CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- At my house, we lost a lot of trees during the late-June/early-July storms. (Not to mention the roof, the ceiling in one room due to water damage, and lots of sleep ... but our story isn't any different from that of anyone else who lived through those 100-degree days without power!)
A couple of the trees that fell were 20-plus-year-old conifers, so I've been researching what trees I'll plant in their places. I'll have to find these trees locally, as it would be cost-prohibitive to have them shipped here. I plan to talk to my local garden centers to see if they can help me get the trees I want to plant.
A blue Douglas fir that's fast-growing and conical with thick, grooved, corky, gray-brown bark and aromatic blue-green leaves might replace the spruce tree that fell.
Our river birch, planted in the mid-1990s, was just beautiful. The storm took out one of the main trunks and left the rest scraggly. I've been looking at a white-barked Himalayan birch as a replacement. If I can find one with a single trunk, it will be a sturdier tree, yet it has the open-branched look and the bright white bark similar to the river birch. It grows tall -- 50 feet -- so it might be too big for our site.
The paperbark maple is a deciduous, spreading tree with striking peeling, orange-brown bark; the leaves turn red and orange in autumn. It can be found as a single-trunk tree that might fit the spot. Its estimated height is under 30 feet.
When to replant
Janie Carpenter, a landscape designer and certified horticulturalist for Creation Gardens (affiliated with G and G Nursery) in Lesage said the best time to replant is fall, but if you're impatient, you'll just have to do more work.
"We plant every day -- but you have to water a lot. The best time, of course, is fall," Carpenter said.
She said smaller trees that were damaged are more likely to survive the ravages of the storms.
"Anything over 50 percent damage probably can't be saved, but a smaller or newer tree can bounce back by themselves as long as the bark isn't busted up on the main trunk.
"Trees are kinda like us -- they get a cut or something and they heal back quickly," Carpenter said.
Topping the trees is not the answer.
"That's a big no-no -- it makes it very weak, susceptible to diseases. The tree won't have enough leaves on it to support the root system."

When the iPad mini has a retina screen, I will reluctantly give up my iPad if the full size is discontinued. I don't think this will happen however as aside from the better resolution, I prefer looking at the larger screen and imagine many others do as well. There is probably more interest in the mini now because it is new and more affordable and the iPad 4 wasn't (in my opinion) a significant upgrade.

Pretty much the same here, love the form factor and weight but due to resolution in place makes it hard to use in portrait mode. If it has retina I would've kept the mini for sure.
Never had an issue with the iPad 3's weight or size, no urge to ditch it for the iPad 4. Don't feel the bezel is in desperate need of shrinkage like what Apple did with the mini, though I won't be suprised to see it happen down the road. |

The iphone 5 costs twice as much as well off contract. Like another said earlier, the ipad mini was made cheaply to sell to the masses.

If the ipad mini had a retina with atleast an A6 then I wouldve gotten the mini.... even if it was the same price as the Ipad 3 that i got for $549
Plus i prefer the larger screen so i can function apps better. |

This is very true. For the price, the mini is pretty good, but no retina OR A6 is disheartening.

everyone that chose a 4 over a mini is on here trying to justify their decision. This helps them cope with their decision. They want the mini, but can't live with the fact that the tech is not cutting edge.
Well the design IS and thats all I needed, I don't notice the retina anymore on my mini, but I do notice the design evertime I pick it up. As im sure you notice the design and weight of your 4 everytime you pick up your fatpad. im sure you say in the back of your mind "if only the mini was retina, I would LOVE to have one of those" haha Sad. I bought the mini with a $50 discount, i'll use it, when the mini retina comes out, i'll sell the mini and get that. Probably won't lose any money and get the full enjoyment of both. |

iPad mini is less than half the weight, which is a big deal because people complain about how HEAVY the iPad 3/4 is compared to the iPad 2. Half the weight is a big deal, portability is a big deal. Just because you don't see/want/need the benefits of a more portable form factor doesn't mean a thing. Many people want it. |

The mini and the 4 are both outstanding products. What could you possibly know about 'everyone'? I recently chose the 4 over my mini. It just fit my hands a little better, and owning both at once didn't match my frugal-ish mindset. Nothing more. No justifications. No other complaints or comparisons. Both units rocked IMO. The whining & infighting is epic... |

