Charles Krauthammer: Making sense of Obama’s Middle East speech | Full Comment | National Post


Peace can only be possible with the truth, and absolute truth, not a relative one. It can be argued that Israel has its truth and that Palestine and with it, the whole Arab and Persian world has its own truth; but still the actual fact is that only one truth exists and if peace is the word so much utilized across decades of negotiations, then peace needs to be that elusive truth, the common goal, the point of concurrence.

Unfortunately, peace is too made relative to the political winds in the Middle East. If the existence and presence of Israel is not going to be 'accepted' not to say 'tolerated' in the area, why then not just embrace the side that calls for its disbanding and wait for the outcome. 

But it's been seen across many decades as well, that many wars have been fought precisely with that objective and that still the objective seems to be that, unchanged. Before, during and after the 1967 war, the six day war; the goal has been the same and it is 'unchanged' and now, a President that never worked in private life and so without an actual clue on how realities of life are; spends years to bring down the Bush doctrine in the Middle East only to end up embracing it and then again, proposes not to go to the beginning, nor to put and end to the conflict but to find a spot 35 years ago where nothing really changed, except that some Arab countries lost territory in a war designed to destroy the one, but where the 'one' ended up increasing its security by expanding its area of security. 

I think it is either incompetence of Obama or his hidden brotherhood to the many, that makes this possible. Things are definitively worst.

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.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
