 | Why Community Activists Shouldn't Run The U.S. Economy »
Barack Obama was a community activist. He had never invested in, managed or started a business, much less served as CEO. He had no relevant experience to operate as CEO of the world's greatest and largest economy. But we gave him the job anyway, and he failed. Wayne Allyn Root asks: Why are we surprised? More » |

Jerusalem, The Biography by Simon Sebag Montefiore
 After reading the amazing history contained in Jerusalem, The Biography, by Simon Sebag Montefiore, I couldn't help but be thankful that our Founding Fathers established a country that allows all citizens the rights to their own religious beliefs and keeps government out of it. (At least, that's the way it's supposed to work.) As a lesson about what happens when governments and religion become intertwined,Jerusalem, though, is a cautionary tale. Because the saga of conflict told inJerusalem not only sheds light on an astounding history of warfare among countries, empires, ethnic groups and civilizations, it demonstrates what happens when militaristic religious leaders decide to rid the Earth of their rivals. The result is a kind of never-ending ethnic cleansing.
The fact that Jerusalem is the center of the spiritual world for so many people seems to make politics there frighteningly complex and deadly. Consequently, if you have any interest in understanding why the area in and around Jerusalem is such a contentious piece of real estate, Jerusalem explicates, in exquisite historical detail, the thousands of years of fighting over a piece of ground that so many people want to possess. Sometimes, the details supplied by Montefiore are a bit overwhelming. But the historical tidbits, footnotes, archaeological gossip and descriptions of what we know or think we know about what historical figures did to each other in this part of the planet are never less than fascinating and illuminating.More » |
