If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then surely it's time for a serious examination of the costs and benefits of U.S. government efforts to build a more robust military relationship with China. Since establishing military ties almost 30 years ago, successive U.S. administrations have utterly failed in the many attempts to fashion a U.S.-China bilateral military relationship that advances Washington's goals. Quite to the contrary, in fact, U.S.-China military ties have served primarily to strengthen the People's Liberation Army (PLA) inadvertently as it seeks to become a more professional and more capable force. To arrest this trend, serious restructuring of bilateral military ties is required.

HISTORICALLY, well-meaning religious, political and community leaders have organized rallies to express community outrage over outbreaks of violence in New Haven. The recent wave of violence has led to the same. These rallies have emphasized calls for more jobs, more youth activities and intervention by the state police to help patrol New Haven.

President Barack Obama and the Democrats always asserted that Afghanistan was the "good war"-the one thing George W. Bush did right before he "took his eye off the ball" by invading Iraq. Not me. I realized that the invasion and subsequent occupation were doomed from the start. My Paul-on-the-road-to-Damascus moment came while watching Afghan villagers sobbing outside a house being searched by U.S. troops. "The Russians never violated our homes," an old man told me. As in many societies descended from nomads, Afghan culture dictates that a man's home is truly his castle. "Even when they came to kill you, the Taliban knocked on the door and waited for you [to] come out. They didn't touch your wife or daughter. They never came inside. Never.

Someone once said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Might've been Ben Franklin. Might've been Einstein. But it definitely wasn't Bad Little Buster's momma. Little Buster has apparently been relieving himself in all the wrong places for well over a year. And just what has his "momma" done about it?

McGuire will bring fiscal responsibility A good friend jokes that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We must be insane in Jefferson Twp. We elect the same trustees over and over and expect, somehow, the future will be different.
