The Failed Logic of Supporting the Troops
December 15, 2008 In the United States, a growing number of leftists are voicing their opposition to the Israeli occupation. They condemn the demolition of homes, the jailing of Palestinians without charge, and the confiscation of Palestinian land for settlements. They don’t support the Israeli troops or their mission, nor do they give a free pass to those who are just "doing what they are told."

Diplomacy - Dedicated to International Day of Human Rights
Dec. 15, 2008 [From the Author of “Poems by Kolki – Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world] Let love, mercy and mutual understanding Be the tools for world diplomacy! Bridging all the gaps and barriers Created by military dominance and supremacy! A pen is mightier than a sword! Let us prove once more! A mind above doubts and fear - Can break the ice, ‘status quo’, forever! A heart which eager to love Can win enemy as friends! The ears which are ready to listen Ignore all strategic military intelligence! When arms are ready to embrace Thoughts are energised in optimism! All human problems find solution In honestly brokered communication!

Hang ‘em High
Oct. 29, 2008 MISSOULA, Mont. — Under the Big Sky on election’s eve, the cold gold cottonwood leaves catching the late October light, Lolo Peak holding its first dusting of snow, the season feels ritualistically right. But a free-floating edginess clings to the air, a sense of possibility over the prospect of a new president, and righteous anger that things are going to be very bad for a long time. I can’t shake this line from Jon Tester, the freshman senator from Montana.. » read more
