There was a disturbing article in Bloomberg about the potential war with Syria. The President was quoted that if chemical or biological weapons are used or shifted, the US might have to intervene: “We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for [...]

I love former Undersecretary of State and UN Ambassador (I am surprised he can stomach the continuing nonsense in NY called the United Nations!) John Bolton. He’s a sovereignty man and although more interventionist than I am comfortable with, Ambassador Bolton puts America first, last and always. I hope President Mitt Romney appoints Bolton to [...]

I am thankful for Ron Paul, otherwise I fear there would be no mainstream voice against continued intervention around the world. I am very worried that we will intervene in Syria. The results will be the same as in Iraq and Libya: There will be unintended consequences, Al-Qaeda or other terrorist groups will intervene, and [...]

I like Senator Marco Rubio. He’s a rising star in the GOP. And Senator Rubio is still better than either President Obama or VP Biden. But his speech on foreign policy was terrible. It could have been written by Senator Lindsey Graham. That is no compliment. Here’s the text and some highlights, or maybe lowlights: [...]

Once again we are considering terrible reaction to what amounts to civil war in Syria. I am sure there are atrocities on both sides. Every bit of humanity cries out for intervention. My humanity, too! But it’s dangerous and as Ron Paul said last evening in the CNN debate (his best effort so far – [...]

We just cannot leave well enough alone! Here’s a scary and sobering article that shows exactly what happens when we meddle in the Middle East: Followers of Jesus Christ face persecution and death: The Christian community in Syria has been hit by a series of kidnappings and brutal murders; 100 Christians have now been killed [...]

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week, carved eternally in the records of cyberspace. There has been a great deal of coverage of events in Libya and Egypt, probably because the Obama Administration has been heavily involved in seeking regime change there. But there has [...]
