How many of you had expected a physical attack on America prior to 9-11 in 2001? SHARE
In 1964, Malcolm X used the term "chicken comes home to roost" to talk about the scandal many Americans saw with the assassination of JFK. After that time, many media watchers and historians have agreed to some degree with what Malcolm X suggested. Similarly, thousands or perhaps millions of Americans anticipated that there would be an attack on American soil in their lifetimes. This contrast with Big Media's 9-11 message

How many more Mai Lais have there already been for USA forces since March 1968? SHARE
Many Americans--especially formal soldiers are indicating that there have been Lai Lai-style massacres over the decades. ""Well, 504 civilians, noncombatants, were mowed down by soldiers. As you said, it was horrific, but it was not an isolated incident. It was part of the culture of the war that had been created and fostered and was largely a product of the Pentagon's insistence" --noted Ron Carver.

Is Obama responsible for Saudi War in Yemen? SHARE
Yemeni journalist Nasser Arrabyee claims, "The big criminal is Obama himself. This is how Yemenis see to the situation, because every Yemeni believe that Saudi Arabia would not have done that at all, would not have done a war in Yemen, without the approval of Obama. And it is very clear to everyone that Obama wanted to appease the Saudis after the Iranian nuclear deal."

Should Petraeus have been prosecuted under the Espionage Act? SHARE
With prosecutions of whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, Thomas Drake, John Kiriakou and several others, the Obama administration is by far the most aggressive in history when it comes to punishing leaks. However, recently, the Obama administration failed to aggressively prosecute David Petraeus, the retired four-star general and former head of the CIA. How does this sit with you?

Will the world ever see Israel signing a nuclear agreement, such as a non-proliferation agreement? There seems to be little hope of this in the media. What do OpEd readers believe?

Reinstating the Glass-Steagall SHARE
Robert Reich says, "It's important to get behind a plank of specific ideas, like resurrecting Glass-Steagall, like breaking up the big banks, like making sure that taxes are increased on the very wealthy and the earned income tax credit, which is basically a wage subsidy for the working poor, be expanded, and so on." Is reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act that important, America?

Have the police and law enforcement agencies in USA been given too much power? SHARE
In the Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr. case and the decade of attacks on immigrants and arrests or long-term detention of large numbers of Americans in the so-called War on Terror is shaking the country.
