Just what we need, something else for people to remind us to be afraid of.

Before the war in Iraq I was asking why we were not invading Cuba before. Every reason given to invade Iraq applied to Cuba AND Cuba is only 91 miles off our coast.

Iran we have been at war with since 1979. This is not reminding people to be afraid. This is two of our enemies coming together. The media is ignoring this real threat to report imagined ones.

I will keep writing about this as long as it takes.

Great article Brad,

When the Soviet Union disbanded there was a collective sigh of relief from the entire free world. The five remaining communist countries did not pose any immediate threat to the United States on their own and China, the largest potential problem, has established solid trade relations which pretty much guarantee no involvement in any sort of action.

The thought that with the USSR the communist threat has been eliminated is very much mistaken. The communist goal is still, as much as ever, to dominate the world. I realize in this day and age where so many don't even remember when Russia was a communist state and so many more have no idea of the ancient history involving the Cuban Missile Crisis or how close to actual nuclear war we came that this threat sounds so cliche' but that line of thinking is exactly what the communist party relies upon.

The goal of domination will be obtained through any one or more of several devices. Domination could be won through internal revolution, military conquest, or convergence of capitalistic and communist systems into one world government.
Where have I heard that term used before? Still yet it never fails to send chills up my spine.

Right now we are concerned over North Korea establishing Nuclear Capabilities. If this were to happen and their strength were combined with a strong ally and communist Cuba, as you say, only 90 miles south of Florida a military action could be considered. This, taken into consideration our inept border control and the Cuban 'Wet feet/Dry feet" policy it almost serves as an open invitation to smuggle hoardes through Fl.

Another action to consider is through internal revolution. This may seem far fetched until you look at the current politics of our country.
In my lifetime I have never witnessed the devisiveness we are experiencing today and that includes the sixties. Again, this is what the party plans on, a civil war for us is a foot in the door for them.

This is a precarious time for us. This is a time we should be standing firmly together, instead we have a presidential administration tearing us apart. This is a time we should be financially stable, rather we have a president who has given us the highest deficit in history and this is a time that we should have a strong army rather than worn out troups fighting an unknown, unseen enemy who will never be depleted.

This is a time we need strong leadership more than ever rather than a posturing sycophant taking chances with our lives for the sake of nothing more than how he is perceived in history,
to hell with all of us.
