Why should America put our troops in harm's way to provide this terrorist organization with new life, especially since armies in the region are stepping up to take the fight to ISIS? ISIS wants to draw the U.S. into a religious war, to secure its role as the self-proclaimed defender of Islam against crusading foreign invaders. https://www.opednews.com/articles/New-Years-Resolution-for-A-by-Dennis-Kucinich-Agroecology_New-Year-Resolutions_Peace-141231-575.html Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:00:38 -0500 https://www.opednews.com/articles/New-Years-Resolution-for-A-by-Dennis-Kucinich-Agroecology_New-Year-Resolutions_Peace-141231-575.html Dennis Kucinich When anyone of us resolves toward self-improvement, it can impact the lives of those we love.

Its construction of settlements violates the Oslo agreement. Its Central Bank dries up the Gaza economy and blocks payments to Gaza civil servants. Its total control brings the Palestinians to utter subjection and total despair. https://www.opednews.com/articles/Stop-Calling-the-Iraq-War-by-Dennis-Kucinich-Iraq-Occupation-Strategy_Iraq-War_Iraq-War-Architects_Politicians-140617-110.html Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:38:43 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/Stop-Calling-the-Iraq-War-by-Dennis-Kucinich-Iraq-Occupation-Strategy_Iraq-War_Iraq-War-Architects_Politicians-140617-110.html Dennis Kucinich The "mistake" rhetoric is the language of denial, not contrition: it minimizes the Iraq War's disastrous consequences, removes blame, and deprives Americans of any chance to learn from our generation's foreign policy disaster. The Iraq War was not a "mistake" -- it resulted from calculated deception.
