america is gadhafi’s love child

all of this focus on increases the longevity of war. in fact, i no longer think has a global voice. especially in the case of . if anything i think america has become nothing more than the perverse - of gadhafi and the media.

but its not just with gadhafi though, its the presumptions that inhabit america. and when i refer to america i do not refer to the individuals who populate the nation called america, but the shadow of america that represents itself, something other than america. its the of america, the doppelganger. the evil underbelly that has somehow assumed its role as the universal -figure who needs to run everything and walk with a big stick. the institution of america better said.

the more wars and globa disagreements america gets involved in the more obscene its reputation becomes and is received by the rest of the global competitors. the more gadhafi is pursued and the more blood that is let, the more america becomes the ultimate terrorist and tyrant. although gadhafi is and has participated in atrocious acts, the worst acts have come from western retaliation.

let’s use another example to strengthen that point. look at how reacted to saddam hussein, a known terrorist, what did america do, they reacted to a terrorist with terrorism (by hanging him publicly) – what did we do with osama, we killed him and some of his family. but the collateral damage was justified because he was brought to ‘justice’. this un-accountability of america has put the reputation of the world at stake. are we barbarians that we should need to destroy each other and find ways to justify it by using over-politicized rhetoric??

malta.

so we are going to malta in a few days. i did some research on this little island. it seems at one time, the Apostle Paul may have actually shipwrecked here on one of his missionary journeys. and the hospitality of the islanders is still be rivaled to this day. hidden in the medieval annals of the life of this island is a bit of history from some of the warrior monks we now know as the Crusaders and they used this island as a base for some of their operations. they called themselves “St. John’s” group. if you go into a grocery story and you are either in the medical aisle looking for gauze or in the face cream aisle you might come across a brand by the name of “St. John’s Wort”, a brand inspired after these warrior monks who daylighted as doctors to help those in need, even at times there enemies. they used their wisdom to help those in pain. those chose the higher ground of compassion to meet people at the point of their need. i haven’t been there yet, but, i hope to come back with even more insight on this short trip/holiday. i think travelling gives us the opportunity to see that the world is bigger than we are. that the world is beautiful and diverse and that is also gives us some insight into humanity…
