War is Good - For Business

The second most profitable business on planet earth is; preparation for war. The ones who profit most do the most to promote war; as counter intuitive as this may sound to all you other business people. If it were not so profit intensive it would surely be as capital destructive as it appears. Why would a business person destroy capital? Higher profits. If you do not accept my premise, I dare you to read on. First of an indefinite series.

Israel's Minimalist War

Israel failed to destroy Hezbollah as a fighting force because the Israeli government failed to adhere to the concept of total war.

A Structuralist Critique of the Liberal Point of View

Bush's Veto: A Profound Inversion of the Truth

By issuing the first veto of his Presidency, President George Bush snatched defeat from victory and shot down the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. In so doing, he ignored the will of the people, not to mention scientific and medical advice. That he did this in favor of the wishes of his questionable and dubious political advisors (Rove, Snow, etc) is all the more troublesome.

Welcoming Israel to the Club

Israel has just become a member of the club and it’s a grand thing for America to no longer be a majority of one. Now, the greatest military power in the world and the greatest military power in the Middle East have both come to grief against hotheaded, angry, religious martyrs, brandishing the weapons of our cold-war policy.

Lessons Still Not Learned; Hamas and Hezbollah

The common thinking (at least in this country) is that Hezbollah and Hamas are dedicated to the destruction of Israel and that al Queda is obsessed with the demise of America. Both surmisings are wrong and, because they are wrong, America is likely to find itself in an unending as well as an unwinnable conflict against terrorism within the Muslim world.

Protecting American Citizens from Domestic Enemies

An Exercise in Futility: the Impotence of the United Nations Security Council

The UN Security Council has proven time and again that it cannot produce anything more than meaningless resolutions with no enforcement power. Realist theory supports the idea that the members of the security council ultimately will act in their own best interests, disregarding what is good for the global community.

Has the UN Become Irrelevant?

The nuclear impasse with Iran will likely prove that the UN is an irrelevant body when it comes to dealing with significant global issues. The permanent five will not be able to agree on measures to take when Iran rejects the call to suspend uranium enrichment activities.

And The Winner Is

Less than 48 hours after the start of a tentative cease fire between Hezbollah and Israel, the U.S. President is publicly proclaiming winners and losers. Is he as stupid as he acts or is he just another dirty dog who can't resist rolling in a pile of crap? A message straight from my heart.

Hezbollah Won The War and Is Claiming Victory?

Pretty much everyone is claiming victory in the Hezbollah-Israel War. Even the United States is claiming a victory for Diplomacy, which is pretty much correct. Israel did not completely defeat Hezbollah and to do so they must address Iran and Syria, who both fund and support Hezbollah.
