Liberal Democrats failed Tuesday to inject a government-run insurance option into the proposed health care legislation. It is disappointing for those who gave their faith to the Democrats and President Obama to change things in Washington. If Democrats fail to deliver affordable health care to each American, they risk losing everything in the next elections. [...]
The family is like the forest: if you are outside, it is dense; if you are inside, you see that each tree has its own position.
A man who is trampled to death by an elephant is a man who is blind and deaf.
Despite the tough talk of President Obama and his European allies about Iran, once again President Ahmadinejad and his regime have fired test missiles to show their “muscles” and show that Iran is prepared to head off any military attack. Many questions crossed my mind this morning when I heard the news. Being stubborn can [...]
Ignorance doesn’t necessarily kill you but it makes you sweat a lot.
This week we had a little break from health care debates. It is time to look back and realize how passion combined with ignorance can lead to extremism. Looking back to the “tea-bag madness” on health care in Washington, I realized that many of those who protested that day did not know why they were [...]
You cannot be a mouse and bat at the same time.
Muammar Ghaddafi, the Libyan leader, has succeeded in stealing the attention at the U.N. General Assembly. This man is the real good change that the world wants to see. Moving from sponsoring terrorism to a peaceful state is a positive move that states like Iran should follow. In his speech at the U.N. he pointed [...]
No attention is paid to him who is always complaining.
At the U.N. General Assembly, most of the world leaders have spoken. President Ahmadinejad of Iran has spoken, too. Iran, the state sponsoring terrorism in present and the past, has basically the same attitude as a whiner. Even though some of their complaints are legitimate, the government of Iran has chosen the side of those [...]
One who enters a forest does not listen to the breaking of the twigs in the brush.
The US may be on the path of losing the war in Afghanistan. The chance of winning is too little if the president does not listen to General McChrystal, who is asking for more troops. How can you win a war in Iraq or Afghanistan, two countries who are neighbors with Iran? Definitely, Iran does [...]
Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion.
The latest terror threats in New York remind us that the enemies of America are not sleeping. The most shocking is that those who seek shelter in the US, and then try to put this country down. How it is possible to argue against racial profiling when the US government is at war against certain [...]
The chief of village does not see the devil.
The erosion of civility in American politics is depressing. The health care reforms have given an excuse for extremists to show their “disapproval” of being governed by a president of color. When former President Jimmy Carter pointed out the racist character of the protesters in Washington D.C. last week, as usual, many people have reacted, [...]
The disease dies with you when you die.
Death has stolen one of the most known actors of his generation: Patrick Swayze. It is frustrating and it is sad. Pancreatic cancer took him away from his family, his friends, and his fans all around the world. He was only 57 years old. Though of little comfort, the Bangala of Congo say, “The disease [...]
A man who hides a thorn in his foot earns a swelling.
Eight years after the US invasion of Afghanistan, the US still did not found Osama bin Laden. More and more voices are raising against a war that the Americans are not winning. Slowly but surely, the US army is losing where the Soviets with heavy machinery too had failed. The US is stuck between two [...]