I purchased the Black 64GB Mini and the Black 64GB iPad 4 with Retina display.
After playing with both for a couple of days the mini went back for a full refund. I do love the mini but I'll just wait a few more months and purchase it again when it has the retina display and faster processor. |

The elephant in the room is that if the mini were retina, almost everyone would buy the mini. I suspect this fact was not lost on Apple markertng savants. To me, the high retail price was a statement about how confident they are in the appeal of the mini.
---------- Nothing wasteful about that. I mean if apple's restocking policy allows this kind of consumer behavior, you really can't blame the consumer for being a total a-ho |

I like both units and find all complaints about screen or weight as adolescent. Doesnt mean any or either lack merit, but thats sure how they read. The ipad should evolve, and we should welcome any expansion of the platform IMO. A 15" retina Pro iPad with USB and 'Finder" would sit well with me. A mini with whatever display would also be pretty cool mountainside at 10k'. I hope they make 10 models someday, instead of just 2. More is better. |

Join Us for the 17th Annual KPLU Christmas Jam Holiday Concert and Live Broadcast
The 17th Annual KPLU Christmas Jam, 88.5 KPLU's much-anticipated FREE holiday concert, features jazz vocalist Cheryl Jewell and her trio--Thursday, December 5, 2013 from noon to 1 p.m. at Lagerquist Hall in the Mary Baker Russell Music Center on the Pacific Lutheran University campus. Cheryl will perform Christmas selections with the University Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Dr. David Deacon-Joyner. The event will be hosted by KPLU's Nick Morrison and broadcast live on KPLU. A live video stream will also be available at www.kplu.org.
An elegant performer and exceptional vocalist, Cheryl is a rare gem in the Pacific Northwest scene. Described as an "extraordinary singer, possessing precision and substantial—even impressive—range" she moves with seamless grace from swinging big band and jazz standards to soulful ballads. Her style reflects the passion of Dinah Washington, the finesse of Nancy Wilson and the blue-eyed soul of Eva Cassidy, as she captivates audiences with her pure, rich tone and stirring interpretations.
Jewell's version of "The Christmas Song" (which was recently released as a single) will be performed live on the KPLU broadcast featuring guitarist Milo Petersen on seven-string guitar, whose sparse yet sophisticated accompaniment elegantly counter-points Jewell's intimate vocal invitation.
Her 2012 freshman jazz release, My Blue Heaven, has been played nationally on over 250 jazz stations placing Cheryl on the top shelf of West Coast jazz singers. On this release, she embraced some of the most loved standards of the twentieth century including "Cry Me a River" and "Get Happy," all framed by a retro-tinged interpretation of "My Blue Heaven." Rounding out the album are "Wayfaring Stranger" and "People Get Ready," reminding the listener of the thread that flows between folk, spirituals, the blues and jazz.
With her fresh, hip and passionate style, she has charmed area audiences with her own trio, the Jewell Jazz Ensemble, and in other Puget Sound acts, including Mark Kelly's Saltwater Octet and Paul Sorensen's 17-piece Northern Lights Jazz Orchestra.
Ms. Jewell's trio for the KPLU Christmas Jam includes pianist Darin Clendenin, guitarist and drummer Milo Petersen, and bassist Chuck Kistler. More information on Cheryl Jewell is available at www.cheryljewell.com.
The University Jazz Ensemble is a jazz big band, varying in instrumentation according to repertoire. The ensemble performs regularly on the PLU campus, at jazz venues in the Puget Sound area, regional high schools, and national jazz festivals. The ensemble performs jazz big band repertoire from all eras of the music, from Duke Ellington to Maria Schneider, and covers all styles of jazz from early swing to jazz/rock.
House doors open at 11:15 a.m. Early arrival is strongly suggested due to festival seating. Parking for the event is limited as classes are in session.
A PRINTABLE PLU CAMPUS MAP IS AVAILABLE HERE. The Mary Baker Russell Music Center is located at 8th Avenue Ct. S. and Wheeler Street S.

