Things I Do Not Understand

…truth hurts. What I cannot understand is that a nation of immigrants has become anti-immigrant.  Again, it must be opposite day. 6.  War (part deux) In every single conflict that ever was, there has always been a reason.  We look back at history and there are times (like Vietnam) when it was a very big mistake.  Yet, we are only able to identify mistakes after the fact and are not very good at stopping wars when we know they are a mistake (Iraq.)…
