According to this article, terrorists openly admit that they're only using the cease fire as an opportunity to regroup and rearm. In fact, they haven't really ceased attacks against Israel, and they're continuing to smug...

A nation-state or a criminal-state?
(Preview)
I found this article to be interesting, particularly the description at the end of North Korea. The regime seems to be very much more than just a mere rogue nation-state... what's the word I'm looking for? Could it be Gadiantan-state?

I didn't see any discussions of this topic, so I thought I'd bring it up.

A new strategy for Iraq

The American people seem to want a new strategy for the Iraq front of the War on Islamofascism. The Bush administration seems to be recognizing that, with the change in leadership at the Pentagon. But what should our strategy be?

Well, now that the Democrats have control of the House at least, we are going to more quickly go towards a place where we don't want this country to be. What do you predict as a result of them controlling at least part of the Congress? Higher taxes? An Iraq pullout? Mandatory gay marriage for everyone?

Gay marriage in Arizona

Evidently, at the time I'm writing this, it's still unclear whether the constitutional amendment against gay marriage will pass in Arizona, but it's trailing a few points. That's a disappointment. It was a hard race in Colorado, but we did win it, and by a good margin.
So, Euphrasie, why couldn't y...
