Debunking a Reported Defiance of Economic Law in South Korea

Civil War in Iraq
The bombing on February 22 of the Askariya shrine in Samarra, Iraq, was a tragedy, but it was not an American or a coalition tragedy. The destruction of the Golden Dome, built in 1905 and one of the holiest shrines of Shiite Islam, represents an escalation of the...

Che Guevara “The Motorcycle Diaries”
But the mass executioner gets a standing ovation by the same people in the U.S who oppose capitol punishment! Is there a psychiatrist in the house?!
On the U.S. Obligation in Iraq
