Obama signs his last Pentagon budget: A legacy of war and reaction

Dar Al-Buwar

In Syria, the fires of rebellion burn;
not for the first time,
nor the last.

O great heartland of 'Uruba, what demonic powers
do you hope to exorcise
through self-immolation?

And what demonic powers
stand at the ready
to replace them?

O great heartland of 'Uruba, have you nothing
left to give beyond this: to be a byword
for the nations?

Dar al-buwar...

The Downward Slide

It started with Reagan, continued with Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama. With Trump, we may have hit bottom. But maybe not. Maybe we still have some way to go: down, down, down.

On Politics

As to political ideals, the GKS is Left Libertarian like the dervish. As to pragmatic political compromise, the GKS is Liberal Ironist like the Sufi.

"On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and sincere apology to Sen.

"These comments do not reflect the values of the DNC or our steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process."

World War III Continues Apace

Although the Munich shooting continues to dominate the headlines, the Afghan bombing claimed more lives.

Islamophobia

The French government declares a state of emergency after a terrorist attack and extends it after a bizarre mass murder by a deranged truck driver and no one bats an eye. In Turkey, a state of emergency is declared after a failed attempt by members of the military to overthrow the democratically elected government and it’s an outrageous slide into authoritarianism.

From Brexit To The Future

"There are alternatives to the current neoliberal arrangements that can create shared prosperity, just as there are alternatives – like US President Barack Obama’s proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership deal with the EU – that would cause much more harm. The challenge today is to learn from the past, in order to embrace the former and avert the latter."
