I don't feel I was 'born American,' but my homeland was denied to me after the end of World War II, and I craved something I could identify with.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That was one of the great successes of removing Saddam Hussein, as we took Iraq out of the picture of having a sovereign nation from which the terrorists could operate. But this war has not gone perfectly.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

In its Declaration of Independence on May 15, 1948, Israel stretched out its hand in peace to its Arab neighbors, calling for an end to war and bloodshed. In response, seven Arab states invaded Israel. The U.N. resolution that partitioned the country was thus violated and effectively annulled.
- Political

- Eurozone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If we finally chose as a country to take responsibility for the wars that we believe we must engage in, and rather than borrow money to exercise that authority to go to war, we actually pay for these wars, that would save us over a trillion dollars, because that's what we have spent in Iraq and Afghanistan - all through borrowed money.

The war was an escape to reality... The only thing that mattered were human relationships; not money, not position, not even family...
