Old thinking

There is this school of thought in America which has become dangerous because it's not fluid.  Ideology must adapt with the times. Our world changes, thus our ideology must adapt with the new variables.  
The thinking has been we must protect Israel because they are surrounded by enemies.  This is well and true, but in the last two years Israel has isolated itself from the majority of the world at a high risk for it's future security and consequently the future security of America.  In global world, Israel is building walls.  When the walls of tyranny are falling down all around them, Israel will become the last practitioner of tyranny.  

How can a culture stereotyped for being business minded, be so blind to the economic benefits of peace? The middle east countries all
around them are evolving into democracy and capitalism. This should create new economies which Israel should be able to thrive in.
However Israel is stuck in the idea of placating or opposing selfish dictators who are no longer in charge. Make the deal now before you
lose all your leverage.

Bill Clinton Redux

ADDED LATE
GUESS WHO MARRIED THIS IDIOT TO HIS WIFE; BILL CLINTON!!!!! You can't make this stuff up.

I couldn't care less about Wiener, in fact I hadn't even paid attention to it until this morning. Apparently I am not twitting properly.
What is amazing is the scandals of all these men in power doing stupid things. Who said stupid doesn't succeed?  Seems in the last 15 years the world has rewarded idiots.  I think it started with Bill Clinton.  The pioneer of stupid politician.
So is it a coincidence, this Wiener gets caught in a scandal, then goes on television and lies.  Then claims it shouldn't effect his job performance.  Really?  Your decision making is not a part of your job description.  Now he is going to play semantics with words.
The kicker: his wife is the chief assistant of.....wait for it..... Hillary Clinton!
I can just see Bill giving this guy advice.  Lol.

Remembering Jack

Today a brave courageous, saint of a man died.  Jack Kervokian passed away at the age of 83.
Jack defied the culture and tradition to bring compassion to those who needed it the most.  
It is fate this week I watched a Bollywood movie called Guzaarish which was about a man petitioning an Indian court for the right to end his suffering.
What made Jack a man I respected is the fact he never profited from his cause. In this notoriety driven age, he was about a cause and like Ali he went to jail for his convictions.   
The justice of Allah will usher Jack to the thrones of heaven today for the cruelty and unjust treatment of the American justice system.
Rest in peace, Allah will be with you.
