Comment on: Calls for US military action in Syria ignore Americaâs inability to help - Opinion - The Boston Globe

Comment on: State Department sought to change Libya talking points - Politics - The Boston Globe
In fairness to the Globe this is not their story, it is an AP story. In typical AP fashion it starts off with a misleading headline. It states the State Department "sought" to change the talking point more »

Comment on: BC-BENGHAZI-HEARING-ART-1STLD-WRITETHRU-(TRIM)-NYT - Nation - The Boston Globe
One might possibly be able to excuse the initial inaccurate information coming from the White House due to the confusion of the situation. But there is no excuse for the inaccurate information that th more »

Comment on: Threat of jihadist-inspired homegrown terrorism remains small - Opinion - The Boston Globe

Comment on: On balance, the Iraq war was worth it - - Boston.com
OK, I can understand why editorial writers keep trying to put a positive spin on our various misadventures in these Islamic countries. I suppose it is a normal reaction in order to find some justifica more »

Comment on: The humanitarian catastrophe in Syria - Opinion - The Boston Globe
It's time for the OIC [Organization of the Islamic Cooperation] which is the largest voting bloc in the UN to step up and do something useful. Maybe they could take a break from pestering the rest of more »

Comment on: Boston drivers to their cars: Shut up and drive - Lifestyle - The Boston Globe
I remember when car radios were AM only, when there were outside rear view mirrors on the driver side only, when windshield wipers had one speed, when your left arm doubled as a turn signal, when you more »

Comment on: McCarthy: Clear choice for EPA - Opinion - The Boston Globe
I have never understood the obsession environmentalists have with power plants. My guess is that they are the last remaining industrial facilities with smokestacks. To an environmentalist a smokestack more »

Comment on: From a decade of war to a decade of diplomacy - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Diplomacy is fine, but it must be based on knowledge. At this point in our history the biggest threat we face is from resurgent Islam. Islam on the march. We not only have done nothing to increase our more »

Comment on: Sequestration? On the streets of Boston, it doesnât add up - Politics - The Boston Globe

Comment on: Hands off Mother Earth? - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Speaking as a person born in 1939 this is why I believe the current global warming hysteria is just so much hokum. Back in the day nearly every home in America had a coal burning furnace. There were s more »

Comment on: Diplomacy cannot solve the problem of terrorist regimes - Opinion - The Boston Globe
The problem is much deeper than Hamas. Hamas is just the tip of the spear so to speak. They are the front line shock troops, the media magnets. Behind Hamas is the ummah [worldwide community of Muslim more »

Comment on: Obama, Netanyahu relationship needs to be preserved - Editorials - The Boston Globe
In the end Israel is prepared to go it alone against the overwhelming Islamic forces that are theologically driven to annihilate their tiny nation. They would welcome any help that is offered, but if more »

Comment on: The âWar on Climate Changeâ is Entirely Accurate - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Here's an example of real climate change. About 25,000 years ago our little corner of the planet was submerged under a glacier. 25,000 years when measured against the life of the planet equates to lat more »

Comment on: Anti-Muslim ad unites diverse groups - Editorials - The Boston Globe
The ad doesn't mention Islam or Muslims but everyone jumps to the conclusion that it must be directed at that particular group. I wonder why people would get that impression. Maybe it has something to more »

Comment on: IKEA Gives Saudi Arabia a Pass - Editorials - The Boston Globe
Why do people get all worked up about IKEA airbrushing a female model out of a catalog so as not to offend the Muslims of Saudi Arabia while they don't get equally irate over the fact that American tr more »
First off it would be helpful if writers of articles like this would stop with the meaningless euphemisims like "rebels." Please be more definitive. These so-called rebels are mainly the al Nusra Fron more »
