As voracious readers with a unique insight into the rise and fall of the empires, America's founders were well aware of the nature's rule of law and the significance of working within it to survive the test of time.  Most important of all, they did a far better job of it than we do now with all of our sophisticated technology!  Alas, there are ample reasons to believe that America's Net progress has been negative as a result of abandoning the valuable insights of its founders. Please note that I underscore Net because it is a technological progress that increasingly departs from being Capitalism wih human face in service of humanity and the fulfillment its dream of prevailing good over evil. When Albert Einstein sad, “I do not know what weapons will be used in WWIII, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones”, he meant just that.

Thus we can conclude that while we ridicule the  the little suicide bombers all over the world, we, as a nation have been acting as a giant suicide bomber in a massive scale, worse yet we are conditioned to go into denial. An ancient Ethiopian-another graveyard of empires, is “Those who hide their wounds will never find a cure!” Perhaps America's departure from its ideals could be likened to the ever-widening and deepening of Grand Canyon. So wide and deep that its founders would spin in their graves if they could see this setback.

Had the successive generations of America understood, the American Ideals, this nation would be the undisputed world leader with the deepest and warmest place in their hearts and minds of its people so that America would not have to resort to the most futile wars. In other words I believe that the only way to change the world for better is cultivation of sense of responsibility in each one of the People who are its building blocks. We have failed to realize some simple principles such as the quality of the building blocks in order to withstand the test of time. This urge is imbedded in this ancient Chinese proverb, “If everyone sweeps their door-step the whole town would be clean” or the African saying that “It takes a village”or George Orwell's words, “It takes a lot of effort to see what is in front of your nose” or similar pieces of wisdom we have abandoned.

The so called “War on Terror” and similar futile quagmires and major internal problems that are bankrupting America and the world, are the cumulative and cancerous growth of residual colonial mentality whose roots can be traced to antiquity and whose objective is to rule the world and force their belief on it-that is counter to the original ideals of American Revolution.

America's setback has been the brainchild of America's own extremists who provoke and create such disasters and are not touched by the American Revolution, Bill of Rights, Constitution and the First Amendment, but pretend otherwise-run-away hypocrisy. Possessed by AIG-arrogant, ignorance and greed that is coincidentally the acronym for the infamous AIG. They are opportunists with no conviction other than making money by any means and could be members of any party. For more on this please google the word greening or greeding of America! To those who think I am naïve to think that we can eradicate hypocrisy, I say that my concern is that hypocrisy is increasingly becoming a norm rather than an exceptional attribute.

As a naturalized American citizen I feel fully confident that if not for the voices of dissent and the constant flow of immigrants with fresh ideas that have kept this Nation of Immigrants vibrant despite the constant attempts of its own extremists to make America a house divided against itself and wrongly antagonizing and blaming the world for its demise. As Erick Fromm said,  “The world is graveyard of empires that did not meet the challenge of their time.” My main concern is that we are not meeting that challenge. Therefor, I am determined to do all I can to protect this nation from decay and its net  negative impact on the stability of the world as we have known.

I have maintained this website for over ten years. At this time I am shrinking its content even more in the interest of brevity for the public that has increasingly lost interest in such vital issues as a result of being bombarded with misinformation rather than truth even during our Information Age.

My purpose is to demonstrate that America's downfall is the direct result of deterioration of the public education that leads to public awareness-the founders' prerequisite for understanding, appreciation and preservation of the government of the people as opposed to the  government of a few.  It is past the time to go back to square one, reevaluate our performance and rediscover the wisdom of saying “we reap what we sow”. We can only reverse our further downfall by launching what I call a War on Ignorance and find out that it is our fastest, cheapest and best guarantee of global peace and prosperity and Homeland Security than our own present brand of War on Terror. It is unbecoming of America to let its destructive power dominate its enormous constructive potential and deprive us of the dividend of technology for solving not only our own problems, but those of the world that is still looking up to us for real leadership. Millions of decent Americans are already doing this, but we need to energize millions more to neutralize the obstacles created by the extremists.

Has the abandoning the wisdom of the America's founders made us a nation with its head in the clouds without having its feet on the ground? Is this a responsible way of spending the money we do not have or borrow to kill and maim our own young people and then spend more money to cure the brand new physical and mental problems of the modern warfare for making artificial limbs for our surviving soldiers while we lack the money to take care of our deteriorating infrastructure? We will never win this war, but if we ever do, what are we going to export to these invaded lands? Will it be sound public education, participatory democracy, fiscal responsibility, balanced budget with what we no longer have, is the challenge of our time. As Thomas Jefferson said, “ An empire collapses more from within than from without.”We are self-destructing by not meeting the challenges of our time and by not addressing the roots of our enormous local, national and international crime that are evolving from conventional to cyber crimes with no end in sight. 

I try to relate my writing to people's common sense rather than cluttering their minds with numerous links and end up losing their attention. I trust that my readers are able to go to the  search engines, use the key words I use and make this a simple drill in participatory democracy. After all, how many people need links to the issues that require common sense such as the sunshine is warm or the earth is not flat?

This website will review the unfinished journey of America and the reasons behind its failure to be in charge of its own destiny, ironically by no one other than itself. It will be done in five sections, namely: Introduction, Roots of Terrorism, Defeat of Terrorism, Return of Terrorism and  Over-all Summary. Each page will also have its own summary.
