A Message for Bashar

Is this a time to be timid?
A time for turning the cheek?
A time for letting things be
A time for showing we’re weak?

Who speaks for the children?
Who speaks for the free?
Who dares to confront tyrants?
Yes, let it be me!

A suit and a tie
Does not make a man
Nor an opulent palace
Run if you can.

Pretend you are normal
Pretend to the throne
Pretend you are brave
Count your money alone.

You’ve not tasted war
The stuff that you wage
You’re a small paper tiger
In a large gilded cage.

You may think you are safe
With nothing to lose
Let’s see what you think
After meeting a Cruise.

It’ll rock your world
Knock you flat on your ass
Teach you the true lesson
Of using that gas.

Back in medical school
Where you turned on the charm
You missed that one lesson
First, do no harm.

Viva the Poet!

Wisdom and Justice.

In this country, USA, we always get information from the three main Terrorists, and the Press. The press that repesents the Con-Money-Men; and the Terrorists that represent the Lords of liars and Weapons.

Any Government that violates the HUman Rights Convention, is an out Law Governement, and therefore should be judge by the International Court on Crimes Against Humankind.

First question that our schools system and universities should teach to be asked would be, "Why the countries that sell weapons on the industrial scale never stimulate their people to process the violators of the Human Rights?

Who sold chemical weapons to those criminal countries? Why the Press never asks, or tells people who sells chemical weapons to those countries, including nuclear weapons?

The people are used by the Terrorists, (I am not talking about those bamb-men, I am talking about the real Terrorists.) that stimulate them to talk about the "freedom" that they were told to have, and those that would give them their fake "freedom".

"A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future." — Robert Anson Heinlein

"A Message for Bashar" is one that can direct and re-direct one's thinking. The one that thinks will find the way through historic points, and reach the conclusion that someone is playing a game.

All the deadly chemicals were sold by Russia and USA. The Headquaters of the Earth's Terrorists is The United Nations Security Council, governed over by the FIVE PERMANENT MEMBERS, which is the present version of the "Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition" — backed up on the Western World by Lord of Canterbury — and the Lord of Vatican.

I wish that our school system will one day — teach the history of this country, — and the main language; that — the White House Lawyers learn to read, — so they can read the constitution; and that the Congress respect our Constitution, for this way we can have a legal country doing business with no immoral members.

History will tell us what not to do, and obedience to our Constitution will empower our people to demand compliance with our Magna Law.

Peace and Courage.

In reverent appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Forget politics. Syria is an open and shut case of a dictator using chemical warfare against his own people. I think we can greatly reduce his ability to repeat that kind of atrocity in 30 to 60 days. The nearest parallel is Libya. It was over in 7 months. Our casualties: ZERO. Our cost: ZERO. Our leader: Barack Obama.

Rarely do I get political in reviews Ed. Beside the fact of this place in the earth, this outpost of insanity in a perfectly insane world as it is, seem not to be the particular place we should stand up to evil. You know that voice that tells you...no not here. Russians
manning missile sites, slowly filtering ships from the Black sea, truly evil people on either side, in a country that was never a signatory to any chemical weapons treaty. Unwilling allies. Seems like they have all lost their nerve. If you want to end the threat of chemical weapons in this place upon the earth, you have to go in and take them. Boots on the ground. Images of world war 3 dance in my head my friend. One we're in, we're in. May not be a good exit from this one. I keep hearing rumors in the news of Al Quaida setting up Assad for the fall on this one. Maybe I'm a nervous little Nellie on this one Edward, but it doesn't look so good to me. I pray the Lord will protect us on this one if we do jump. We'll see what happens. Bob

I wish there were a better way, but in order to limit collateral damage––and I mean more innocent people in the path of mighty destruction coming from almost nowhere––I think that drones could do a better job of pinpointing where it hurts the most… right in the arrogant ass!
