Fallen Soldier
Requiescat in pacem.
Here in Las Vegas, NV we are mourning the loss of another local soldier killed in Iraq. Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Coby Schwab was on his second tour in Iraq, and he chose to go back to help protect his buddies.

Is War A Psychosis?
Starting with the Revolutionary War, U.S. history is a series of one conflict after the next.
The United States was founded in war, the American Revolution, and has had wars in every generation from that time to World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and now the Afghan and Iraq wars. That is not unique to the United States. Every world region has had a war. In the context of world history, it seems war is inevitable, and as philosopher George Santayana sadly observed in 1905, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Estonians Under Siege In Moscow
A World War 2 memorial in Estonia is at the heart of a Russian protest.
Rioting by ethnic Russians in Estonia in protest at that country’s removal of a World War II memorial to fallen Soviet soldiers has subsided, but not in Moscow. For the past six days, a pro-Kremlin youth movement has been blockading the Estonian Embassy, demanding that either Estonia apologize for its desecration of the memorial, or else that the Embassy be razed.

Joan Baez Banned From Walter Reed
From a post about the military banning Joan Baez from performing at Walter Reed.
“I have always been an advocate for nonviolence and I have stood as firmly against the Iraq war as I did the Vietnam War 40 years ago,” she wrote. “I realize now that I might have contributed to a better welcome home for those soldiers fresh from Vietnam. Maybe that’s why I didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation to sing for those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. In the end, four days before the concert, I was not ‘approved’ by the Army to take part. Strange irony.”

One Last Time
A history buff talks about wars, including the revolutionary war.
I love history. I have spent most of my life studying various aspects and historical periods. I have delved into the Napoleonic Wars, American Civil War, WWII, the Zulus, The Sioux uprising of 1890, Lewis and Clark, the Revolutionary War, and WWI in recent decades. It is a hobby. I make no claims to genius, no special insight.
