Unbelieveable

This old world continues to be assaulted by the little minds of man.

Syria’s beleaguered President Bashar al-Assad may be thinking of using chemical weapons upon his people. Evidence of chemical weapon movement has been detected. President Obama warned Assad that the world is watching and he would be held accountable.

I’m not sure why we, the civilized world, even allow the situation to get to this point where the desperation of those in waning power think the widespread killing power of chemicals or advanced and superior weapons will sustain their rule.

Then there is the dichotomy of killing and the proverbial question. Why is it OK to kill with bullets and bombs, but chemical kills engender all kinds of warnings?

I am disposed to support Israel, but I am also critical of its two recent Israeli strategic decisions; more settlements on the West Bank and withholding tax revenues destined for the Palestinian Authority. Israel is pee-ode at the United Nations for approving Palestine to an observer state status.

House Speaker John Boehner continues his obstinacy to compromise so does President Obama. When will both sides cease the brinkmanship and make a deal? Get it done Washington or get out of office. This Congress is a blot on governmental history.

The Huffington Post’s United Kingdom edition has reported the Bristol University’s Christian Union, a Christian society, bans women from speaking at meetings unless their husbands are present. It’s not new. Apparently the rule has been in existence for several years, but has recently emerged.

Good grief folks, we are in the 21^st century. It’s bad enough in Saudi Arabia, but not in England.
