Stoking the fires

Regarding your post - Those fires don't need stoking. They have been burning since 500 years after the birth of Christ.
I would say to this that obviously violence has done nothing to put out those fires. We bomb one country and the torch gets passed to a different country. Until we realize that this is not a traditional fight in the sense of WWI and WWII we will be on the losing end. That torch that is being passed from country to country has now become an inferno. We have in essence thrown gasoline on those fires that have been burning.
As far as no attacks since 9/11, not sure why that is - I do not have a crystal ball and all the speculation in the world will not provide facts about why that is. But I do not feel that will last. Hope I am wrong.

State Fires 2 for Looking at Obama File

State Department Fires 2 Workers for Inappropriately Looking at Barack Obama's Passport File
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Two contract employees for the State Department have been fired and a third disciplined for inappropriately looking at the passport file of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's passport file, a spokesman said Thursday.
Spokesman Sean McCormack said the department itself detected the instances of "imprudent curiosity," which occurred separately on Jan. 9, Feb. 21 and March 14. He would not release the names of those who were fired and disciplined.
"We believe this was out of imprudent curiosity, so we are taking steps to reassure ourselves that that is, in fact, the case," McCormack said.
Bill Burton, a spokesman for Obama's presidential campaign, called for a complete investigation.
"This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years. Our government's duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes," Burton said.
"This is a serious matter that merits a complete investigation, and we demand to know who looked at Senator Obama's passport file, for what purpose, and why it took so long for them to reveal this security breach," he said.
McCormack said it was not immediately clear what the contract employees may have seen in the records or what they were looking for. He said he did not know the names of the companies they worked for.
The department has informed Obama's Senate office of the breach, and a personal briefing for the senator's staff was scheduled for Friday, McCormack said.
You think people smashing store windows and setting fires is good?
if you codone that then you have serious issues.
