Today many are wearing green to show visible support for those in Iran who are protesting the apparently stolen election. Our web site is normally white and red… we’ve put on green today to stand by those who treasure liberty.

It is interesting to note that while many in the US are advocating an overthrow of the current clerically over-ruled government system in Iran, reports seem to indicate that Iranians as a whole are perhaps not interested in an outright change in the system, just fairness in this election.

Iran’s history, especially with the United States, demands care in how our leaders address the situation. More on that later.

John Bolton gave a speech in February where he discussed the role of the U.N., the international community’s attempt to use the United Nations to manipulate United States foreign policy, its inability to carry out appropriate reforms that its leaders have tried to conduct… and the reforms it does put in place are worse (even [...]

You should probably expect to see the following happen in the US within the next few years.
In Great Britain, a high court justice has ruled that British Human Rights laws apply to soldiers while in combat, according to a report heard on Friday’s BBC NewsPod Podcast. While this may sound relatively benign on the [...]

I’m going to keep it simple.  Bush did a great job.  Clear well thought-out plans to address a number of our country’s current issues.  I’m sorry, and I know they’re paid to be Democrats and all, but do the Democrats had to act like they were just barely putting up with his presence?  Hillary looked like [...]

In a WSJ commentary this morning, John McCain and Joe Lieberman reflect on the anniversary of Bush’s announcement to implement the 2007 Iraq Troop Surge, and made an excellent case for the surge and for continued managed presence in Iraq, and for dependency on General Petraeus’ skills to reduce the troop levels appropriately in the [...]

From the WSJ:
Pakistani authorities announced that elections will be delayed until Feb. 18 because of unrest following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The vote had been scheduled for Jan. 8. Opposition parties alleged that authorities are postponing the polls to help the ruling party, which is allied to President Pervez Musharraf. [...]

This may be an interesting day.  DHS says this information is still unconfirmed. 
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Thursday citing an alleged claim of responsibility by al Qaeda for former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, a DHS official told CNN.But such a claim has not [...]

I was not surprised but I was not expecting to start my day like this.  Pakistan is going to be a mess.  Obviously, Bhutto was the target, and the others are collateral, but I didn’t want to minimize all of the lives lost in this action.
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan —Fox News- Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was [...]

In the Meet The Press interview on Sunday, after Russert plays Paul’s response on CNN regarding the Huckabee Christmas Ad, there is this exchange…
