I watched the video of the death of Derrion Albert yesterday on the news and was appalled at the shear violence, the mob mentality, the excitement of the participants and the lack of concern of the passersby’s driving through the milieu with obvious disinterest.

What the hell is this world coming to when a sixteen year old child can be beaten to death on the streets in broad daylight, with people passing by and not giving a f***. While the consensus seems to be that those who participated have no “home training,” that they are “unsalvageable” what is the excuse for those who passed by as though nothing was happening?

Have we become so afraid of the violence that we are desensitized to death on the streets? As the video tape is rolling, capturing the violence, who had a rational thought of attempting to stop the madness – nobody. As cars attempted to get through the mob of students acting out, who had the courage to stop their car and attempt to break up the fight – nobody.

This was a disturbing display of the selfish uncaring detachment people show in today’s world yet you sit in judgment of the participants of the violence, even the parents of those who participated, when in actuality you are no better, as adults, driving through the madness with one thought on your mind – let me get away from here before I am somehow touched by the madness not really understanding that in witnessing and not acting, you are touched by the madness.

Yes, Chicago is experiencing a rise in teen deaths, yes the violence is getting out of hand but we have been here before in different cities across America. Children are coming to school armed and deadly to avenge wrongs that have been perpetrated against them. Gang warfare is happening in the streets of major cities, violence and anger is on the rise in both teens and adults as demonstrated in the protests against health care/insurance reform.

Cops are being videotaped beating and kicking suspects, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles and friends are being sent off to war only to come back in caskets. Turn on your television at any given time and the violence you see does not always come from Hollywood but are the depictions of real life violence; wars, protest, angry people, hate filled faces, panicked children running from schools where rampages of death are taking place.

Yet, it is so much easier to place the violence of children on the parents of the child, which may have a direct bearing on the situation, however, this violence goes much deeper than dysfunctional households – it goes to the dysfunctionality of the society we live in. As I have always said, society gets the level of violence it perpetrates on its citizens. You reap what you sow; what you put out there is returned to you tenfold.

As you drive past the violence on the streets rushing to get to your uptown housing, you need to be recognizing that the violence that you ignore will soon be in a neighborhood near you. You need to recognize the old saying that it takes a village to raise a child and dedicate yourself to being part of that village.

You need to take responsibility for your lack of compassion, your insensitivities, your need not to get involved, your uncaring, hard hearted attitudes, your own irrational, selfish, hate filled actions that allows for things like this to happen right in front of your faces – you need to CARE!!!!

But most of all, as selfishness has become the norm, you need to recognize that this could be your child, your grandchild, your niece or nephew because violence is indiscriminate, bullets claim lives of the innocent and irrational behaviors touch every life that witnesses the madness.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!!

Argyle Backpack

Geez as hard as I try, I can not seem to stay away from the news. I get angry at the extent of the hate I see. I get angry at the irrational comments made by those who are supposed to be in office working for the good of the people. I get angry at the media and the way they lead into certain stories (with bias and intent) but like a drug, lately I can not ignore the news.

My recent anger is going out to Governor Tim Pawlenty, a Republican from Minnesota. His irrational comments at the Mackinac Island, Michigan Republican Leadership Conference left me shaking my head in disgust.

Pawlenty, playing ugly Republican politics stated “President Obama said in his joint session of Congress he’s going to call people out, so we want to call him out back and say ‘Quit bankrupting the country. Stop spending money we don’t have. Stop taxing us into oblivion and the next time you speak to the young people apologize and explain to them why you are leaving them such a huge debt to pay off.’”

While those may not be his exact words they are close enough to get the intent. Now I’m not for sure but I would be willing to bet that he is one of those same Republicans that are so concerned about the national debt when it comes to health care/insurance reform but are anxious to continue the war in Afghanistan. A war that has been going on for eight years – with no end in sight; a war that is taking more American lives monthly; a war that is “deteriorating” swiftly.

While health care/insurance reform is for the betterment of “we the people,” Republicans and their arrogant attitudes want to continue the war in a country which has home court advantage, which is winning the battle, which has an exhaustive supply of warriors and who refuses to give up the battle, costing the American people billions of dollars and spiking up the national debt.