Intensive control works
Diabetes and you
Susan Sorensen
Diabetes. The word has only eight letters but it can turn your world upside down in an instant. Since November is National Diabetes Month, let's discuss the importance of maintaining your blood glucose in a healthy range and how that can be achieved with minor alterations to your daily life.
It is important to first accept the fact that diabetes is a medical condition that is in your control. Unlike medical conditions that require surgical intervention, diabetes puts you in the driver seat to control what you eat (glucose in) and what you do for activity (glucose out). Chronic elevation of blood glucose levels can result in damage to your eyes, peripheral nerves, kidneys and heart but none of that has to occur!
With the discovery of insulin in the late 1920s and numerous oral medications that have been developed, someone who has diabetes can live a long and healthy life. In fact, some people who have diabetes find that they are healthier than before their diabetes diagnosis because they are taking better care of themselves with daily exercise and nutritious food.
Let's discuss the groundbreaking study that clarified the benefits of controlled glucose levels.
From 1983-1993, researchers with the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial followed 1,441 people with Type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent). Half of the test group was treated with glucose testing and insulin injections twice a day. The second half was treated more intensively with glucose testing and insulin injections at least four times a day to keep their blood glucose levels lower than the participants in the first group. As the study progressed, it revealed that the intensive control group had a 76-percent decreased incidence of retinopathy (eye disease), a 50-percent decreased incidence of nephropathy (kidney disease) and 66-percent decreased risk of neuropathy (nerve disease).
The dramatic difference between the two groups was so significant that the study was stopped early so that all participants could become part of the intensive control group.
So you may wonder: How does this study apply to me? Although the DCCT studied only people with Type 1 diabetes, the positive outcome of good diabetes control can be applied to those individuals with Type 2 diabetes. When you get back to practicing the basic concepts that improve your health, you can achieve good glucose control. Maintain a healthy weight, consume a heart-healthy diet, control your blood pressure and exercise to stay alive.
If you are overweight, a loss of 10 percent of your body weight will have a dramatic impact on the efficiency of the insulin that your body is producing. Try to concentrate on whole grains, lean meats, fruits and vegetables with low-fat dairy to ensure adequate nutrition and fiber. Limit your salt intake by removing the salt shaker from the table and consuming fewer prepackaged foods. Find an activity that will provide you with a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day and continue it throughout your life.
Look at each of these suggestions to decide what you can incorporate in your daily routine so that you can improve control of your diabetes and proudly celebrate National Diabetes Month.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The phrase dog days refers to the sultry days of summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, the dog days of summer are most commonly experienced in the months of July and August, which typically observe the warmest summer temperatures. In the Southern Hemisphere, they typically occur in January and February, in the midst of the austral summer.
The Romans referred to the dog days as diēs caniculārēs and associated the hot weather with the star Sirius. They considered Sirius to be the "Dog Star" because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). Sirius is also the brightest star in the night sky. The term "Dog Days" was used earlier by the Greeks (see, e.g., Aristotle's Physics, 199a2).
The Dog Days originally were the days when Sirius rose just before or at the same time as sunrise (heliacal rising), which is no longer true, owing to precession of the equinoxes. The Romans sacrificed a red dog in April to appease the rage of Sirius, believing that the star was the cause of the hot, sultry weather.
Dog Days were popularly believed to be an evil time "the Sea boiled, the Wine turned sour, Dogs grew mad, and all other creatures became languid; causing to man, among other diseases, burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies." according to Brady's Clavis Calendaria, 1813.[1]
In Ancient Rome, the Dog Days ran from July 24th through August 24th, or, alternatively, from July 23 through August 23rd. In many European cultures (German, French, Italian) this period is still said to be the time of the Dog Days.
The Old Farmer's Almanac lists the traditional period of the Dog Days as the 40 days beginning July 3rd and ending August 11th, coinciding with the ancient heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. These are the days of the year with the least rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere.
According to the 1552 edition of the The Book of Common Prayer, the "Dog Daies" begin July 6th and end August 17th. But this edition, the 2nd book of Edward VI, was never used extensively nor adopted by the Convocation of the Church of England. The lectionary of 1559 edition of the Book of Common Prayer indicates: "Naonae. Dog days begin" with the readings for July 7th and end August 18th. But this is noted as a misprint[2] and the readings for September 5th indicate: "Naonae. Dog days end". This corresponds very closely to the lectionary of the 1611 edition of the King James Bible (also called the Authorized version of the Bible) which indicates the Dog Days beginning on July 6th and ending on September 5th. A recent reprint of the 1662 edition of the Book of Common Prayer contains no reference to the Dog Days.
