WHY THE WEST--AS IT IS NOW--CAN'T DEFEAT ISLAMISM

Too many politicians in the West put most of their emphasis on material wealth. 

 It is an ingrained belief in Washington that the U.S. can simply buy friends around the world.

This works for a while so long as we can find puppets such as the Shah of Iran and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt who will do our bidding so long as we keep paying them and who can stay in power with our behind the scenes work to keep them there.

Unfortunately, for those who think this way, there are those who don't value material wealth and who can't be bought. Islam seems to have a lot of leaders in this category.

The late Grand Ayatollah  Ruhollah Khomeini (now deceased) was one of those people. 

Remember during the Iranian revolution how American politicians called him crazy?  In fact, that's the usual way our politicians portray any leader who won't take their money. Khomeini was happy to sit on a carpet in a humble,sparsely furnished apartment after returning to Iran.

We're now seeing in Egypt and in the rest of the Middle East the emergence of even more leaders who can't be bought.

Get ready for the overuse of the terms "crazy," "nuts," "insane," as these leaders emerge and are content to live just like the common people without great wealth.

The CM PRESS has linked to Al-Jazeera for several years.  We found that we could get a better idea of what was really going on in the Middle East from it than from most U.S. news sources.

BIG DOINGS AT THE COSTA MESA CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT
Link to agenda

Helicopter is likely to be grounded. Tom Hatch gets a contract with the City. City Manager title changes to CEO. Field use fees may change. Two cop positions to be eliminated.

Get ready for packed City Council chambers as the usual out of town employees show up with the uniform groupies to try to intimidate the Council into voting in ways that are not best for citizens who actually live here in Costa Mesa and who care about this city.

Expect Wendy Leece to vote to keep the helicopter (remember, she was supported in the last election by the out of town employees).

One note about the change of "City Manager" to "CEO."  The former title is so often used, that Mr. Hatch may spend a lot of time explaining to people that although his title is now CEO he is really a City Manager. "Really. Honest.  See, that's what it says on my business card."

We are reminded that once, so we heard, a college wanted a special degree designation instead of Phd. for those who got their doctorates in psychology and thus came up with the new title of Doctor of Psychology or Dpsy. 

Rumour has it that after they awarded just one degree with this new title they discovered that people were making fun of the one guy with the degree by calling him a Dipsy. They then changed the title back to Phd.
