The Iraqi Kurds, if properly armed, are more than capable of dealing with ISIS. We have a good working relationship with the Kurds. They are fierce fighters but outgunned since ISIS now has possession of the military assets we left behind in Iraq. In essence, the United States has armed ISIS...

Reluctantly, I agree. Having disrupted what stability Iraq previously had, we now owe them some basic level of protection. Like it or not, they are now under our protection. Arm the Kurds so they can take on ISIS. ISIS is a savage menace not only to their fellow Muslims, but to Western...

I will ask the question a third time, does the United States have a moral obligation to protect ordinary citizens of Iraq from acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing and mass slaughter?

Germany and Japan are not under military occupation. Nor is South Korea. Yes, Germany and Japan were soundly defeated which is not the case with Islamic extremists in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the modern era of television, the US and other Western democracies are restrained by political...

In earlier times, the US left a residual peacekeeping force when wars were over. Think of the US military presence in postwar Germany, Japan and Korea. These peacekeeping forces worked precisely as intended. Regrettably, the current US administration chose not to leave residual forces in Iraq...

A female member of the Iraqi parliament made an emotional plea for help as her ethnic minority, the Yazidis, were fleeing to the Sinjar Mountains as ISIS threatened genocide. This woman's cry for help is credited with prompting the US military response to beat back ISIS by airstrikes...

Trivia question: when rain fills a creek in Richmond, Virginia, the creek flows into a river leading the water to the Atlantic Ocean. So, when it rains in Dickenson County, Virginia, the creeks lead to the Russell Fork of the Big Sandy River. Which great body of water eventually receives the...

Skimming through writings of early Kentucky settlement produced the following account of the Kentucky General Assembly's program to reduce the wolf population. A cash bounty was placed on the scalp of wolves presented to the local sheriif of each county. A close reading of Article 5 of the...

I like Rick Perry's style of governing. Yes, he floundered his first run at the presidency. Texas has a great story to tell, in no small part due to Perry. Rick Perry should not be underestimated. He would make an outstanding US president.

My wife and I moved to Myrtle Beach in February and we have been enormously pleased overall. Our home sets 500 feet from the beach and nearly everyday we learn new things about coastal life and the subtle differences in biodiversity found in South Carolina. Horry County is rampant with deer...