So we send our kids off to fight, forever changing their lives and who they are, spend extreme amounts of money in a war that goes on and on and on like the ever ready bunny, troops come back home, no jobs available and no medical coverage to support their mental and physical wounds but you fight tooth and nail to prevent health coverage for the people you are supposed to be looking out for.

I don’t understand the thought process of those people who are for the war but against health care/insurance reform based on cost. I don’t understand the righteous indignation regarding too much government involvement after where big business has taken us. I don’t understand the concept/rant that government is becoming too involved in medical care but let’s expand Medicare/Medicaid to cover more people.

I don’t understand the lies, the hate, the twisting of words to make the same thing seem like a different thing. I don’t understand Republicans or Democrats that are dressing things up to seem like something other than what they are to make themselves seem smarter or make it seem like their idea is better when basically they are the same ideas with different packaging and the debt is going to continue to grow either way.

See this is why I hate to watch the news these days. Nobody is making sense, hate is strong and arrogance is obvious. Rational thought does not exist only egotistical political games are relevant and I feel this is going to be the tone of any debate as long as Obama is President. Those who are against the President will always be against him regardless to what he says or does.

People wanted change but the changes are being irrationally criticized. With the world view of Obama in office being very positive, Americans sit back and criticize every move he makes. The other day on the Cafferty Report, Cafferty asked is it better for the American President to be feared or liked. This comment was a direct put down because the view from some Americans is that Obama is showing weakness in his international dealings.

I say fear does not gain respect. I say fear involves a bully mentality. I say while people may fear you, they are not respecting you and though the people you get to fear you may walk the line, you can not control what they think or feel and you better believe that in the long run they are thinking of ways to get back at you because of the fear you instill in them.

I say slavery should have shown you that but lessons not learned are situations that you will continue to experience. I say eight years of Afghanistan and six years of Iraq should be showing you how true this is but you can not see past your arrogance and your need to win even when losing is smacking you in the face. I say only ignorant people and fools do not learn from experience – which one of those categories do Americans fit into.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!

Beloved Enemy/Shadowed Memories (Battles of Destiny, Vol. 2)

Is money the root of all evil or does evil naturally reside in the heart of mankind. As I view the Bernie Madoff’s of the world in the form of Insurance Companies, Banks, Mortgage Lenders, Car Manufactures and all those who took part in the material greed that eventually brought us to our knees financially, as well as witnessing how money seems to be the key element in the discussions on health care/insurance reform, I began to recognize how material gain has been such a motivating negativity throughout history.

Senator Baucus, best know for the new insurance reform legislation he has brought to the table in recent days, has essentially outlined a better way for insurance companies to continue on their road of making more money off “we the people” by making health care insurance mandatory for every individual.

While in theory, this idea is a good idea, technically, by making insurance “mandatory” is this not more government control over your individual lives, something the protesters seem to be totally against. Also, because of his affiliations with the health care industry, his motivations have to stand in question.

Is this proposal Baucus has submitted guided by the fact that over recent years, Baucus has received over $4 million dollars from the health care/insurance fields? How can you trust his proposals based on this large amount of money he has received from the very people the health care/insurance reform is attempting to pull in the reins on?

While he is promoting co-ops, how effective would co-ops be on a large scale and how would these co-ops react to a person who has a pre-determined illness of any type? He is also promoting the expansion of Medicare/Medicaid to be more inclusive to a larger portion of society. Medicare is run by the government, thus making government involved more with your medical coverage – is this a play on words/concepts, or am I the one that is confused.

Power, greed, material gains, land ownership, control seem to be what motivates people to act out in uncaring, egotistical, in the moment ways that always seems to lead to madness on one level or another.

Corrupt governments, in other countries, which keep most of its people living way under the poverty level while government officials are “living large” in plush, comfortable surroundings all indicate that money and power have a tendency to corrupt a man’s soul but I say that man’s soul is corrupt and he sees more power in the money.

Recently, I have been avoiding politics in my personal life. I had begun to feel dirty as though I was actually rolling in the mud with the “pigs” that run this country. I had begun to feel angry at the sight of the protesters’ signs and the talk of racism that still has the capacity to, literally, turn my stomach with the extent of the denials and the irrational acts of racially conscious Americans.

