Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety.
But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers. Though it's depicted as a classic clash of the secular and the religious, it actually illustrates why Christian act

Nice post. GITMO is a holding prison and not a rehabilitation facility. The problem with releasing these people back to their countries or in US is that they will kill again. Americans seem to think that you can rehab or control anyone, when in fact killing those who go against your upbringing is their way of life, not something that just happened over time. They are willing to kill themselves for the greater of good of their religion.
Closing GITMO only serves to “satisfy” the unbelievable apologies that Obama has made on behalf of Americans. However, no one complains when we give their country monies, or make their countries wealthy even at the peril of America. Sorry to say, but until we vote out Obama and his clan, this country is heading for another great depression with the spending and all the companies that are going to China and other places to get away from this administration.
Nice post.

These men are prisoners of war. They deserve to have a trial as we would want that for any of our soldiers if they were captured and confined to a prison. We would also would not want our soldiers tortured if they were captured. We fought for these injustices in World II, how can we turn our backs on what we are doing or have done.
The war in Iraq was not justified. We invaded and took over that country just as Hitler did to some many countries. The war has killed over 4,000 of our soldiers, injuried tens of thousands both mentally and physcially. This war has also killed over 600,000 Iraqis. What would we think if another country did that to us. How did the American people and government just turn a blind eye to what was going on. Isn’t this how Hilter took over the people of Germany and then went on to kill and torture millions of people.
