Middle-East Policy Overload
“The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.”
– George Washington, Farewell Address –
Yes indeed we have become a “slave” to our national leadership long “astray form its duty and its interest.” I am more convinced then ever before of the truth of it and well past the time for Americans to reconsider the posture which continues to drive this Nation into every-expanding global conflict; in fact I believe it is critical to a far greater issue: The survivability of the American Ideal.
Care to Dance?
“The sun had long since bid its parting adieu though its presence lingered in the canopy of stars; a soft evening breeze eases itself across the bay to fan the buckeye and maple trees which line the esplanade and though not immediate to his view the occasional scent of polish sausage and sauerkraut tethers one to the thought of a nearby vendor and his push-cart.
When Silence Speaks
In a recent interview I was asked the following question: “Looking at the presidential candidates, considering the economic crisis before us, which one strikes you as the best equipped to deal with this Nations problems?” I quickly responded, “Which one?”
It requires no great stretch of the imagination to be impressed by the many problems that require serious attention and to be quite honest, I observe no single Candidate offering any stand-out proposition in possession of a deliberate strategy or purpose; all I do hear is the predictable ambiguity of political hedging. Could it be that they simply don’t know? Or, even more troubling; could it be that winning the office is more about being successful at telling the Public something other than what they should or for that matter, need to know.
Civilian, Military & Conflict
It is somewhat serendipitous that the blunders of General Stanley McCrystal should surface at the present time. As a point of interest, they are profoundly emblematic of this Country’s internal conflicts both as to form and function. We have lost our National sense of clarity as to both of these, that is, as to form and function. In other words, what is our form of government and to what extent is it intended to function.
Thomas Jefferson, in his first inaugural address (1801) may provide a bit of understanding on the subject:

The Reinvention of The Rich Lie!
I must confess, I’m confused; I’m looking forward in to a future that seemingly has no sound prospects and, frankly, the conversation that needs to be had, is barely a whisper! Listening to the Poli-Cor-Speak of the non-economic versed politician, the dearth of coherent strategy is so completely absent, I believe one could hear mollusk hiccup!
The economic conundrum that the U.S. finds itself has been years in the making and transcends the terms of Administrations of both Parties though the controller of the purse-strings, the U.S. Senate, has largely been Democratic Party controlled for much of the period of malfeasance and under whose supervision, the abuses are the forms most severe. And, Mr. President, the U.S. is already bankrupt, financially, economically, industrial and political so don’t bother making the threat, it’s far too late!
