Personally, I’m not convinced by any arguments, for or against our new little war.
Here’s an alternative view:

The one success of the Bush Doctrine in terms of coaxing a response in terms of state behavior was Libya. That state long associated with terrorism in the US consciousness, that international pariah with the oddball leader not named Kim, it would be the one to be scared straight and give up its nuclear program. It would be the one to renounce terror as a political tool, and it would be rewarded for its changed ways by the US with improved relations.
One could argue that Gaddafi’s motivation in the above was to avoid US military action against him like that which had been aimed at Saddam Hussein and that had been publicly speculated about in regards to Iran.

So, what is the lesson for Iran, Syria, and the other assorted mix of thugs and Islamists in the ME … get WMD as quick as possible … or behave?

In a world full of celebrities, he was a very special shining star whose “‘little-boy-lost‘ look melted everyone’s heart.” Early on in his too-short life he had been the subject of a bitter custody battle, and in recent months had fallen victim to serious depression, and was recently diagnosed as suffering “an attention-seeking psychological disorder.” Despite these setbacks, he “was suffering no obvious health problems up until the day he suddenly died” of an unexpected heart attack, perhaps due to an interaction of “inherited disease and stress.”
If there’s any comfort to be found in this unspeakably tragic story of a young life cut cruelly short, it’s that his memory will undoubtedly live on. I say “undoubtedly,” because it’s now been announced that he’s going to be stuffed and mounted for public display.
Let the pilgrimages begin.
Hold me.

SunTV News is scheduled to go to air on April 18 – less than a month from now – but whether you’ll be able to actually see it is another matter altogether. BC Blue has provided a helpful list here of phone numbers and links to local cable and satellite providers across the country.
Contact your provider and let them know in no uncertain terms that you want to see SunTV News, and that if they don’t carry it you’ll switch to a cable/satellite provider that does.
