Synergy of Thought with Time Magazine

In Time Magazine's December 14th issue, the Article "Shrinking The War on Terrorism" by Peter Beinart, has this statement: "Obama's effort to downsize the war on terrorism is partly a function of personality and mostly a function of circumstance. George W. Bush loathed what he called 'small ball.' He saw both his father's presidency and Bill Clinton's as inconsequential and yearned to invest his own with world-historical significance. After 9/11, he immediately began comparing the war on terrorism to World War II and the Cold War - a global, generation-defining struggle against an enemy of vast military and ideological power that would transform whole chunks of the world."



Unfortunately for us and the rest of the world, there was a world-historically significant responsibility placed in his hands, as with all leaders. He just chose door #2 and led our country and our world into the farthest reaches of male hubris, ignorance, and indignant pride since Vietnam, The Cold War, WWI, and WWII. He had the choice to act on behalf of the social and environmental leadership placed before him by Bill Clinton and Al Gore. But instead, he decided to indulge his and his administration's fantasies of world dominance through lies, deceit, torture, and fatal mismanagement of pretty much every system of which he was put in charge. Now, after 8 years of hell, what are we left with?

A destructive world of historical significance! Nice job, Moron! Thanks for all the opportunities to reach down into our darkest depths to employ historically significant qualities and quantities of transformation. The apocalypse has been delivered unto us by the right-wing Christian faith in such prophecies.

Luckily, we still have the choice to have a different faith, a different hope, a different vision, and a different set of actions based on strategic solutions to the world's and history's biggest crises. May a critical mass of humans wake-up to our power of conscious evolution and once again be inspired by our chance at life on this amazing gift of planet we call home, Earth, Gaia! Life is the gift that we share and it can direct us to celebrate one another with empathy, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and love. Once we rise to the challenges of these qualities; then we demonstrate true courage. Then we will achieve the Christian ideal that Jesus preached and personified. Blessings on your journeys of discovery as you come to know your true nature as a unique emanation of the one spirit that manifests everywhere for us to be...
