Unlimited Terrorist

As long as we keep killing non-terrorists we will continue to create terrorists. We here at Dahath have been relatively passive for several decades now, and yet, if someone were to kill our loved ones it would take an act of God to keep us from becoming very violent.
It seems doubtful that our response is unique.
We have added Amazon search for you to check out a great book on this topic: Accidental Guerrilla by David Kilcullen.

Greed

The USA, or any other country, cannot continue at this pace for very much longer. No matter how rich a few people get it will not save the hundreds of millions that are getting deeper into the mire. It will only push them closer to madness!

Sign of the Times

Few can imagine the stresses involved for someone in combat. Far less can understand what happens to the human Psyche after relentless exposure to combat over half a decade. There are no public studies available to tell professional health care workers what to expect once these military personnel come home for good.
Those in the military clearly understand what it takes to prepare one for combat, but until recently they have not had to prepare the general personnel to come in and out of combat zones regularly over periods of years. Those who have that type of training are picked from a strenuously strict code of conduct that has proven to be available in less than ten percent of the entire military, they are called Special Forces.

...And Better And Better And....

The reason trust is non-existent is the same reason morals, ethics, character, honesty, and compassion are all non-existent; selfishness! People have become so self concerned trying to grab as much as they can before it or they are gone, they do not realize that when you burn a candle from both end simultaneously the candle burns twice as fast without the benefit of twice the light.

It Keeps Getting Better

You can't trust the government, the media, academia, your spouse, and now you can't trust your grocer!

Look Good For Now

So many poor young girls are "baking" their faces and bodies for looks, all the while creating a possible near future of pain, heartache, and impaired appearances. This is what we adults have created for our children. Shame on us all!

Nigeria

Why is it that whenever one hears of a small country attempting to renegotiate their "agreements" with the various oil companies involved in that country, which would ultimately result in that particular country receiving a bit more of the profits from their own oil, one always hears of near civil wars breaking out in that particular country?

Is this any way to run a country? Only if you wish to run it into the ground. Which is exactly what has been happening since the sixties. If we do not regain control of our government very soon it will be to late. Keeping product safety from the public is just as bad as lying us into war after war after war.

Did anyone hear it fall?

Imagine if you will, living in a subsistence culture that has existed for generations and within your life time the land that your great-great-great grandparents handed down to you can no longer sustain you and your family. As it cannot sustain any of your neighbors, and none of it has to do with the lifestyle your society has maintained for centuries.
On the contrary, your dying habitat is due to another country hundreds of miles from your home; this country has never been concerned with sustainable living. Even now this country shows no real empathy for your people's plight.
Though we in the USA are not the only cause of the plight of so many such tribes in the Amazon, we are the primary cause.

Article 140

So you think the Iraq war has been pacified? Think again! Unfortunately, Iraq and the surrounding areas have been a pressure cooker since the British divided the whole area after WWI. Setting artificial borders without taking into account the wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and history of the area.
Let's just say that goodwill for all its neighbors does not trip off the palm trees in places like Kirkuk.
Not only is the war in Iraq not finished; it has yet to begin!

Politics as Usual

The new book out by Chris Hedges, "Empire of Illusion" discusses some of the problems dragging the USA down the drain, and one of them is the way we conduct politics. This country used to be a Republic representing the people by the people. Mind you, it has never run exactly as designed. Then again, what country has or ever will? The point being, our elected officials as with those of us who elected them have no voice. There are just a few very powerful, rich people that do any talking any more.
We here at Dahath find it difficult determining who exactly is it at the rudder?

Amoral Dilemma

With the arrest in Jersey of rabbis and political officials, and the conviction of the "Prophet" of child molestation; should we be surprised to hear about the four young boys arrested for allegedly raping a little girl, or should we be alarmed?

Swine Flu--The Sequel

We recently talked with an official at the N.I.H. and she assured us that we have not seen the last or the worst of the Swine Flu. This discussion took place at a casual setting and we will not reveal who we talked with, however, we believe it is imperative to alert the public of the dangers ahead.

Why Be Upset?

If you check out the article on Truthdig you will see why the Palestinians get just a bit upset with their Israeli neighbors. We here at Dahath will attempt to be as neutral as possible on all we report on; however, if you sense a bias it may not be your imagination, but our inability to remain apart from the suffering of others.

Once a cop.....

It seems only fitting that we here at Dahath make our first comment on the arrest of Professor Gates; seeing how we were once employed in the law enforcement capacity for thirteen years before retiring from an injury. We have been on numerous incidents that escalated into far more than they ever should have, oh could we tell you stories.....
However, not being on the scene we cannot say for certain that this is one of those incidents, but it sure looks that way.
