"Unemployment runs between 30 and 50 percent."And yet: "Iraq's economy is growing strong, even booming in places." Other Iraqi economic indicators must be doing VERY well indeed in order to compensate for such high unemployment. Even so, human resources being the most valuable of all, that 30-50% MUST become employed sooner or later if Iraq is ever going to become and remain properous and free. |

As a kid I was crazy about military decorations and badges of rank.Until very recently there've been only 2 chaplain insignia badges in the US military. One for Jews (2 stone tablets topped by star of david) and one for Christians (cross). Today there's one for Muslims (crescent moon), causing me to wonder when there'll be badges for Hindus, Buddhists, etc.; and what they will look like. All of this also makes me wonder what the eventual effect will be on the unity & cohesion of our armed forces, which is so vital to any military enterprise, now that the "spiritual" (and arguably the most fundamental) aspect of military unity is being divided-up to accommodate increasing diversity & PC influence. I understand Britain and Rome succeeded with their respective empires using SEGREGATED units of varying faiths, but I don't see that happening with our forces, since "segregation" is such a dirty word now. |