Instead I have been taking the journey into the future with Nostradamus, his predictions of 2012 and scientist who are full of scenarios of what the end could be like. Secretly, I am beginning to hope that it will be as bad as the predictions have outlined for out of the tragedies predicted, maybe, just maybe mankind will become aware that united we have so much more to gain than divided. Something serious needs to shake up mankind to make him see the errors of his ways because those ways are becoming more and more destructive.

It seems that in horrific times, people seem ready to stand besides each other, regardless of race, religion, or anything else that has a tendency to divide, and work for the common good, but only until the crisis is over.

How long does a crisis have to last before people recognize the true meaning of life on earth? Truth be told, as I look around the world as it is today, I see a crisis that is ready to explode and bring the predictions of Nostradamus, the Mayan Indians and Revelations to our doorsteps – how will you respond? How will you survive when money is not the ultimate goal but true survival is all that matters?

Some have predicted a spiritual awakening based on the line up of the planets in 2012. If your God were to meet you face to face and look you squarely in the eyes, would he/she be able to witness a soul that has been true to the concepts of peace, love, forgiveness or would they see the ugliness that has been corrupting your very being and the deeds you have committed tainted by this ugliness in you soul.

While no one really knows the soul of another, what that person thinks or truly feels, your actions, in any given situation, tells a great deal about who you are on the inside. While you may be able to deny with your lips what you really feel, your actions are the road map to your heart – you better recognize before it’s too late.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!

Fatal Flaw

While former President Carter may have hit the nail squarely on the head, most people are denying his words like they have been denying racism even exists in the forms manifested on a daily basis.

You lie, if you think racism has no bearing on the current debates on health care. You lie if you believe racism is a “fringe” element of the demonstrations. You lie if you feel that this behavior will not persist regarding any issue Obama brings to the table.

You lie to the American public when you discount racism as a key element in the dissention regarding Obama being president but more importantly, you give those responsible for the racist attitudes reason to deny this attitude to themselves.

It is one thing to disagree with a person’s point of view however, the comments being made, the signs being carried during protests such as the Tea Parties, the chants all are symbolic of the underlying racial message – to deny this is to deny racism exists in America and to deny racism exist and is the cause of the dissention regarding the health care/insurance reform is a lie.

Denial will not make the issue of racism disappear it will however encourage the growth of the attitude cloaking it in “other reasons” without rooting it out in honesty. Some have said it does no good to bring racism into the conversation of health care reform, that it takes away from the legitimacy of the health care/insurance reform debate however it is because of racism that the debate has intensified into the irrational conversation it has become.

Although we may be in agreement that racism does exist in America, when it comes to the manifestations of racism there is no agreement and it would seem that the only racism that does exist in today’s America is the “racism” that exists in reverse discrimination because when it comes to things blacks perceive to be racism then it is all in our minds.

Racism does not, according to the news media and their panels of “experts,” exist in racial profiling. Racism does not exist in the work environment; racism does not exist on the police force or in educations, housing, acquiring credit or in simple daily living.

Racism is irrational and that irrationality is carrying over into the discussions of health care/insurance reform, with lies and fear being motivated by racially charged comments made by main stream media people like Limbaugh and Beck. Racism is personal thereby the attacks on Obama have become personal because they are motivated not by his policy but because of who he is – an African American.

When you close your eyes to truth it has a tendency to resurface stronger than before because truth always rises to the surface as has the true racial climate that has been just below the surface here in America. While many say they welcome a debate on racism in America whenever the conversation comes up it is plagued by denials and therefore never truly discussed or examined.

While there are bigger issues to tackle, such as the war in Afghanistan, health care/insurance reform, education and the economy among other things, the race issue will continue to force a wedge between effective problem solving regarding these issues because race is an issue that has never been effectively dealt with here in America.

Unless this debate on racism is dealt with head on, the consequences will be more dissention, more “disagreement,” harsher words more personal attacks and more lies. I admire former President Carter for denouncing the actions of those who are insisting on making this presidency an undercover campaign for racism and hate. I admire him for speaking what I consider to be a truth that has been denied for too long.

Consequently, the attack on Acorn has even demonstrated a level of racism and stereotyping that is offensive to me. The pimp and the prostitute are symbolic of what white America has always considered a prime occupation of blacks in America.

Although Acorn may have some problems, they did not bring down the American economy. Acorn is neither taking taxpayers’ money to “restore” their business and pay out large bonuses to their “top achievers,” nor are they the first Americans to have offered up ways to beat the IRS.

