Matisse_: No, but whoever designed the 2014 Sochi Uniform for the American Team should be charged with 'Outfit Terrorism'
Blame designer, Ralph Lauren... Who was criticized for initially having these designer things made in China. Following heavy criticism and pressure Team USA attire ended up being made domestically.

They outsource everything these days, Iconic DM's are not made in London but in China and Thailand.
World famous Converse All Star sneakers are made in Vietnam or Brazil.
All because people want to pay less, so they give up comfort and quality to keep up with the greed of consumerism.
reb56: blame kissenger n ilk/cronies at work/skull n bones,etc.back to serfs/peon ways n days.usa ppl dont want war,our kids have to fight wars,blame D.C.
No, I won't blame anybody else. Anybody under 70/80 - including people my age - in the West has had it easy. And we've had it easy because we've not been doing enough and we've spending money we don't have for decades.
The blue-collar, reb, have gained the least from the fiat-fantasyland. Yet it was Boomer voters, Boomer politicians, Boomer ethics, Boomer consumers, Boomer business and Boomer welfare which has led us to where we are. They founded this joke of an economy and culture of victimhood and failure.
That rag-tag generation of hippies and yuppies has been the worst generation the West has ever known, this is not even up for debate anymore as proof is in the pudding. It's only hushed up now because Boomers are still in power, but you're aging, and with each passing day people are beginning to understand that we cannot carry in the way that we once did. We cannot follow the Boomer way.
Do you understand your own ideology or the times you live in, Conrad? What would Objectivism say about the state and the economy that the Boomers have created? Hm? It's not that far removed from what I'm saying(although I am not an Objectivist).
You might envy the young, Conrad, but there's no way on earth that the trillions of debt can blamed on those too young to either vote or work. And everybody knows who is to blame for this.
The greatest threat to world peace are generations gibsmedat. And if we put our hand on our hearts, and think critically, then we all know who was the first and founding of the over-entitled gibsmedats.
The fact that we can be here in 2014, the lowest point in Western history in 500 years, and yet barely a cluster of Westerners hold themselves accountable for the state of the West is itself the perfect demonstration of how the gibsmedat thinks.

it sounds to me that you don't think much of anyone in my boomer generation. That's too bad. Makes me sad.
Ccincy: Don't know how true this is but I read that the 4 biggest threats to Gobal peace are:1.U.S.
2.Pakistan
3.China
4.Afghanistan.
Some others are also a threat. Not always the U.S. are a threat or a salvation, depends on the mood of many.
The U.S. have strange friends around the world. If your government thinks that a country is a threat for any of these friends, this breaks the balance and you're involved in a new war.

Love the editorial cartoon; good choice. But this does underline the problem with Putin and Syria. After days of talking about bombing alleged targets in Syria, there hasn’t been a single mention of the facts that Syria is under a defence agreement with Russia, as Putin pointed out weeks ago. Syria’s missile defence system is handled by Russian crews on a rotational basis for the last several years. Assad wants a phone call from Obama asking [permission from a sovereign state to overfly and bomb targets and Putin must be chuckling waiting to step in or is he going to allow US planes over his ally to bomb targets…if the US govt. has a secret agreement with Putin not to object , verbally or by his silence seems to be the unasked question by the US Congress. Could Putin allow his Syrian ground crews to open fire on US planes invading their air space…some people seem to have totally forgotten that Syria is a Russian ally and they have the very same type of agreement as many of the US allies have; that an attack on one is an attack on all other allies. The legal and moral obligation to defend one’s ally becomes paramount. Why would Syria not open fire if Putin remains silent or by remaining silent, is Putin allowing the US to attack selected targets or could he be setting up a pretext to open fire on US planes…no one seems concerned.
I would really love to see these other countries who don't like the USA, tell the USA, WE don't need your money, your military, your medical help or anything! BTW, I bet these countries can really take on a fight with the enemy. I for one would like the USA to cut off ALL aid to all countries who don't like us. Then I would really like to kick the U.N out of the USA! Too bad other countries cant work together. How long do you think other countries would last without our help, but if you want help from the terrorists, don't cry for our help, put your big boy pants on and take care of it YOURSELF!

Don't forget some terrorists created by USA. The Afghanistan Mujahedins,against the Russians,were trained and armed by the US.
