False american asumps and objectives have helped create the current mess in the middle east. It is not news to anybody that american politics is uncivil and dysfunctional.

We should not intervene without a war termination strategy. How are you going to end it . It is not enough to get up on air Aircraft Carrier and proclaim mission accomplished.

Its been two weeks since Malaysia Airlines flight 370 vanished with 239 on board. Of the focus is on a remote patch of the indian ocean, 1500 miles off the australian coast. Thats where satellite images showed two large objects in the water. Search clues are focussing on that area, hunting for a sign of debris. Six planes and two merchant ships are taking part in the search. Malaysia is taking the u. S. , asking them to provide sonar and under water surveillance. The u. S. Has spent 2. 5 million on search efforts. Officials are analysing transcripts of the final 54 minutes of recording between the pilot and ground control. So far it doesnt appear to show anything out of the ordinary. Malaysias t