This attack on Acorn is a direct attack on the “legitimacy” of the President of the United States of America with the allegations of voter fraud looming and President Obama’s minor affiliation with Acorn making him guilty by association.

You people need to get a grip and face some serious truths that have nothing to do with Acorn but instead with the hate you hold in your heart and the belief, as former President Carter has said in a nicer way, that an African American is not capable or worthy enough to head this nation – which is a lie!!

And that’s the way I see it!!!!

As I was reading some of the comments left on Yahoo News regarding Serena Williams’ meltdown, I realized just how some whites refuse to allow blacks the freedom of just being “people” they will always be blacks, animals even to some.

One comment stated “another case of an angry black person thinking they are owed something.” Another comment called her “ghetto girl” and still another made the comment “you can take the monkey out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of the monkey.”

The flood gates of racism have opened wide for Americans on a rampage against blacks. It does not matter what blacks do in this land of equal opportunity, to a large portion of white Americans they will always be less than human, “jungle bunnies” or in the minds of those stuck in the past “niggers.”

I have seen white ball players in the faces of referees cursing, arguing, violent and angry because a foul was called on them but let a black person express attitude and immediately the color of that athlete becomes the issue. Yet whites are so quick to make statements to the affect that it is blacks who keep the color biases alive and well.

My question becomes what the hell is wrong with white America. On any and every level possible you show just how ignorant and racist you are. While no one, besides Congressman Charles Rangel has been outspoken enough to call this opposition on health care/insurance reform what it really is, racism, I have known almost since Obama has been in office that the real cause for all of the rudeness, name calling, protests, is simply because Obama is black – it is simply motivated by hate and racism.

While Obama may have won the election, a large portion of his votes undoubtedly came from minorities and young whites who have a better handle on reality because they have been exposed to blacks more than their parents or grand parents. What I see when I scan the crowds at the “Tea Parties” and the Town Hall meetings is a sea of white faces.

A sea of white faces angry at the way things turned out in the election; a sea of white faces who are running scared at the prospect of having to give up the privilege they have enjoyed for too long and no way does that sea of faces represent the true political makeup of America at this juncture.

The real reason the health care reform is causing so much dissention is because white Americans truly feel this legislation is nothing more than reparations for “past” sins and to allow for this to pass would be like admitting guilt. Those who are against this legislation will continue to be against the legislation because it is not about the legislation it is more about race.

Never mind that this legislation has been discussed many times over the last 50 years, never mind that everyone agrees that it needs to be reformed, never mind that if it is not taken care of soon it will create a financial burden that can take America to a new level of financial ruin, the real battle is the battle against “black America” and that is the only battle that makes any sense to the irrational, hate filled masses of white America.

Racism is an irrational manifestation of the superiority racist whites feel. That irrational state of mind propels racist to act out in irrational ways and to believe the lies that have been used to dissuade the gullible minds and confuse the issues regarding the health care legislation.

Even when the lies are unveiled, the irrational minds refuse to consider truth because truth would show how truly ridiculous they have been so they cling to the lies as justification for their outrage and continue on the path of ignorance and denial.

A prime example of the ignorance and disrespect was South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson’s rude behavior at the speech Obama gave on Wednesday night when he called out that Obama was a lie for saying this health care/insurance reform would not offer health care to illegal immigrants.

This rude comment comes in spite of the reality that illegal immigrants are currently receiving health care through emergency rooms and will continue to receive this type of care regardless of any bill being passed; this rude comment comes with no “punishment” and yet accountability is a word that is overused on the stage of politics today. “I’m sorry” does not take the words or the effects of the words away.

This rude comment comes out of the mouth of Representative Joe Wilson even with the knowledge that as a result of these visits to the emergency room, by illegal immigrants, medical costs are driven up; this, in spite of the reality that while the bill may not offer a means to distinguish between an illegal immigrant and a true citizen, immigrants will be taken care of one way or the other with or without this legislation.

White people need to give up the racism that is entrenched in the fiber of their very souls because they are showing their ignorance, to the world, in a very profound manner and while you are sending our troops out to fight wars in foreign lands, you need to clean up your own back yard in order to be perceived as a nation that practices what it preaches.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!

