"As the World (Stomach) Turns"

     My Muse has returned, and boy is she MAD; I have several things on my heart and mind today, I will open several cans of worms (and maybe some whip-ass as well). No comments or remarks made today are intended to favor or blame any political, religious or social group over another, Regardless of political persuasion , religious belief or social or cultural group we share equal blame.
   
            These observations have been festering for sometime and cover a number of issues.

MIDDLE EAST- This "revolution" is not necessarily good, we must be mindful of who wins control of these countries, "power to the people" is not always good if it is the wrong people with the power. We cannot choose for them but we can and must respond to what ever choice they make a make it abundantly clear what our response will be if they choose leaders who will further destabilize the area.
     Much is being said about the influence of the "Muslim Brotherhood" before one becomes too excited about the "reemergence" of this group I suggest you Google it.Many of you may be tired of my consistent references to Nicoli Machiavelli but you may want to check him out also.

AFRICA- North Africa is in chaos,Egypt, Libya,The Sudan, Ivory Coast we (America) have ignored problems there for the far too long. We are preoccupied with our own myriad of problems. My pet peeve and heartbreak in this region is Somalia which as not functioned as a country since the very early 90's.
     It is a collection of 'fiefdoms' and 'sheikdoms' run by beggars, thieves and murderers. [note; the first three countries mentioned and Somalia, are all Muslim states]. In 1993 the US Military attempted to assist in feeding starving people in that region who showed their gratitude by first, burning the rations they were given, because they did not like them and then murdering 19 of your countrymen and hacking them up and dragging their bodies through the streets [remember "Black Hawk Down"] . The deaths of these brother Rangers and others was not avenged because we did not "know" who to punish. I would suggest that several B-52 strikes would exact punishment and cure the pirate problem as well.["grab'em by the B###s their hearts and minds will follow"] Four Americans were just slaughtered on board their own boat.
EUROPE- The link is to a game and that is what Europe has become , the EU is a joke. It's leaders hapless and a violent up surge in fascist philosophy is everywhere.  Every time a crisis exists our allies, except a few, give only lip service to our efforts and commit no material assets or man power. They have forgotten the investment made by Americas and the thousands of our dead who rest in their soil. We have fought their wars, paid their bills and forgiven their debts, as have they.

I AM NOT DONE, EXCEPT FOR TODAY- WESTERN HEMISPHERE AND THE FAR EAST, HERE I COME- SOON
