Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.

You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on February 10, 2009.  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

To bring this up for the millonth time, diplomacy failed to work against Hitler because Hitler saw the world in a radically different way than did the Western Powers. For him, statecraft was a matter of the Will, not Reason, and to a large extent, the Muslims think the same way.

I ran across the facebook page of an old college buddy who is now teaching in the “social justice” department of a seminary back east. Another of our friends posted something like “I can't believe 0bama is going to talk to the Iranians”, and Kevin replied, “Well, you must open negotiations between two parties if you wish to understand their position.”

Only an academic would wonder what Iran's position towards the United States might be. Geez, Kevin, what part of “I KILL YOU!” don't you understand?

Obama is as unilateralist in surrender as Bush was unilateralist in confrontation.

Von Clausewitz understood diplomacy to be joined at the hip with military prowess. You cannot separate war as an instrument of diplomacy. These jerks and all those who follow this type of philosophy is what has consistently led us to wars.
