition to wars goes all the way back to 2007, when I wrote about the problem of the war in Iraq. I wrote this back in 2009. I think Representative Ted Kennedy’s blowout was not over the top. Mr. Kennedy is right that the news media is not covering the war in Afghanistan and Iraq as they should. Over 4,100 have been killed in the 7 year war in Iraq and less than 1,000 have...

Rapid transformation of the world economy
Economic restructuring is transforming the world economy at a rapid rate, especially in the last hundred years when a new division of labor domestically and abroad changed the socioeconomics structure of America, impacted socioeconomic structures of developing nations and forever changed how labor would be distributed across the world.
The new international division of labor caused change in the...

– Said by Morley, a co-founder of Human Events newspaper. This quote is so true and still applied today sadly. America has an empire and you can’t deny it. That is why we get into imperialist wars and have 700+ bases around the world.

According to the article, an undercover narcotics agent went into a house and bought methamphetamine (meth) from Afton Callahan. Then the agent signaled the...

I have been on a bit of fact finding mission to see what the three Progressive Parties have to say about themselves. I am thinking I may help these parties unite because its better to have one united party then separate little parties. Then they can field some advantage and have a stronger political base.

How should terror suspects be treated?
How should terror suspects be treated? That is my question and I am going to answer it. For, the past five years, the United States has held suspected terrorists at Guatanamo Bay, run by the U.S. Military. The Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) has held terrorists in once-secret prisons. Since 1954, the rules of the war have been understood. The Geneva Conventions were designed to...
