Why This Dead Man Matters


Alexandare Litveneko. Who is this man? He is a man who was investigating the suspicious death of a reporter who opposed Vladimir Putin. Now he is dead, and his death is more suspicious. He died quickly, and the British doctors who attend him don't know exactly why his immune system suddenly shut down, his heart stopped working, and his respiratory system failed. All they know is that he got sick in Russia.
He was killed. Vladimir Putin is an evil man.
Vladimir Putin is selling arms to Iran.
American politicians are fighting against our aggression in the middle east, thinking that pulling back is a good idea. Oh what fools our politicians are. Right in front of our face, our enemies are lining up and buying guns. And we are voting on American Idol and asking, "Are we still in Iraq? What a shame."
That is why Alexandare matters. Why is Vladimir Putin offing his own citizens? Nancy Pelosi, I know you are more worried about getting Hillary into the White House, but how about asking some more important questions than "Why are we in Iraq?" A better question would be, "Why aren't we in Tehran?"

Why we arn't in tehran is a very easy question to answer. While we have the military power to defeat any other country that ever existed, we simply don't have the will to do it. Not to mention that china and russia will side with Iran. And also the little fact that Iran can cause our gas prices to skyrocket. And our media wouldn't let that go. They would turn this country on the war very quickly and easily. And that is a sorry statement. That the news media has the power to influence people so greatly.

Scott, you nailed it. It is sad that our news media so easily influences the sheep of the nation.
