Just trying this out. I will have comments on different issues and I like to post quotes from our founders and others that pertain to today's issues.
Here is one of my favorites. !!
"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" --Samuel Adams
Also here is an excellent article and perspective on the war in the Middle East
