Handguns and the Second Amendment

Republicans do not constitute “A well regulated Militia,” and armed individuals alone are not necessary to the security of our free State: the Military, National Guard, FBI, police departments and The Supreme Court have been assigned that role.

PTSD Psychotic Soldier Kills Afghan Civilians: SEQUEL

PTSD is mental illness. Mental illness may be psychosis.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The unfortunate act of Sgt Bales in Afghanistan is horrible in the extreme but it was not only expected but preventable. Infantry Sgt Bales is/was a gung ho soldier by any measure. I was an infantry Private under the likes of Sgt Bales and know a real soldier when I see or hear about one.

He did three tours in Iraq performing excellently and getting head wounds and part of his foot shot off. After all that, getting sent back into a hot combat zone was totally irresponsible.

It's usually accompanied by little food or water, and virtually none of the small mercies of normal life.

Sri Lankan and Pakistani Intelligence Scheme Against Eelam Tamils

Pakistan is directly involved for the first Time in the act of devastating Tamils.

(LONDON TBC) - It has come to limelight that the Sri Lankan Intelligence Agency has been relentlessly hatching diabolical plots with dark intent to ensure the Eelam Tamils should never have a conducive link with India.

It is disheartening to know that the Sri Lankan Government have chosen to our great shock a few knee crooking Eelam Tamils and fielded them in many regions in Europe to implement their dark design.

Guardian: This was a Proper Piece of Journalism

A depressing, numbing film that rang on long after the final credits rolled.

(LONDON Guardian UK) - Channel 4 followed up last year's damning investigation into the brutal endgame to civil war there.

Focusing on four events, this harrowing film, again presented by Jon Snow, uncovered new evidence about the extent of the atrocities – execution of prisoners including children, deliberate shelling of civilians and depriving them of food and medical treatment, like some kind of medieval siege.
