Susan Scharfman's Articles in Politics

  • PowerHouse—Or Corrupt House of Power?
    Two weeks to Election Day 2006 and like the rising tide that lifts all boats, the rising mounds of excrement in political ads make me want to throw up. Sadly, what should be an exciting and productive time in our history has degenerated into the lowest common denominator for the American people. We are a generous, learned and sacrificing people who deserve better than politicians desperately trying to hang on to their corruptive power.
  • Iran, Syria, North Korea-Lessons in Diplomacy
    Diplomacy has always been our first line of defense, the only civilized way to resolve disputes between dissimilar ideologies. Refusal to sit down for talks with diplomats of sovereign nations is not diplomacy. Withdrawing diplomats from sovereign nations is not diplomacy. It is blind arrogance.
  • Of Mice & Men—Putting the "Men" Back in Statesmen
    The Israeli people complain about the weak leadership of their impotent elected officials and disorganized military. The pseudo-democratic government of Lebanon cannot govern its own country because its weak leaders exist at the discretion of Iran’s militant proxy, Hezbollah. Iraq’s weak democratically elected officials are helplessly drowning in the blood of an internal religious war that is anything but democratic. In defining the war in Iraq, an unconvincing American Administration, its diplomats and generals, continue to dance (weakly) around the same two words, civil and war. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of civil war is: “A war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country.” Shall we dance?
  • What The Power Elite Do Not Want You To Know--The Power of Working Class America
    Here we are in the early part of the 21st century, and America the Beautiful is now America of, for and by the corporate elite. The corporate elite controls the government and the military. Ever hear of Lockheed Martin and Boing? Halliburton and Bechtel? They make more money during wartime than in peace. The corporate elite owns and controls the media. It is no longer CBS, NBC and ABC.
  • Arabs and Jews - A Ludicrous Answer to a Ridiculous Question
    The question? How do warring parties with similar ethnic backgrounds, but diametrically opposed ideologies, stop hating and slaughtering each other? The cynical words of the American expatriate writer who lived in Paris in the early part of the 20th century continue to resonate: "There ain't no answer. There ain't gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer." - Gertrude Stein 1936
  • Vox Pop - A Voice or a Whimper
    For a long period of time I had a nagging feeling I’d lost something very dear to me. I’d wake up in the morning thinking I’d dreamed it. But the feeling haunted me throughout the day, day after day. After a lot of thinking out loud I came to the conclusion that that sense of loss was my own personal freedoms.
