Mr. Obama has taken gravely poor advice and the Republicans will no doubt support him until the rug can be pulled out from under him to the hurt of the country and people.
This why I have stated our country has died. In their zeal for a perpetual war on terror neocons now cooperate with our enemy to the point that if the rebellion in Libya succeeds the US will have successfully become the largest supporter of Al Qaida in the world having handed two countries and three peoples into the hands of this vile philosophy [6] .
We are no longer a country; we are a gang marauding through the world. The world at best is starting to see us like this. At worst we are starting to be viewed like a rabid dog blinded by bloodlust. They, the people of the world will only hide indoors until they realize it needs to be put down. It is ultimately about existentialism, existence [7] .
Today there is open talk among foreign political analysts about when the US will fire the first shots of WWIII, not if it will.
If we love our country today is the day to speak up and weigh in, and here's why.
If the president can not declare an offensive war because it is the responsibility of Congress, are the orders given to the military legal orders? What kind of position does this put our service men and women in?
Does this put our country in the position to be seen as a state sponsoring terror, not if but when this comes back to bite us?
Are we willing to institutionalize the evil done by the previous administration and perpetuate it as policy?
Have we forgotten 9/11? We were Americans back then.
If all we have left is the dollar to be made by the bank, the kickback, or the corporation, our time is passed. That is the saddest commentary of all.

And as we discovered during the financial crisis, hitting a high-impact, improbable event results in almost all traditional asset classes losing value.
