Some have expressed hopes that the tea partiers, many of whom grew out of the Ron Paul movement, will bring about a shift away from American imperialism through their demands for smaller, cheaper, less intrusive, and more accountable government. But it ain’t necessarily so. The tea partiers generally fail to understand that the indispensable element in the explosive growth of big government over the past ten years has been Washington’s failure to craft a foreign and security policy that is commensurate with the nation’s resources and proportional to the actual level of threat that exists in the world.

The Catholic at Saddam’s Side to Be Executed
Aziz has been in prison since his arrest in 2003, when Saddam’s regime was overthrown.
Before he was imprisoned, Aziz spent the last weeks of his life as Saddam’s deputy in a vain search for a negotiated peace in attempt to stave off the imminent invasion of his country.
“The position of the Catholic Church on the death penalty is known,” Father Federico Lombardi, S.J. (photo) head of the Vatican Press Office, said yesterday after hearing of the Iraqi high court decision.Posted in Iraq | Leave a Comment »
