Once the U.S. fully withdraws from Iraq the decision will probably be out of Obama's hands.

Sad to say, but President Obama will decide what happens in Syria. If Obama so chooses, the Sunni Islamists ( the Muslim Brotherhood and others ) will take over Syria. If not, the pro-Iranian Assad dictatorship will remain in power. So it will either be a dictatorship by the majority ( Sunni Muslims...

Interesting. I have never found most people to be disdainful of the idea things are getting worse and have been for a couple of decades. I recall a Scouting workshop my son was attending to complete one of his merit badges on international citizenship that touched on foreign trade. The instructor re...

I think it's an interesting question, though. If you know the cycle, can it be broken? Generational theory hasn't been around for long and generational dynamics even less than that, so not many know of it. If everyone or the majority of people did, could it affect the cycle?

If we can get the United States to destroy most of it's nuclear weapons the world would be much fairer. Pakistan is building up toward 400 hundred strategic Nukes. China is building up toward a thousand nuclear weapons. Obama has signed a treaty that only requires the United States to reduce nuclear...
