What Role Should Government Have?
This financial crisis is a good case study for discussing what role the government should have in our lives. Republicans generally believe that government should have as little role as possible. T...

Iraqi Shiite Family Feud
There is a simmering family feud in Iraq between the Sadr and Hakim families. Both families claim to descend from prophets. Both families represent huge Shiite voting blocks. The Sadr family has a lot of influence in the poor areas of Baghdad and in many other areas of Southern Iraq. The Hakim family leads the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council. Both families are trying to claim power in the new Shiite government of Iraq. Both families have young family members in their 30's who are leading their… Continue

Bush Wants War With Iran
All you have to do is listen to the President to realize he is preparing the American public for a war with Iran. My belief is that a war with Iran has been the goal of many American political leaders since the islamic revolution kicked out the American supported dictator in the late 1970's. Just as in Iraq, the real reasons for war will not be the reason given for going to war. The President knows the American public will not support a war based on the idea that we should use military force t… Continue

Starting Wars With A "Trigger Event"
Many of our past wars have been based on false information. Usually, there is a desire to go to war and then our leaders find some sort of "trigger event" to start the war. The trigger event doesn't need to be real, it just needs to be able to sell the public on a reason to go to war. Usually the trigger event is an easy sell because the public has been prepared for war. Public officials make statements and warnings about the country they desire to invade. The media runs stories about the count… Continue

I Don't Think Market Value Can Be The Only Value In Our Society
I think all of our values should be considered in our decisions - both personal and as a society - and I think the rule of one value over our decisions has problems associated with it. So I guess my thesis is that I like market value, but I don't think it can be the only value considered in our personal and community decisions. First, I really do love market value. I'm an entrepreneur getting first hand experience in the open market. The market is based on the universal standard of math allowi… Continue

The Sunni Civil War
I think we should start calling the War on Terror what it really is - The Sunni Civil War. In order to maintain access to oil in the Middle East, the United States has been allied with the Sunni governments of Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Some people in these Sunni countries don't like their governments for various reasons. In their fight against their own governments, Sunni movements such as the Salafist al-Qaeda have attacked both their own Sunni governments and the governments' American supporter… Continue

War With Saudi Arabia?
There is almost no chance we will go to war with Saudi Arabia. The Bush Family has a close relationship with the Saudi Royal Family and the Saudi Royal Family sells a lot of oil to Americans. A lot of the "terrorists" we keep hearing about are Saudi citizens who hate the repressive and wealthy Saudi Royal Family along with their American supporters. Most of the hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. They are attacking the United States and the Saudi government because they want to be led b… Continue

Globalization According To What Value?
We are in the age of globalization. Economic globalization is leading to a global market. Scientific globalization allows the sharing of ideas across all borders. Cultural globalization can be witnessed when we visit someone's blog from half a world away. As we begin to make decisions on a global scale, what values are we using to make the decisions? In some parts of the world, all decisions are made by one person. Decisions are also being made in democratic ways. No matter how the decisi… Continue

Citizen Access, Citizen Interest
I was watching CSPAN this morning and there was a reporter on who was asked what has changed most in Washington D.C. through his 35 years as a reporter. I expected him to say that money had a larger influence or that there was now more partisanship. However, what he said is that technology has allowed more access and interest in the political process starting with CSPAN decades ago and continuing now with the internet. This is great news. He said Washington D.C. used to be much more of a pri… Continue

We Have The Ability And Power To Live In Peace
We have the ability and power to live in peace. First - We have the ability to live in peace because we make the decisions that influence our future. War is not our human nature - it is just one of the options for action we have to choose from. Millions of people now live in peace - even if they once brutalized each other. We continue to discover new ways to connect with each other to share our hopes, dreams, and discoveries into how we can live in peace. We have the ability to live in peace.… Continue

We Are Headed In The Right Direction
I was talking with a friend the other day who was very distraught about the world we live in and about the War in Iraq. I certainly agreed with his assesment about the bad things that are happening in the world today, but instead of joining his frustration, I told him that when we look at the big picture, things are getting better. I told him that we have fewer kings and dictators in the world now compared to 100 years ago. I told him how we now have the ability to connect with people from all… Continue
