We don't know for an absolute fact if the Marines at the US embassy in Cairo were indeed armed with live ammo. Major Alex Cross wasn't there, either. The good major is reporting what he is told to say. I trust he speaks in good faith, but I do not trust the civilians at the State Department...

I agree, there's not much comparison to be made between Europe and the United States. There was a time when Europe mattered.

Care to make a point?

No one said you have disrespected this country. More likely, you do not understand this country. If you are attempting to view American culture through your experiences in Europe, then you will miss the mark. Europe has a long, long tradition of accommodating tyrants and dictators...

Following your logic, every film made in the United States would have to be sanitized so as not to offend Islam. Sorry, there are no sacred cows in the exercise of free speech. I understand England and France cower before the swelling ranks of radical Muslims which now populate their major...

So, now the radical Muslims can tell a free people which movies, books, cartoons or other forms of free speech are permissible? Ridiculous.

You aren't going to find universal agreement.

I get the feeling Mitt Romney would allow US Marines to carry live ammo and defend US embassies and personnel. If we aren't going to protect our government officials abroad, then shut down the embassies and consulates in countries where radical Muslims have a history of violence towards...

Maybe our preening president should travel again to Cairo, Egypt and take another bow.

The more they get away with this stuff, the more emboldened they become.

In 1979, Iran didn't have nuclear weapons. The situation seems much more grave presently.

It will be interesting to get an autopsy report on the cause and manner of death for our ambassador. There are unconfirmed news stories beginning to surface which allege the US ambassador was sexually brutalized prior to being killed. Eventually, the details of these deaths will get out. It's...

Thank you for the kind words. My son is currently attached to a Marine unit specializing in NBC( Nuclear, Biological and Chemical warfare). For the past two weeks, they had been on standby for rapid deployment. The belligerence brewing in Syria and Iran was assumed to be the reason for their...

My son and his USMC unit were just deployed to a staging area in Kuwait two days ago. Their commanders would not tell them where they were headed until their plane was airborne. It appears our military leaders are anticipating an outbreak of trouble in the Middle East.

Don't know if this is a family of city-dwellers or suburbanites. Most people are so far removed from the natural world they don't realize wild animals are just that. Wild. This family invaded the buffalo's space, prompting the beast to feel threatened. The parents are guilty of ignorance...

America was built on the capitalistic economic model. Having a president who understands business and finance can go a long way toward turning our nation's sorry state of affairs around. The farther we get away from sound business practices, even in government, the worse our plight becomes...

Well, Romney is an exceptional businessman. It couldn't hurt to bring an understanding of capitalism back to the Oval Office. Given the awful national debt, austerity budgets will be coming. We may have no choice but to live with austerity budgets for decades. The sacred cows of Social...

It's difficult to believe we will see a so-called dictator come to power in the United States. That would be a pretty far stretch of the imagination. Should any President begin acting aggressively outside the bounds of our Constitution, remedies are in place to assure his or her ouster...

Of course God is present at the DNC. The controversy surrounds the failure to acknowledge or reference God in the DNC platform. Prior to this year's convention, it has been customary to acknowledge our Creator. It is difficult for some Democrats to admit there's something greater than Bill...

Who riots in this country? Probably in for some tense times the last 2 weeks before the election. Voter intimidation at the polls. Dead people voting in huge numbers. Television pundits warning of chaos and anarchy. Hope for a decisive victory that doesn't leave room for suggestions of...
