Isn't it the leaders who make wars and never the people?

Jul 26, 2009 by William W | Posted in Politics

Unpretentiously the common people don't want war, neither in Afghanistan, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Iraq. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who make up one's mind policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Medium or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for need of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

What would you guess was Ilan Raymon's job as "Payload Specialist" aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia?

Jul 26, 2009 by James G | Posted in Military

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilan_Ramon
The Array Shuttle Columbia was deployed late January and crashed Feb.1, 2003. Collin Powell addressed the UN sanctuary council on Feb.5, 2003 stating the United States had strong evidence of WMD's in Iraq. The United States began Hand Iraqui Freedom March 20, 2003. Powell later stated that he felt that he had been foisted to persuade a case on weak evidence provided by the CIA. Because Ramon was an Israeli specialist on Iraq and onboard the Columbia do you see that the strong evidence the CIA had on WMD's was lost in the shuttle crash? Please wiki Ramon and his role in Operation Opera before answering.
