On the Threshold of a Disaster…Part II

This is the second part of Caroline Glick’s article. It illustrates the point I made in yesterday’s post, namely that the once exemplary Israeli focus and resolve has waned. She also makes reference to the ‘human shield’ argument, which goes like this: since Bushehr has been fuelled, an attack now... Sign in to see full entry.

On the Threshold of a Disaster…

My very first post in his forum, four-and-a-half years ago, dealt with an issue that did not receive the public’s attention it would have deserved: Iran’s determination to become a nuclear power. I was convinced at the time that it was almost too late even then, unless Iran could be stopped by... Sign in to see full entry.

Jihad: "As American as Apple Pie"…

While Iran is firing up its first nuclear power plant; as Ahmadinejad is announcing proudly that Iran now has developed an ‘Ambassador of Death’; while the Taliban, far from being defeated, are gaining in Afghanistan; while Somalia is rapidly turning into another haven and development base for...

“Obama Throws Support Behind Controversial Islamic Center”

This post's title is the headline of a CNN piece. Apparently, Obama gave a speech, and said, among other things, “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.” Now, I don’t have much time tonight, so I will be short and reply thusly: “Those are fine sentiments, Mr....

Obliterating History...

Do American (and, for that matter, Canadian and European) parents know what’s being taught in many of the schools they send their kids to each day? In some cases they may, in many they don’t. And that’s a pity, because the consequences of such ignorance may be devastating… For there are forces at... Sign in to see full entry.

Is America Arming Israel’s Enemies? Part II

Here’s the rest of Caroline Glick’s article. And again I must ask: are American’s aware of the administration’s policies in the Middle East? C. G.: ‘THEN THERE’S Centcom’s “internal stability.” For the past four years, in open breach of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which set the terms for... Sign in to see full entry.

Is America Arming Israel’s Enemies? Part I

As you know, I have not been around much, which does no mean that I have not been paying attention to matters that concern me. And in reading this article by Caroline Glick in the Jerusalem Post, I asked myself how many Americans might be aware of what she’s discussing here. And it also occurred to...

On Muslim Science…Part II

First things first: I strongly suggest that you take a look at gapcohen’s latest post, found here: http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Mals_musings/664810 Next, a few remarks about some of the comments to Part I. They were interesting in several respects, and prompt me to make a few general... Sign in to see full entry.

On Muslim Science…Part I

One of the stranger things one can read these days are the musings by various Islamic writers who have taken it upon themselves to constantly remind the world of the past accomplishments of Muslim philosophers, mathematicians and scientists. But what really got me thinking about these issues is the... Sign in to see full entry.

Shocking Revelations about ObamaCare…

As I have said before on numerous occasions, I do not comment on internal US politics. But, not being terribly religious, I don’t want to be religious about that either, and hence I do occasionally make exceptions. This is one of those occasions. It came about because, while researching something... Sign in to see full entry.
