Syrian Powder Keg

A passing thought.

the War

A major world war is going on and we are on the side-lines. "Sectarian violence" is the code word for the bloody and explosive religious war between Sunnis and Shias. A war that none of our leaders or reporters dare name! Wow!

Syrian Update

Political correctness evolves and morphs into new fascistic controls on our language. ZPG (zero populations growth) used to be a politically correct goal. Then it became racist(??!?) and today you just don't hear the phrase.
Like the Religion of Peace.

"Obama's Choice"

"Sophie's Choice" is slang for having to choose between two unbearable choices. With Syria, Obama seems to have gotten himself into exactly that ...a real "Sophie's Choice".Yikes!

Head In The Sand

I scribbled this cartoon on the back of an envelope. Like Lincoln and the Gettysburg address? Anyway I liked the way it looked so I scanned it, stuck in a little sky-blue and a patch of yellow sand and posted it for you to see.

Changing Times

I believe that President Obama is wisely attempting to put together a new and important regional alignment in the Mideast.

...and, in my opinion, the Palestinian Charade is over.
