My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death

It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law.

In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress “suspects.”

Lies and Mysteries Surrounding Bin Laden’s Death

The men who executed Bin Laden did not act on their own: they were following orders from the US Government. They had gone through a rigorous selection process and were trained to accomplish special missions. It is known that the US President can even communicate with a soldier in combat.

Arleen Rodríguez Derivet

raw dog food recipes p>A Playa Girón hero told me a couple of days ago that he frequently felt nostalgic about those days when at only 20, he manned a mortar battery and went to battle with a smile, because all his utopias were intact. Even I felt infected by his feelings as I reviewed

The War That Never Ended

The War That Never Ended

150 years ago, shells were lobbed into Fort Sumpter, South Carolina, and the Civil War began. In 4 years, over 600,000 combatants were killed, more than in Vietnams long, 9-year war. Isn’t it interesting that the war fought to preserve slavery was fought in the nation called “land of the free?” From 1861 to 1865
