Love, Hate, Forgiveness, Revenge and Bert

Practically speaking, this is a case where retribution has no place. I will have to choose forgiveness or poison myself with anger.

(NAYARIT, Mexico) - Bert was a mapache... a raccoon. A couple from a nearby town rescued Bert and his brother after their mother was hit by a car. Their eyes were still closed and they were no bigger than newborn kittens.

Bert was killed two weeks ago. A man who had never seen him before and who could not have known that he was tame and a pet killed him with a rock to the head.

Military Action Against Gadaffi is Not the Solution

Bottom line: military action in Libya is not the solution nor is it the solution in Afghanistan/Pakistan or Iraq.

(SEOUL, Korea) - The no fly zone has allowed America and the coalition forces to attack Gaddafi forces, if Gaddafi retaliates with NATO causalities this can very possibly lead to a full scale war and Libya can very quickly become the next Iraq, but even worse than Iraq and will become a terrorist breeding ground, allowing Terrorist groups to Network from Libya and attack Israel.

Israel will become the biggest causality of this ridiculously stupid move by the UN approving a no fly zone.

Recalling the Battle: History Repeats Itself on the 8th Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq

Looking back at the Baghdad airport battle in early April, 2003.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The U.S. preoccupation with the impending threat of Iraqi nuclear weapons was just another form of misinformation to rattle the American public.

Europe Turns Against Israel

It is embarrassing how lame academia has become.

(LONDON) - A German think-tank affiliated with the Social Democratic Party issued a new report last week that revealed “high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany, Poland and Hungary.”

A researcher from the University of Bielefeld told The Jerusalem Post that the study showed a strong presence of anti-Semitism linked with Israel and is hidden behind criticism of Israel, and is not neutral.

No-Fly Zone to Stop the No-Flow of Oil in Libya

These revolutions are the embodiment of the saying “power to the people”...

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - History is now unfolding swiftly in the Arab world it practically outpaced and deviated from the expectations of all observers and policy makers in the region and internationally.

For centuries the Middle East has been the theater for political changes usually brought about by foreign and world powers.

Gaddafi`s Fake Supporters and Fake Casualties of Western Air Strikes

Painful truths about the conflict raging in Libya.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Libyan police reports about casualties from the western air strikes are a complete lie.

We do know that telephone and internet communications with Libya have been cut off by Libyan dictator Mu’ammar Gaddafi.

The West is Doing the Right Thing in Libya

Libya’s wellbeing can be safeguarded only by having a democratic, accountable government.

(LONDON) - As a Libyan who has witnessed at first hand how the Gaddafi regime evolved into its present murderous self, I can only welcome the start of this military action.

My only regret is that it did not take place earlier and thereby spare the lives of thousands of innocent civilians murdered by Gaddafi’s hired hands.

U.S. France and UK Launch Military Action Against Gaddafi Forces in Libya

U.S. weapons struck more than 20 integrated air defense systems.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - French news agencies report that air attacks were launched today against forces loyal to Col. Gaddafi in Libya.

We know that Libya's rebel stronghold of Benghazi came under attack on Saturday morning, and also that in spite of the decision of western nations to enforce a no fly zone, a Libyan warplane was shot down in flames as the rebel-held city of Benghazi was targeted by air strikes early on Saturday.

Battle for Libya

Battle against Gaddafi...

(PASO ROBLES, Calif.) - Here’s a thought that could more quickly put an end to the forces loyal to Gaddaffy against the insurgency:

Avoid the armament of pro-Gaddafi troops, and go after the source of their remuneration. If the pro-forces aren’t paid, I’ll bet they will stop fighting. It’s a rule among mercenaries; no gold, no fight! And that ought to open the flood gates for the insurgents to capture Tripoli with little or no further assistance from the International Community. Isn’t that what we really want?

Libya--To Invade or not to Invade: that is the Question

Why is the US so concerned with the plight of the Libyans when we recently killed over one million innocent Iraqis?

(JAMESTOWN, R.I.) - While the British have been caught red handed with a small contingent of military sneaking into Libya, the US continues to build up and get prepared for a military intervention as well.

One has to wonder why? The administration would argue that military intervention might be needed to protect the people of Libya; despite the rebels having made it abundantly clear on many recent occasions they do not want, or need outside intervention.
