Photographs


Nathan and Josh pose for a photo inside the Jahangiri Mahal at the Agra Fort. Notice the intricate sandstone carvings, particularly the top of the doorway above us.

A photograph take to show how complete covered the monument is with marble inlay. Take a moment to scan the photograph and see that it is covered from floor to roof!

Close up of a Jaali. I was thinking that I might like my windows to be covered with these if I didn't live in such a cold climate.

In all the fur flying all over the place over Gaza I notices this one talkback from an article on YNet about the death of an IDF soldier.

Things That Stick: The Cost of War

Forgive me, as it was a long time ago, but in my 11th grade year I had, for some period of time a teacher named Mr. Souder (forgive the spelling too!). He was a way leftie, as I recall his area of research; how labor unions prevented a socialist revolution from happening in the United [...]

Does This Sound Familiar?

I copy this directly from the pages of WikiPedia:

Reinforcing the relative decline in U.S. power and the dissatisfaction of Europe and Japan with the system was the continuing decline of the dollar—the foundation that had underpinned the post-1945 global trading system. The Vietnam War and the refusal of the administration of U.S. President Lyndon B. [...]

War by Other Means — Building Complete and Balanced Capabilities for Counterinsurgency

I have an RSS feed to my desktop of newly published Rand reports. I tend to read the summaries instead of the long studies, as even a student of the world doesn’t need to know the detail invovled in 700 pages treatises on a particular subject.

The report cited in the title, War by Other Means [...]

The Latest Mindfuck

Hope is defined as ‘a wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment.’

It is not clear to me how the ugliest and most wasteful vehicle ever made, one that goes against every reasonable trend in the world, is the root cause of why we are fighting a war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and [...]

One More Time: Being Right Is SOOOO Nice!

As you might be reading about our President’s recent speech in which he continues to show his detachment from reality.

From the Wash Post:

Historian Robert Dallek, who has written about the comparisons of Iraq to Vietnam, accused Bush of twisting history. ‘It just boggles my mind, the distortions I feel are perpetrated here by the president,’ [...]

We Were Right, er Left!

HAHAHAHA – Do a little dance, we were right:

After offering a bleak assessment of the Bush administration’s strategy in Iraq, Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said today that he was urging lawmakers and President Bush to change course quickly to protect a further erosion of America’s [...]

Fall Guy

Listening to the verdict made me laugh, G-d Bless America, please we need every blessing we can get.

Libby obstructed justice, committed perjury and made false statements when he told FBI agents and the grand jury investigating the leak that he had possessed no official knowledge

I appears that Libby is the fall guy for the corrupt [...]

This Is So Much Fun! Nuclear Annihilation & Climate Change

G-d Bless Rand:

President George W. Bush’s most recent address to the American people on Iraq may be the scariest presidential message since Ronald Reagan announced that he had launched a nuclear strike against the Soviet Union. Reagan was just kidding. Bush is not.

Immediate reaction to the president’s speech has focused on the intended increase in [...]

Kind Of Nice To Be Right

But it kind of sucks too. I just did a quick lunchtime read of the The Iraq Study Report and the situation is not looking too good for Iraq. I wish I could say I was amused, even sarcastically bemused, at the smug sense I get while reading. Everything those of us on my side [...]
