POPSFighting Wars Won't Make You a Hero When we create a legion of heroes in our minds, we blind ourselves to evidence of their destructive, sometimes atrocious, behavior. Heroes, after all, don’t commit atrocities. Atrocities and murderous blunders, so common to war’s brutal chaos, produce cognitive dissonance in the minds of many Americans who simply can’t imagine their “heroes” killing innocents. How much easier it is to see the acts of violence of our troops as necessary, admirable, even noble. In rejecting the “heroic” label, don’t think we’d be insulting our troops. Quite the opposite: we’d be making common cause with them, for most of our troops undoubtedly already reject the “hero” label. Most simply want to survive and come home with their bodies, their minds, and their buddies intact. Whatever nationality they may be, troops at the front know the score.

POPS Obama Pal Rashid Khalidi Back in the News for Aiding Hamas Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking. His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."... he warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor's going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say. by Andrew McCarthy http://bit.ly/dsqebX http://corner.nationalreview.com

POPSHot Spings National Park Trails July 15 2010 I thought yesterday was hot, I was wrong. It is a scorcher this morning, it feels more like noon when I left at 7:45 am. When I step outside my sunglasses totally fog over leaving me blind. This is my first summer in the South and I am on a learning curve. The park entrance area at the Arlington Lawn is empty, this is very unusual. As I head up into the park I am glad to have a large contain of Hot Springs water. The heat and air feel heavy and add to my workout as I climb up onto Hot Springs Mountain. Nothing appears to be moving accept for me. I hike up the Dead Chief Trail and when I begin the short Cut Trail I spot a group of Ladies nearing the top of the first incline. The YaYa Sisterhood could not be stopped by an overheated Arkansas morning.

In one of my previous post I had tried to explain that what it means by Sabta Sindhu.I repeat it that sabta is sato ot sut or seven and sindhu stands for river.Under Indus water treaty( I am still trying to work out why at all India and world bank opted to attach this water treaty with Indus River and I will write a separate post soon) Pakistan was forced by the World Bank and USA to fore go our rights over the waters of river Sutluj and river Ravi in favour of India.As an alternative World Bank extended huge loans to construct link canals to irrigate the lands which were previously receiving water from centuries old rivers.It was agreed to build Chashma-Jhelum Link Canal and Taunsa-Mailisi Link Canal to connect Sindh River with the areas previously irrigated by Sutluj and Ravi.That was the most disastrous deal made by Pakistan under duress from US and World Bank.I am totally blind to understand that why Sassi Paleejoo is crying to close Chashma-Jhelum Link Canal that was built mainly

POPSBlind Descent - A Book About Extreme Caving Besides being a book that looks like it might be interesting to read, this reminds me of a Buddhist teaching and why they focus so much on death and being at ease with death. Apparently the little deaths (and the fears associated with them) we experience via our everyday lives is nothing like the fear (they say) we face when we actually die. Hence, they encourage us to befriend death in all its myriad appearances.

POPSGlucosamine Worthless For Back Pain Glucosamine helped me improve mobility in a shoulder but I still have back pain. I bet there are people who will hate this because they felt it was helping ( even if that help was just based on faith in the product)
