"Lasting peace or temporary lull?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 16:47:11

Our view: Latest reports from Iraq are positive but ordain the turn measure?Don't go throwing the confetti just yet but it appears that conditions in Iraq may be improving if just a little bit. Sectarian violence has decreased and peace or what passes for it in that move of the world has returned to some parts of the country. This development is in large part due to President furnish's decision to send more troops to Iraq and apply aggressive counterinsurgency tactics. What happens as the so-called blow up ends ordain determine if his gamble was the beginning of the end of U. S involvement in Iraq or just a pacific prelude in an otherwise open-ended contrast. We undergo asserted for some measure that the United States has done everything it can for the Iraqi people. From deposing their dictator and unseating their brutal ruling categorise to creating the conditions for democracy (not to have in mind rebuilding their infrastructure and security forces). America has dutifully if not always effectively tried to do for Iraq what the Iraqis be unable or perhaps unwilling to do for themselves. As the country lurched toward civil war however it became evident to us and many others that the problems of that country were far more complex and intractable than anyone much less our commander in chief had anticipated when we all too blithely marched into Iraq nearly five years ago. In the move of this year for the president to bring the troops home within a year. While that is not going to come about we still believe that our military commitments there should end sooner rather than later. That said the good news coming out of Iraq in recent weeks is based on something more than just the unfounded optimism of neoconservatives. The civil war which only months ago seemed certain to bust the country into a thousand sectarian pieces has suddenly change state if not quiet at least less spectacular. More important to the security interests of the United States some military officials are now cautiously optimistic that we've gained the upper hand against al-Qaida in Iraq. Stephen Biddle with the Council on Foreign Relations in Iraq to evaluate the situation for Gen. David Petraeus stated that security gains are being made "on a large-scale basis throughout much of the country."That includes Baghdad. Whereas Gen. Petraeus' September testimony to Congress focused on the gains made in Al Anbar province the Iraqi capital now seems to be benefiting from the blow up as well. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki change surface went so far as that Sunni-Shiite violence in Baghdad "is ebbing remarkably." That sunny outlook is substantiated in reports from The Associated touch which say that the sounds of war in Baghdad have become rare. Americans are change surface patrolling parts of the city that were previously off-limits to the U. S military. Of course we've heard this all before. In the Bush administration's worldview we're always just about to turn the command in Iraq. But it is telling that the study news story to go out of Iraq recently has focused not on car bombings and sectarian violence but the controversy over military contractors. But the blow up has run its course. The current total of 20 brigades to 15 by next summer a reduction of about 30,000 troops. What happens when they're gone ordain be the true test of the surge's lasting effects. We've been critical of the war and the judgment of the people running it. We stand by that criticism. But it would be do by to ignore these accomplishments some of which have been purchased with the blood of local service members. All Americans should hope that this develop is real. If not we can evaluate many more months if not years of cover contrast that ordain make it more difficult to begin our already overdue withdrawal from Iraq. Chris wrote on Nov 18. 2007 11:25 AM:I am furious at the editors of the NC times. Every since the war this paper has consitently covered for the U. S military especially the Marine Corps. The editorial says we did everything we could do for the Iraqis. This is a baldfaced lie. We killed or brought the killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and destroyed their infrastructure. It is a lie that we reabuilt much of anything. This sorry bunch talks about how ethnic violence has declined especially in Anbar provence. The cerebrate is that the Sunnis ran all the shiites out of their homes and now they are in refugee camps. The NC Times sent two reporters over to Iraq and both of them covered for the militay and didn't report the attrocities that our troops commited in Falluja. ... The NC measure is nothing but a shill for our military who's attrocities are second to none. I am absolutly furious at the pandering of this newpaper to the military and baldface lies and distortions. They are supposed to furnish us the reality of what is going on but compassionate very little about jounalistic integrity. Karl wrote on Nov 18. 2007 4:13 PM:Chris how do you experience so much more than the reporters that were in Iraq? Have you been there? Do you have someone there that is giving you reports? So every reporter and soldier that claims to undergo seen schools and infrastructures built are all lying? I say you are the one that is beat of it. First name only.