Since I have had my fill of politics, health care reform, war and I am on racism overload, I have decided to put my two cents in on Chris Brown and Rihanna.

As a victim of domestic violence and having watched the Larry King Show with Chris Brown as his guest, I got the impression Chris did not want to discuss the details of how this came about because, just maybe, he was not the one to throw the first punch.

This could be why he said he would rather Rihanna tell the story – he was leaving it up to her to come clean, in her own time and in her own way.

Regardless of who threw the first punch, Rihanna was the one with visible destruction to her body. Now watching Chris on Larry King, his facial expressions that showed lots of attitude at times but also showed embarrassment and guilt for what he had done, I know that his arrogance, something else I saw on his face, played into the level of abuse that Rihanna suffered through.

While I believe Chris is genuinely sorry for the extent of the violence and embarrassed that it happened, I did not see a “cured” Chris Brown. Truth is, before he gets back into a relationship he needs lots of counseling. Chris needs to recognize that he is the “stronger” sex, in most cases, with brute force alone.

He will always be able to beat a woman in physical battle but he should never allow a verbal confrontation with a woman to lead to a physical battle even if that woman puts her hands on him first – just walk away.

Now I know that walking away, sometimes is not that easy because women can become very aggressive when they feel they are not being heard and sometimes it gets to the point where there is no time like the present time to have a discussion. Counseling could help him find alternatives to the violence it could also help him get to the root of the violence.

This is were males need to be able to simply say, “Look, I am not seeing things clearly right now” or “I’m too angry to talk right now can we have this discussion later, after I have thought about it.”

The key to statements like this however is that eventually the conversation needs to take place or else the rage builds inside the female and the next time it will be a little bit harder to walk away using these words.

A “sister” will get up in your face and talk so much trash that sometimes it is hard to get a word in edgewise sometimes you just have to let her rant while you listen just so she can get it out of her system.

Respect is another thing that can push a person over the edge. Yes, Chris is a “grown” man and he may think he can talk to whatever women he wants to talk to whenever he wants to talk to her but expect aggression if you are doing it in front of someone who is suppose to be your “woman.”

In a jealous rage, things happen and when provoked to a jealous rage, arrogance is not the answer, so why even get it started. Respect your “woman” at all times – you can be a dog at another time but never in the presence of your woman. Chris is too young and too cute to be tied down to one woman right now anyway.

While I do not know the details of the confrontation – only Chris and Rihanna really know what truly happened, my experiences in life lead me to these words. I also know inside myself that I have been forever damaged by the domestic violence that I have experienced in my life to the point where I may be the first one to throw a punch if you walk into my space with an attitude and I have an attitude based on treatment that has been handed out by you.

In today’s world, men do not respect women; women do not respect women and young folks are suffering the consequences of this attitude. Domestic violence sometimes is about control but it can also be about a lack of ability to communicate effectively. Whatever the reason for domestic violence, not all men who participate in domestic violence can be put on the same level.

As was the case with my husband, who showed some of the same arrogance I saw in Chris Brown, he was fighting some internal demons that he was never able to conquer. While I tried to get him to open up and truly felt worse for him than I did myself, he never did open up to me. We eventually divorced, he remarried, for the third time, but he never changed and took that violence to the third marriage.

Those demons led him to alcohol, drugs and finally either suicide or an untimely death at the hands of another. The official record says suicide but even to this day, somewhere deep inside, I just can not believe he actually committed suicide – but I was not there so I do not know for sure.

All I do know for sure is that violence is never the answer and if you feel you “need” violence in the relationship for it to work, the reality is you don’t “need” that relationship.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!

Just like the health care/insurance reform debate crisis, there are two sides to every story as details are released concerning the man who got his finger bitten off at a health care demonstration recently in California.

Though I laughed at this ridiculous display of intimidation, on another level I could not help but to side with the pro-reform guy. Anti-reform demonstrators, town hall participants have shown repeatedly just how out of control and disrespectful they can be.

While the Los Angeles Times has reported the incident as the pro-reform demonstrator walking away minus a finger, an eyewitness report (a link provided through the Los Angeles Times report under updates) from a pro-reform demonstrator has a different version of exactly what happened and leaves the anti-reform demonstrator with a bully mentality, walking away minus a finger.