Please note: Due to introduction of the modern Gregorian Calendar, 10 days must be added to each of the 16th and 17th Century dates referenced above for them to correlate correctly with modern-day dates as concerns astronomical observations and climate. First adopted by Southern European Catholic countries in the 16th Century, the Gregorian Calendar was not used in England or its New World colonies until 1752. This modern calendar accurately calculates the astronomical length of one year (the exact time it takes the earth to orbit the sun) to be 365.2425 days. This corrected the approximated 365 and 1/4 day year length of the previously used Julian Calendar introduced in 46 B.C. Because the length of each Julian Calendar year was 11 minutes 48 seconds too long, over the centuries, seasonal changes gradually occurred on earlier and earlier dates. The Gregorian Calendar uses a formula to reduce from 100 to 97 the number of leap years (extra days) in a 400-year period thus cutting the average calculated length of a year to its actual duration. By 1752 when the Gregorian Calendar was adopted by England, the Julian Calendar had fallen behind by 11 days total since 46 B.C. Upon implementation of the Gregorian Calendar, those days were added back by jumping overnight from September 2nd to September 14th, 1752, thus catching the calendar up with the seasons.
The Book of Common Prayer would have provided the official liturgical calendar for Jamestown, Virginia, from 1607 so it may be assumed that the Dog Days likely have been known in the New World at least since that time.
Kane & Lynch: Dog Days Is a video game that references this phrase.
For the ancient Egyptians, Sirius appeared just before the season of the Nile's flooding, so they used the star as a "watchdog" for that event. Since its rising also coincided with a time of extreme heat, the connection with hot, sultry weather was made for all time: "Dog Days bright and clear / indicate a happy year. / But when accompanied by rain, / for better times our hopes are vain."
In John Webster's 1623 play The Duchess of Malfi, the malcontent Bosola states "blackbirds fatten best in hard weather: why not I in these dog days?"
The phrase is mentioned in the short story "The Bar Sinister" by Richard Harding Davis. The main character, who is a street dog, explains "but when the hot days come, I think they might remember that those are the dog days, and leave a little water outside in a trough, like they do for the horses."
The Prologue of Tuck Everlasting, set in the first week of August, says: "These are strange and breathless days, the dog days, when people are led to do things they are sure to be sorry for after."
In recent years, the phrase "Dog Days" or "Dog Days of Summer" have also found new meanings. The term has frequently been used in reference to the American stock market(s). Typically, summer is a very slow time for the stock market, and additionally, poorly performing stocks with little future potential are frequently known as "dogs."[citation needed]
A casual survey will usually find that many people believe the phrase is in reference to the conspicuous laziness of domesticated dogs (who are in danger of overheating with too much exercise) during the hottest days of the summer. When speaking of "Dog Days" there seems to be a connotation of lying or "dogging" around, or being "dog tired" on these hot and humid days. A similar myth asserts that the time is so-named because rabid dogs are supposed to be the most common then. Although these meanings have nothing to do with the original source of the phrase, they may have been attached to the phrase in recent years due to common usage or misunderstanding of the origin of the phrase.
The feast day of Saint Roch, the patron saint of dogs, is August 16.
Icelanders refer to the Danish adventurer Jørgen Jürgensen as Jörundur hundadagakonungur ("Jørgen the dog-days King" in Icelandic) since he proclaimed himself lord protector for some months of 1809.
And there is this mention of "dogdays" in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol:
Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone, Scrooge! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dogdays; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas.
Poet J. M. Synge also wrote, "Seven dog-days we let pass, naming Queens in Glenmacnass", in the poem "Queens".
The phrase is used as the title of a sonnet by Australian poet, Howard Firkin.[3]
The 1975 Sidney Lumet film Dog Day Afternoon takes its name from the phrase, as does the 2012 film "Diary of a Wimpy Kid : Dog Days", about the activities of a teenage boy during his summer school holidays.
In the Batman: Arkham City videogame, the serial killer Calendar Man tells stories to Batman about murders he has committed on a major holiday for each month. For the month of August, he chose the Feast Day of St. Roch (which he admitted to be an obscure holiday) as the basis for a dog-related murder, the best way to "celebrate the dog days of summer."
More recently, the term was used in the song "Dog Days Are Over", the second single released by the British band Florence and the Machine.
The term was used as the title of the 2001 Austrian film Hundstage (Dog Days), as it takes place during a hot summer weekend.

