The race card
By Ryne Colt Radigan | - 10:00 am AKST - Posted in Politics

Barrack Obama made a speech last night concerning the role of racism in this country. (Read the story here) He was also commenting on the remarks of his long time pastor from Chicago. In which the criticized to US government for its dealings with the issue of race in the country. Obama made it very clear that he does not agree with the comments made by the pastor. In his mind comments like this only serve to separate to races in this country even more, and for what it is worth I agree with him on this point. Be it right or wrong when you speak on topics like this and flat out blame a certain sect for all the problems the sect will be offended and most of the time refuse to have any interaction with you, and further more sweep the issue “under the rug”. However when you come to “the table” with your opponent and you both have open minds on the subject the outcome is more likely to benefit both parties.

A justified cause?
By Ryne Colt Radigan | - 10:00 am AKST - Posted in History, Politics

In a story today from the Anchorage Daily News”Monumental concerns for WWII vets“. It seems that the Japanese erected a monument on Kiska Attu island the site of a fairly substantial WWII battle. Now there are many American WWII vets who are trying to remove this monument. I am afraid I disagree with there cause. The way this monement was created was to honor “all” the persons who fought and or died on the island. There is an inscription on the monument that reads “”In memory of all those who sacrificed their lives in the islands and
seas of the North Pacific during World War II and in dedication to
world peace.” However in another quote there are a group of vets who say “…to put that thing on hallowed ground is equivalent to al-Qaida putting
a monument on Ground Zero for the guys that hijacked the airliners.” I think that the Battle of Kiska Attu and the events of 9/11 are completely different. One was a battle that took place during a major war, and involving soldiers from both sides. The other was a preemptive and brutal attack on a unprepared population, and involved civilians. Ultimately the people who are protesting this monument are allowed to do so, and I must respect the unique position that they are in. However it has been over 60 years since the ending of WWII perhaps it is time to try and reconcile with the other side.

CORRECTION 9/19/07: The monument is on Attu not Kiska island. However both of these islands played a part in WWII.
