Sunday Images and Thoughts

Stand with Israel rally in London.


Daily Pundit opines on the strength of libertarian thought with regards to Iraq. I would agree that a true "small government" theorist can support the invasion of Iraq as a means of self-defense against a coalition aligned against our country. I would also agree that we have suffered a long "nation building" process. Maybe we should learn something from Israel? Get in, destroy the infrastructure, and then get back out.

Or, maybe not, because we are the world's only leaders. Someone has to care enough to create a government. Someone has to care enough to create an economy. Someone has to care enough to introduce the Iraqi's to Christ. Democracy, Capitalism, Religious Freedom ... those are the beacheads of the Bush Doctrine.

Scatterchat will allow dissidents in China and North Korea and Venezuala and Cuba to communicate secretly without the government looking over their shoulders.

As gasoline prices creep above $3.00 and make a move to $4.00 over the next six months, who is it that is making all the profits? Exxon? BP? Shell? Not really, they are making a good profit, but the truth is that Islamic countries are making all the big dollars. Do we want that much money in their hands?

Do you find it interesting that all these refugees from Lebanon are going to Cyprus? Just three years ago the nation of Cyprus was wracked with violence and vitriole as east and west argued about who would run the country. Have they changed their ways?
