But there are two things in particular that just drive me nuts every time he utters them. Comparing the Candidates: The War on TerrorThursday, September 11th, 2008by Mike Given the date, I thought it would be a good day to go over the differences between the two presidential candidates when it comes to The War on Terror. (If you were hoping that I’d discuss whether or not Senator Obama believes that Governor Palin is a barnyard animal, I’m sorry to disappoint.) [...] It’s Not About The WMDsWednesday, August 27th, 2008by Mike I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating as the Democrats gear up for Foreign Policy Day at their convention: the Iraq War was a bad idea for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with WMDs. Misplaced PrioritiesThursday, July 3rd, 2008by Mike Right now, the United States is an active participant in two civil wars: Iraq and Afghanistan.

An evil goal might be excessive power, excessive wealth, etc. An evil tactic might be violence, torture, etc. (Some would argue that the morality of the tactic is in large part defined by the goal–hence the phrase “the ends [...] Delusions of VictoryThursday, May 15th, 2008by Mike From a McCain Speech that he is expected to give today, as quoted by the New York Times: A Forgotten MinorityWednesday, May 7th, 2008by Mike There is an extremely interesting article in today’s New York Times, discussing the problems and challenges associated with Israel’s Arab minority. Twenty percent of Israel’s population is non-Jewish Arab, and this large minority has long been a problem for a state that has tried to cultivate a Jewish identity. Western media tends to [...] Foreign Policy HonestyTuesday, May 6th, 2008by Mike One of Obama’s first comments that really made me start leaning his direction was his statement that if he had “actionable intelligence” that pinpointed the location of Osama bin Laden within Pakistan, that he would attack even without permission from the Pakistani government. He was roundly criticized for that remark by other Democrats and [...] |
