Thoughts Part II
What are your guys' thoughts on Social Security and Medicare (or the overall health-system)? I have general knowledge on both, just wondering where you all stand and how you feel about them. Personally, Social Security needs to be reformed or something else to take its place and the health0care system needs to be reformed as well. How to do it, I'm not sure yet, but you can bet that I'll be researching this over the course of this semester. Happy Valentines Day, eat some chocolate.

Views on the Palestinian-Israeli Affair
First off the P/I affair is a political/social/geographical failure in its own right. The drawing of lines after World War II displacing many of the Palestinians by European Jewish refugees.
1) Aftermath of World War II, hasty solution
Adding to my intro, after world war II, the displacement of the Palestinians because of the wave of Jewish refugees has ruined the cultural entrance all must go through in a foreign land. These fake borders has caused a lot of animosity and strife for the Palestinians that their hatred has contributed to the Revolution of Rising Expectations. This gives root to legitimacy to their influence over the youth.
2)Western Foreign Policy: Years and years of stagnation
I know you're well aware of the poor policies made in the middle east, specifically with the Gaza strip and such. Even worse, talks between the two leaders of Israel and the Palestinians have always ended in small-gains of peace and stability or a compromise that only helps Israel. AIPAC and other Jewish interest groups (other MNC contributors) have funded several "sponsored" trips for wealthy individuals, politicians, and other notable figures of power. Though the intentions of the trips are never revealed, it's somewhat conclusive of these interest groups' agenda for the powerful. Lets not forget all the media hype for "Support Israel" and the whole "Terrorist Psychology" of 9/11, it has shifted our policy to support Israel for an even lucrative purpose...not just oil but a route to Tehran.
Speculation of Encirclement of Syria and Lebanon isn't too far fetched as these past events have all involved the I/P affair. What I am actually saying is that Washington and the EU have (mostly America) have planned out a route to Tehran (since the Embassy crisis). Why Tehran? Well world war III, that's why. The US are placing troops and military bases back in the south pacific to contain the influence of China and North Korea (South Chin Sea oil). With Iraq taken care of, the US and EU won't have to worry about their rears from a wild dictator. Afghanistan is a crucial area as it is a link between China, Russia, and Iran (China and Russia encompass most of Iran's oil export). But the fight is getting thick and harder for America. Now the EU has placed oil sanctions on Iran which means the EU will be going to war soon.
Going back to Syria and Lebanon, the I/P affair is a terrible political sacrifice with the notion of a strong military foothold in the middle east, along with Iraq and Afghanistan. Now Syria has to bleed and Lebanon has to retaliate for their neighbors creation of chaos, if a US/NATO force could squeeze a through a narrow corridor straight to Damascus and then Tehran. This brings Turkey into play (committing the most troops to the UN peace keeping forces around the world and is a growing power (not to mention Obama has done a decent job with relations with Turkey) and will launch their attack with the support of more NATO/UN forces in the Mediterranean. Then yada yada world war III and so on...
The I/A affair is a sad policy and geographical error that should not have happened. But the ancient ties of the land and the people are so integrated (control of the city, border disputes, Palestinian sovereignty, etc.) But that's just 3/4's the cake I'll have to say about that haha

Please comment and annotate, whatever, just edit haha
I'll be posting some of my philosophical ideas/interpretations. Nothing too in depth or awe inspiring, just some key philosophical perceptions that are affecting and/or will affect our race and future. Sorry, I know this blog is mainly used to connect with one another (or attempt), but the majority of us are good writers and intellectual people and I know you guys could really help me on this.
Thanks and Cheers!
