Optimism in the face of an unbalanced situation.

Iraqi Insurgency - Why and what motivation...

An interesting paper out of a Washington Think Tank. It is curious that the media never addresses why this is going on. What is the goal of destabilization? What is the aim of the extremists? Just ousting the US seems to obvious and simple. They would leave sooner if things just settled down... Or would they?

Reading further you begin to realize the insanity of the why. The claim is that it is just to create an extremist anti-western state. A breeding ground for hatred and a void of understanding. The West doesn't deserve any more or less compassion than anyone else. Well, maybe less. But one also has to ask if this is clever Republican propaganda. Critical of the Bush Administration, but still inciting fear, and drumming up support of the need to control the situation in Iraq.

Maybe I need another does of Occam...

Occam's Razor

Occam's Razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A principle to live buy. The bane of conspiracy theorists. Sometimes the conspiracies are true though! [sic]

Wikipedia is almost too good to be true. Altruism at its finest, although I am interested to see if the revisionists ever wage a campaign against the truth...

Whatever that is...

My experiments in writing

I keep coming back to the thought that ideas about balance, moderation and equilibrium and how they relate to our society need to be explored or we may grow and consume ourselves out of existence. This vein of thought is rich with connection to other areas of thought. It brushes close to the presumption of grasping the "purpose of life". But, I am not trying to create a new religion; I just want to discuss the things that make me worry about children and children's children.