ASHEVILLE — Testing has revealed pesticide contamination in soil and groundwater at the site of a former golf course maintenance shop at Grove Park Inn.
The N.C. Division of Waste Management has proposed entering into a voluntary agreement with the resort for a cleanup of the property, according to agency documents.
The contamination was discovered during an environmental assessment conducted when the resort was sold by Sammons Enterprises to KSL Capital Partners in April, said Cathy Akroyd, spokeswoman for the division.

As storytellers, we've learned that a tale cannot possibly survive alone; it first requires an audience.
Once interest has faded, however, even those most enduring of lessons beg for a considerate caretaker, one to preserve the truth and carry it forward until the task falls upon another.
A trip to London with his dad was a quick reminder of that duty for Keith Brind of Gibsons, whose father Ken served in the storied Royal Air Force Bomber Command.
"They all wanted to tell their stories to each other, and to anyone else who wanted to listen," said Keith of the former air crews he met that day.
Keith accompanied his father throughout the journey, a story he said he'd never forget.
He also knew that someday his father's stories would fall to him and other members of the family. From there, their destiny could be uncertain.
He considered joining the Legion, where membership numbers dwindled alongside those of the remaining vets. Perhaps it would offer him a chance to hold remembrance ceremonies at the schools again. Keith also explored a bit of amateur movie making as a way of giving his father's memories more permanence.
But one thing has remained very clear for him.
"We need to keep their stories alive … the sons and daughters," he said. "It has to be shared."
A memorial came almost 68 years after Keith's father finished his tour. For too many reasons, he was lucky to see it.
Politically, the act of remembering runs the risk of being confused for a gesture of support.
The unveiling of memorials and the photo-ops they provide can easily muddle the underlying reason of why we build them in the first place — "thanking those who stood up for our freedom."
"These people, they volunteered," Keith said. "They didn't have to fly, the airmen that my dad was with for a year or so. I'm not sure what he was before, a clerk in an office?"
A clerk who strapped himself to a table inside a metal tube, reading a map inside an airborne target the lust of all matter of explosives, bullets, planes and flak shells attacking from every direction. A 21-year-old trying to finish the job and make it home for breakfast.
In 1944, this was the task asked of him. He did it without question.
But when it came to creating a memorial to Bomber Command, the questions were all we had. Was it necessary? Could there have been a better way? Did so many have to die?
"Each one was an individual and each one had a job to do," veteran navigator Ken Brind said. For him it was that simple, even knowing the cost, the risk.
A memory will affect a society much like it does a person. To ignore those pieces of our past that weigh heavily upon our conscious is to leave mistakes unacknowledged, lessons unlearned.
And that is the greater failure.

A vision in whiteJun 29 2011 A vision in white Although you may be weary that a home with white floors, white walls and even some white furniture would far too closely resemble an institution, this design is actually quiet the contrary. One way to go about creating a mostly white sanctuary is to utilize your accessories and furniture as the life of the home. This apartment boasted brick walls strewn throughout, which gave the look a pop of dimension against the walls. Use of flowers, colorful pillows and airy window treatments, will be the key to keeping the space bright. You may not feel completely comfortable with the all white, so consider giving it a try in one room at first to see how it feels. A bathroom may be a great place to implement the look as you can add life through lovely colored soaps and roman shades or fabric roller shades in a pattern that will help create warmth in your all white design. If you're willing to try this style out, do it fast - and before you have kids! Related Products

