Faith in an ideology based on a desire for power over others and the need to feel personally superior without any legitimate accomplishment is perhaps the most dangerous state of being an individual or society can adopt. I would refer to such a mindset as “zealotry,” an integral element of cultism and an extreme result of the elitist side of faith.
The war talk in America is playing right into the terroists hands. Its time to finally live up to American ideals if we don't want to crash and burn.

It has been a strange two days for US foreign policy.
Earlier today we reported that in what amounts to a significant blow to the official US position over Syria, namely the multi-year demands to replace president Assad with a western puppet ruler, John Kerry on Tuesday accepted Russia's long-standing demand that President Bashar Assad's future be determined by his own people, as Washington and Moscow edged toward putting aside years of disagreement over how to end Syria's civil war."
Earlier today, in "The Humiliation Is Complete: Assad Can Stay, Kerry Concedes After Meeting With Putin," we documented John Kerry's visit to Moscow where America's top diplomat discovered there are Dunkin Donuts in Russia and also found some time to talk Syria with Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov.
After what amounted to a staring contest over the fate of Bashar al-Assad, Kerry blinked as expected, and the US is now willing to concede that the Syrian President may remain in power indefinitely.
