What a wonderful time to be the President of the United States! If you are President, you are king. You can spend a trillion dollars of other people's money and thousands of lives, to hunt down one personal enemy. You can do it in the name of freedom and democracy. Any who might get in your way will pat you on the back and say; "Go get em". You can do it in the name of God, which makes it good. King George looked upon all he had created and it was very good. "Woe unto those who call good evil ...

NGO's in places like Sudan, Somalia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Albania, and Zimbabwe have become the preferred venue for Western aid - both humanitarian and financial - development financing, and emergency relief. According to the Red Cross, more money goes through NGO's than through the World Bank. Their iron grip on food, medicine, and funds rendered them an alternative government - sometimes as venal and graft-stricken as the one they replace. Local businessmen, politicians, academics, ...

Their arrival portends rising local prices and a culture shock. Many of them live in plush apartments, or five star hotels, drive SUV's, sport $3000 laptops and PDA's. They earn a two figure multiple of the local average wage. They are busybodies, preachers, critics, do-gooders, and professional altruists. Always self-appointed, they answer to no constituency. Though unelected and ignorant of local realities, they confront the democratically chosen and those who voted them into office. A few of ...

Take hope all you people! Your great suffering has not been in vain. Many alive today will live to see the fulfillment of end time prophecies. That is, the end of the Old World Order, which has oppressed all the people of the world, even as it has rewarded its faithful servants.

It is one thing for Bush to announce democracy's extension into the Middle East as an expression of Western ideals'freedom, liberty, tolerance, ad nausea, ad infinitum'as a guise to buttress cheap oil prices and to further addict the world to the petrol-DOLLAR . . . it is quite another thing for Europe to rally its indifference, mediocrity and effete cultural pride to assail the Islamic hoards who, ...

'I have no priorities. I simply go on,' Gore Vidal told me in a Dec. 21, 2005 interview, 'I do what I think needs doing.' His 'doing' has resulted in a remarkable prolific career as a novelist, essayist, playwright, historian, and bold defender of the American Constitution and our republic. From this man, whom I have read and admired for many years, I sought an interview which would, to some degree, delve into personal thoughts, as well as touch on political matters. As he told me at the end ...

The colossus of Israel's Center-Right is no more. Sharon's cerebral hemorrhage, induced coma, and declared departure from Israel's political life have created a grave and vacuous ability for Israel to carry on viable negotiations with either the Palestinians or other belligerents.

Successors are no where to be found compared with the stature and ...
