Terrorist organizations want the U.S. to be so frightened by them that the US elevates them by declaring war on them. Would the US declare war on an entity that wasn't challenging and threatening to the most powerful military nation in the world?

Without the massive wealth generated to the Saudis by oil, their oppressive and violent version of Islam could not have been exported across the region and Al Qaeda and ISIS would not have been birthed.

To the surprise of the British Pollsters Thursday's General Election wasn't even close. Cameron's Conservative (aka Tory) Party trounced Labour and saw its allied Liberal Democrats diminished even further. What does this mean for the United States' closest ally?

Thinking the unthinkable. As horrible as it is to think of this, the wise are doing just that.

When someone is shooting a lot of arrows at you, don't try to catch each arrow, take his bow away. In the next debate, Obama should attack Romney as untrustworthy and use each question or response to drive that point home. It won't matter what lies Romney tells if he's not believed.
