Should Iran Be Attacked To Prevent Violence?

In the year 2000, it was observed that a new generation of Iranians, 20 years removed from conflict with the United States, were prepared to accept America as a peacefully co-existing entity.  Today, this has all changed. We have committed violence, and the goodwill of the world toward America, very much in evidence immediately after September 11th, 2001, has beensquandered.

Iran has not attacked another nation in 200 years.

Sins of the Father

Violence Follows Iraq, Afghanistan Vets Back Home

“Now who … would you like … to say goodbye to?” my father panted into my face. The chords stood out on his neck, his face the piercing red of rage, just inches above my own. I was pinned to the floor, scrawny beneath his adult brawn. He held a lethal-looking hunting knife tight across my throat. He was threatening to murder me for refusing to drink a beer.

  2012 not only marks a new beginning on the calendar it offically rings in the moment for great change. No matter what you are doing or what you currently think and believe this will be a year of waking up, adjusting and finding new ways of living or coping.

Republican Debates Far Cry From Valuable

Written by Sandra Marshall | 22 January 2012

Newt Gringrich is a bully. He lacks respect of the citizenry and sensitivity to those he once loved. This man is a cocky, conservative, with racist and sexist leanings.  His loud arrogrant attitude may make for a good show and rile up an audience of angry conservatives but it does nothing to bring our nation together. Is this what we want in a President?

The Republican debates have been a distraction from what needs to be addressed in America.  Imagine the money that has been spent. What's worse is the hours of air time spent to confuse and lie to voters. 

There are plenty of good Republicans out there, I'm married to one but this group of people lack what the party needs to win an election.  Of course if we are more interested in a

     The progressive left, supportive of democracy (government by We the People) and every of the encroachment of corporate power, hasawakened to the fact that the Federal Reserve – a quasi-private corporation– is not serving “We the People,” but the largest p
rivate banks.