Agency Management Challenges
In accordance with the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000, the OIG each year identifies the most serious management and performance challenges facing the Agency for inclusion in SBA's Performance and Accountability Report. The Management Challenges represent areas that the OIG considers to be particularly vulnerable to fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement, or which otherwise pose significant risk to the Agency, its operations, or its credibility. Each Management Challenge generally has originated from one or more OIG or Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. For each Management Challenge, the OIG provides the Agency with recommended remedial actions together with an assessment of Agency progress on each recommended action during the preceding fiscal year.
FY 2009 Report on SBA's Top Management Challenges
The Management Challenges identified in the OIG's FY 2009 report, issued on October 20, 2008, were as follows.
- Procurement flaws allow large firms to obtain small business awards and agencies to count contracts performed by large firms towards their small business goals.
- Information systems security needs improvement.
- Effective human capital strategies are needed to enable SBA to successfully carry out its mission and become a high-performing organization.
- SBA's National Guaranty Purchase Center needs better controls over the business loan purchase process.
- SBA needs to further strengthen its oversight of lending participants.
- The Section 8(a) Business Development (BD) program needs enhanced business development processes, objectively defined eligibility standards, upgraded training and information systems, improved graduation procedures, and better oversight of contractor compliance with program regulations.
- Insufficient and outdated SBA controls continue the excessive risk of the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program.
- Effective tracking and enforcement would reduce financial losses from loan agent fraud.
As in prior years, the FY 2009 report used a color-scoring scheme to show the Agency's progress in addressing the actions needed to resolve each Management Challenge. The chart on the next page provides a summary of SBA's progress for each of the eight Management Challenges in the FY 2009 report. While progress on a number of the challenges has been encouraging, much more remains to be done. By their nature, these challenges require continued long-term commitment and effort by the Agency.

