Is Libya all about the oil?

March 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

QuestionsView Results That’s not my poll, but it’s a dead-on appropriate question.  Obama says it’s about the intended genocide Khadafi threatened.  Well, that’s been going on unabated in Yemen, Sudan, and several parts of Africa.  What’s so special about Libyans that other Africans don’t merit?

Armenia: Sacrificing the future to dwell on the past

March 5th, 2010 | No Comments

“Two years ago, I criticized the Secretary of State for the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, after he properly used the term ‘genocide’ to describe Turkey’s slaughter of thousands of Armenians starting in 1915. … as President I will recognize the Armenian Genocide.” Sounds simple enough.  Sounds nice enough.  Only problem is [...]
