It's really funny how time changes one's perspective on things.

In 1979 the Ayatollah Khomenei was Public Enemy #1 in the United States, and he'll be remembered in the history books for his signature reference to the United States of America as "the Great Satan."

I look around me in 2013 and I realize that he was probably right about that one.

Is that a fact?

That is actually a good point, but your optamism is overshadowed by your pessimism...

“Who cares?”

Well, I know a lot of Jewish people that do, and a family who I care about a hell of a lot that lives in Haifa for now...Working on a deal to get one of my best friends, and his wife and two daughters out of there very soon...

I feel for those that are not as fortunate to have avenues to pursue like this...He has fought the good fight as a soldier and policeman, and that he could make a good living over here away from those battles they have to face every single day...

But hey, that’s just my opinion, and what I am working on to support a small part of this war on evil...
