Bill O'Reilly: The Triumph of Evil

I don't think this current 'humanitarian campaign' is at all to do with any humanitarian effort. Ghadaffi is a lawless criminal and a dictator and that has been learned and digested, in the hardest terms, for the last 40 years.

The truth, I think everybody knows is the first victim on every conflict. And I believe another one that says than in war is that there is no substitute to victory.

However, it seems, perception, or the law of politics, beats any truth or any reality and so, these uprisings in the Middle East, of which we know so little, because even though they are all long overdue, there is another much more terrible war going on, besides the war on poverty, and it is the war on terrorism and the enemy which is much closer to the devil than what the political perception wants to admit, is not just ruthless and fanatic, but it is also one sided and its objective is not humanitarian but of extermination, annihilation, of anyone who thinks differently from them who dictate people how to think.

Of course, oil has been a problem because the perception, again, wants us all to believe, they only have it and we don't and again, the perception once more, tell us it is sinful to use it, however, it is only there and not here, and then again, it is not really what appear to be the case but that we, keep hiding to ourselves the fact that the Middle East, could easily be overrun by leaving them alone with their oil and with their ideas, but wait!

Who is that stupid and has money to buy all the weaponry these guys have? After all, they 'promise' they would not use it against their own people!

Remember ‘whack the dog?’ Bill Clinton? The pharmaceutical plant bombed by him on humanitarian grounds?

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

What is going wrong with the world?!

After the question which seems to come back at every generation, the clearest answer is perhaps… ‘Selfishness’ The point is very simple, when we put our own ego, our self, at the center of everything… Do we expect the rest of the world to bend backwards to satisfy us? We do have fundamental freedoms like opinion, religion, etc. Are those freedoms to be limited by the freedom of others? Are those freedoms to limit the freedom of others?
