suggests that Blair be put in a padded cell. I think she's amazingly thoughtful in her comments, except at the end where she was a little harsh on President Obama. I think she underestimates how powerful the war party is, and de-escalation happens in phases under those conditions.

After Jan 1, 2015...Mr. Obama is not a dove in my humble opinion...and will throw anyone in jail for life if you share the Secret Sauce of War. I really wish this wasn't true, but that's just a wish and I'm too old to spend my days wishing against facts.

and likely a Knight of Malta. That explains a good bit of the Insanity. They live in a World of Visions and Superstitions, a modern Dark Age, where reason and facts don't matter.

- It is in the nature of the psychopathic beast to want to control people and politics is one of the best ways to accomplish this. It's called, Political Ponerology.