Either way, someone walked away from the demonstration, minus a finger and it is an excellent example of how rage, left unchecked, leads to uncontrolled violence and someone, ultimately, ends up hurt.

I have watched how these anti-reform protestors have shown so much disrespect for anyone who does not think as they think, by means of much yelling, finger pointing, rudeness and down right ugliness, as they attempt to dissuade people from getting on board with the health care reform.

Repeating the lies they have been told even after the lies have been shown for what they are. I have seen them screaming and finger pointing in others’ faces. I have even witnessed one man grab a woman’s poster and rip it up yet the woman whose poster he tore up was escorted out of the town hall.

I’m sorry, after reading the eyewitnesses’ report, somewhere deep inside, I felt a momentary feeling of triumph for the man who bit the finger off. Although I immediately felt bad for feeling this way, I have been disturbed by the shear irrational rage and total disrespect I have seen displayed by the mob mentality of the anti-reform protestors.

What I have found to be even more disturbing was, that these people where allowed to act out, without being checked, and ultimately being supported as demonstrating their fundamental right of “freedom of speech.” More than that even was the assumption portrayed by news media that these people represented the views of most “Americans” in this “debate” over health care reform.

Violence begets violence or so the saying goes, in war so it is in life and the longer this rage simmers, the stronger the boil becomes until someone gets hurt beyond a bitten off finger.

As two unlikely Republican partners, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Senator John McCain, hit the road with an itinerary of three events in two days to spout the message of a “slow approach to health care reform” nothing seems to dissuade those against health care reform and the tensions remain, ready to boil over into violence.

While Obama, in an effort to salvage his idea of health care reform, schedules a State of the Union style message next Wednesday, speculation mounts as to whether “public option” is in or out and whether the hope for bi-partisanship has been given up on.

I have never seen a clearer picture of how easily people are manipulated in masses, nor seen the mob mentality being demonstrated in such irrational, extreme behaviors being demonstrated by so many.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!

With allegations of fraud increasing in Afghanistan regarding the recent election, this picture of Lal Mohammad, which was in an article I read this morning on MSNBC, who claims his nose and ears were cut off by the Taliban, is a disturbing example of the viciousness with which the Taliban operates.

According to the article, Mohammad states he was on his way to the polling station to place his vote when he was stopped by the Taliban who searched him, found his voter registration card, cut his nose and ears and then beat him unconscious with a weapon. Many women in Afghanistan chose not to take a chance and turnout was limited by the threats made by the Taliban.

The death toll for U.S. troops in the month of August places August as the deadliest month, so far, in the 8-year battle with a total of 48 lives lost which breaks the previous record set in July of this year with 45 Americans dead.

General McChrystal has submitted his evaluation of the efforts in Afghanistan and states “The situation in Afghanistan is serious, but success is achievable.” He goes on to say that the strategy needs revision.

On Monday, suspected Taliban militants set fire to 18 container trucks, on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, carrying supplies for Western forces in neighboring Afghanistan. Also on Monday, vote tallies showed President Hamid Karzai was holding a strong lead over the top challenger Abdullah Abdullah. If he indeed wins the election then nothing will have changed, as had been hoped for by the United States.

I sincerely hope that the results of the election are not being relied on heavily by the United States as a move in a different direction because I fear that like the election in Iran, the outcome has been pre-determined and the vote was just a pretense in the name of Democracy. Time will tell who the true “victor” is and whether the attitudes change in terms of dialogue and support.

However, when it comes to dialogue, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says American messages to counter information coming from extremists abroad lack credibility. He goes on to say that “we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate.”

Mullen believes Americans are viewed as an “arrogant oppressor” something I have to agree with. Can that label be diminished as long as we are in their lands, killing their people, is something that remains to be seen.

Mullen seems to feel that “only through a shared appreciation of the Muslim’s culture, needs and hopes for the future can we hope ourselves to supersede the extremist narrative.” In this, he feels that communications is the key, backed by actions confirming the communications.

While this is a very feasible concept, for I believe in communication, but only when ears and eyes are opened, I pray that somewhere in Afghanistan, Pakistan as well as neighboring countries, that there are indeed eyes to see and ears to hear the true intentions of interlopers known as NATO forces.

More to the point is that the intentions of the interlopers are genuine and sincere, for this is the only way that communications will be effective.

And that’s the way I see it!!!
