"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found."

America’s military isn’t a missionary force. Our foreign policy should defend human rights, not one religion. The U.S. protects people — not “Christian populations.”

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters. I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes. It makes far more sense to interdict them.

If US Congress doesn't hold removal hearings for FCC director Carr, they'll continue to prove to be feckless. Kimmel's speech is protected. ABC chickened out when Carr threatened them over political speech, which is a direct violation of the first amendment. As for ABC, piracy is civil disobedience.
