In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

I will trust him. whatever, wherever i am, i can never be thrown away. if i am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if i am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. my sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. he does nothing in vain.

Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.

Donald trump is doing well. trump is shocking everybody. he's shocking the democrats. he's shocking the republicans. he's shocking world. contrast what's happened here in just the last three days with eight years of barack obama. we have had no apologizing. we've had no bowing. we've had a president of the united states actually tell the heads of state of countries where terrorism is rampant to get rid of it, to drive it out. we've had a president of the united states directly confront iran where his our previous president threw everybody else overboard for iran.

I know the gop is called the stupid party, but the idea that republicans can have the confederate flag hung around their neck is ridiculous! it's a democrat flag! the flags - states that seceded during the civil war were all democrat states. that's their flag. the slave states were democrat states! the racist states until the 1960s were democrat states!

Science is turning into a monastery for the order of capitulant friars. logical calculus is supposed to supersede man as moralist. we submit to the blackmail of the 'superior knowledge' that has the temerity to assert that nuclear war can be, by derivation, a good thing, because this follows from simple arithmetic.

The colossus of world war ii seemed to be like a pyramid turned upside down, and for the moment the whole burden of the war rested on the few hundred german fighter pilots on the channel coast.
