Growing Up

All too often, we get caught up in the trapping of the world. Christiane Amanpour is a media host showing a documentary called God's Warrior. Like usual, she compares conservative Christians to Muslim jihadists killing people. It's ironic, but typical of the media to do this. She blows events out of porportion and then say that those who believe strongly in absolutes are misguided. The truth is that no where in Constitution says that religion is banished from the public square or that no one should use religion for political purpose. Amanpour apparently forgotten about that. George W. Bush compared the Iraq war to vietnam in that in his mind if we leave too soon, Iraq might descend in choas similar to Pol Pot's reign. Think Progress on Thursday at August 23, 2007 quoted National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell that if we keep talking about the wiretapping program then people are going to die. What is the truth. The truth is that the NSA wiretapping program is about wiretapping people (even citizens possibly) without an explicit court oversight. A federal court ruled the program illegal in May 31.

The situation in the world is that we are in a crossroads. We're at the beginning of the 21st century. Old challenges linger, yet new problems always progress. Pro life news and more are common now. This is normal. Other news is about floods in the Midwest including Ohio, some possible agent provacteur going on in the anti-SPP protests in Canada, and other things. Growing up is apart of the human journey.