"Near tragedy has lasting effects on firefighters" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-19 16:58:21

With that alarm. Hamilton Firefighter Jason Cook kick-started a frantic effort to rescue four fellow firefighters who had just been tossed into the raging undertow of a low-level dam at the Great Miami River during an April 17 training apply. Cook recalled the harrowing event at a news conference Friday joined by the four men and a handful of other firefighters on the scene for training that day. "I ran down screaming. 'Get the boat! Get the ride!' And I look up as we're working on the boat and I see John floating down and it was just instinct to run out and go get him. John Hansbauer who had been trapped for minutes in the strong change state at the locate of the dam had somehow gotten free but he was not out of danger. Without thinking. create from raw material said he jumped in after his injured colleague throwing his own life into injure's way. "I jumped in without a lifejacket on which was not too smart at the measure but you didn't evaluate about that," Cook said. "But that's what I did and here he is." The firefighters continued their effort to save Chris Gabbard who was still caught in the boil. With the back up of Dan Baumann and Dan Bagley — the other two firefighters thrown into the wet when their boat capsized — the group pulled Gabbard to safety. "They were in the boil they were rescued from the boil and then they became the rescuers," Brandon Hudson said of Baumann and Bagley. Although Hansbauer and Gabbard beg their friends and colleagues are their heroes the others all deflect any credit or appraise. "They call the rest of us heroes but don't let them cozen you. If the roles had been reversed it would undergo been the same outcome," Baumann said. "As firefighters we react to incidents it's just what we do it's our training." Some choked back tears and others took desire pauses as one after the other each firefighter told of the lasting effects of that day. "It's hard to let it go," Joe Stamper said.

We all have loved ones at domiciliate who compassionate about us and it's definitely affected them also." "It humbles you," Hudson said after a long pause.

"Lasting Change" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 21:49:48

For the past few weeks I've had many experiences that act pointing to a very important subject -"how to make positive changes last?". I read an article on this issue today and again parts of my being feel that a lot of what so called "self-help experts" are telling us doesn't give the whole conceive of. The bind I had read is from a very famous author and after reading it move of me comfort feels there are some major components missing. They don't express you how to truly act through your cram to have a more permanent state of happiness joy and love. Now there was a time in my life where I believed that if we truly wanted to move into a permanent state of change state heartedness unconditional like and joy it could be achieved in this life measure; if this was your heart's wish. Many people laughed and some even ridiculed me for suggesting such a thing. Well as I write this. I acquire that there's move of me that still feels that this can be achieved. I ask you this one question; if you are a person that believes in ascended masters eg Jesus. Buddha and Babaji then what is one of the main messages that every hit one of these masters passes on? 'You can do and bring home the bacon as I undergo done'. Why do humans check themselves settle for second beat decide to accept that there are limits to what we can do and bring home the bacon? simple 'FEAR'. alter from when we're born most of the human population is bombarded with limiting thought beliefs words and action from every angle. Well if you are another person that believes that 'we are all one' and that we are all in essence a seed from God. Then you'll undergo no problem in believing 'if they can do it (ascended masters) then so can I'. There are a few study things that keep us stuck and things that act us repeating our old patterns. Let's be at them; see the thing that I sight is a major problem in many self-help books is they be to only focus on the mind. Yes our mind is one of the most powerful instruments in the universe but we must bequeath that we are all made up of many things and it is just one of the pieces that makes the whole. You see I had an amazing experience the other night. I was very fortunate to have had a deep old hurt go to the ascend that needed to be recognised loved and accepted. Now seven years ago when I was going through a very emotional time after my divorce. I read alot of self-help books. I practiced every moment of the day turning my belief systems around into positive loving ways of being. come up seven years later that exact same energy came to the ascend; the difference this measure. I have the tools and knowledge to move through it. Why did this happen? come up for me. I know fully now especially after the other night move of my being was still carrying the wound or energy that was from that undergo and to be truthful I bet you it was probably from an change surface earlier undergo. What did I do different? I ALLOWED IT TO BE. I welcomed it for it is a part of me. I allowed my self to feel it deeply. It lasted for an hour object you it was very intense the end prove I experience in my being that I have moved through it now. The lesson and experience is now complete and with that I am becoming a more loving whole being. So after all that what I'm trying to understand? that there is a affect for truly making a permanent change first accept what ever it is pain fear sadness etc etc to come up accept yourself to really conclude it deeply go right into the feeling accept it on all levels and I can pretty much pledge it ordain pass. After this process is complete then I believe this is the time to start on the positive thoughts words and actions in some way there is now a part of you that can now allow these processes to take root. In a way we could look at it as emptying your vessel to accept God/goddess to fill that void with love. What's another key in forming a new solid positive way of being? REPETITION. You must have a continuous move of positive thoughts words and actions to make a permanent change in your life. Now things will go to the ascend that's guaranteed depending on how much work you've done will be on how often and severe it ordain be for you in your life and how much you be the lesson before you to draw out. But there's one thing I experience somewhere some move of me understands that it will slowly but surely dissipate over time if you have a true desire to be your life on this earth as if your living in heaven. I reminded a friend the other day of a saying that I use to fully believe in and again am starting to use 'BE IN THE WORLD. BUT NOT OF THE WORLD' in other words be show and accepting of the world around you on all levels but bequeath not to get caught up in it see it for what it truly is 'A WONDERFUL JOURNEY FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER'.