Foreign Policy and the Problem of the "Western Saviour Complex"
Foreign policy and the problem of the 'Western Saviour Complex'
By Jesse Zimmerman; June 26, 2012 - rabble.ca
"Take up the White Man's burden -
Have done with childish days -
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!"
-Rudyard Kipling, The White Man's Burden, 1899
The strange case of the Kony 2012 phenomenon is a chance to reflect on the complex relationship between those of us in the so-called First World and those of us in the so-called Third World.
The organization Invisible Children got massive attention for this latest campaign and their intentions may have appeared to many observers as completely benign and admirable at first glance. They were creating global awareness of the atrocities committed by a brutal warlord in eastern Africa and stating that they wanted to see Joseph Kony face justice. It all seemed noble, but on closer inspection and in light of how things turned out, people started questioning the real motives beyond it. One of the results of the campaign was an announcement by the Obama Administration to keep American military advisers in Uganda.
The bizarre naked meltdown of Kony 2012's main organizer, Jason Russell, in the street in San Diego raised some eyebrows but the most telling incident involving Kony 2012 was when the now famous video was played before an audience in Lira, a town in Uganda where Kony committed some of his worst atrocities. The audience was made up of the very people the Kony 2012 campaign purported to be trying to help yet by the end of the showing the audience became frustrated and lashed out at the members of the organizations, even pelting rocks at them and demanding they leave.
Language and imperialism
What exactly went wrong? Some of the campaign's critics cite the fact that Joseph Kony is not even present in Uganda anymore and that sending military advisors to Uganada is a completely useless move. A major critique levelled at Kony 2012 by many is the lack of context and the presence of patronizing language. This campaign, many argued, was a new manifestation of the Western Saviour Complex.
What exactly is the Western Saviour Complex? If I had to come up with a definition for an encyclopedia for it the line would go something like this: the Western Saviour Complex is a deeply embedded notion that any problem in any part of the world can, or even must be solved by Western countries. Historical examples include Columbus bringing Christianity to the "Indians" and America bringing "democracy" to Iraq.
Every colonial project during Europe's period of colonialism seemed to be justified by some language or another. There were people who spoke out against colonialism in Europe and in the Americas, but ever present was the argument that it was ultimately in the subjected people's own interest to be governed by outsiders.
Even among liberals one can sometimes sense the language of a perceived natural order involving the Western states playing a role not unlike that of a traditional patriarch. Nowadays these are the voices that claim to be progressive yet they may support international policies that are not so enlightened in the long-run.
In some such opinions Canada's military presence in Afghanistan is seen as beneficial, or that the ouster of a democratically elected leader in Haiti was necessary for the sake of Haiti's progress. Others may come from organizations that seem well-meaning at first glance but often carry with them a mentality that view their own selves and their actions as the only solution to people's complicated problems thousands of miles away. This mentality, whether raw and blatantly obvious or more subtle, is the long-term product of an ideological phenomenon that has its roots in the colonial period of Western Europe.
Let's start this examination with the role of governments in the international arena. Our first question is: what really guides the actions of most nation-states? The realm of international politics is one where strategy is the most important factor. When nations take actions, whether political, financial or military, they always do so with their strategic interests in mind.
Countries with large economies, and often strong military power to back it up, naturally have the most clout on the global scale. When nation-states like the United States, our struggling global superpower, or rising giants like Russia and China, take actions it is fair to say that the concerns of the respective powers that be in those states are what drive their respective international policies.
In most mainstream media representations, our reasons for moving on that international chessboard are motivated not by the quest for resources or hegemonic influence like other states, but are driven by a desire to do good in the world. This is a Manichean world-view, which is an outlook on the real world as a singular battle of good vs. evil with absolutely nothing in between.
Case study: Iraq
Speaking of a dangerously morally simplistic world-view, let's discuss a bit on George W. Bush and his legacy. When President Bush II invaded Iraq he cited three major reasons that we are all too familiar with now. The first was to prevent Saddam Hussein, Iraq's then president, from making 'Weapons of Mass Destruction.' That was false.
The second was because the secular Arab nationalist regime of Saddam Hussein was apparently best buddies with Osama bin Laden's fanatical Wahhabi group Al Qaeda. This one also turned out to be false although it should have been obvious for any one who actually takes time to read up on the very complicated realities of the Middle East.
Finally, the last reason, and the one that Bush and company stuck to until the end, was that the reason for the invasion was for the sake of liberation for the Iraqi people. This line was given to the public repeatedly by the war's supporters, including the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, who insisted even after the initial reasons were proven false that removing Saddam Hussein was "the right thing to do."
It was simply accepted by so many that the war was necessary and was, overall, done in the Iraqi people's best interest. Liberation from a ruthless dictator, they argued, could only come through war. The Iraqi people could not overcome the tyrant on their own. These arguments seems somewhat strange now in the era of the Arab Spring, when people in the region have successfully (in some cases) removed their dictators themselves.
Can anybody still really believe these arguments for the Iraq War? Do the few supporters left of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States and coalition allies honestly believe that the motivations behind the invasion were based on compassion?
For a clearer answer we have to look past the rhetoric and focus instead on actual actions and results. Look at, for instance, the actions of the United States during the 1991 Gulf War, the first time the United States attacked Iraq. The first President Bush showed an apparent sign of solidarity with Iraq's people on February 15, 1991, when he told them to "take matters into their own hands and force Saddam Hussein, the dictator, to step aside and then comply with the United Nations' resolutions and rejoin the family of peace-loving nations."
After the ceasefire declared on February 24, 1991, and the Iraq government's brutal repression of the uprising resulting in thousands of Iraqi deaths, President Bush stated on April 2 that he had not "not misled anybody about the intentions of the United States of America." He went on to say "I don't think the Shias in the south, those who are unhappy with Saddam Hussein in Baghdad or the Kurds in the north, ever felt that the United States would come to their assistance to overthrow this man. (...) I made clear from the very beginning that it was not an objective of the coalition or the United States to overthrow Saddam Hussein."
It is especially telling when it is revealed that the initial line of supposed solidarity that went out was really to keep Saddam's army occupied in Iraq so the United States would run into less opposition from Iraqi troops in Kuwait. The Iraqi people who opposed the government were thus used for strategic purposes and the slaughter was immense in both Iraq's predominantly Shia South and Kurdish North.
The words are nothing but superficial statements made to justify every action taken by the powerful to convince people that they are always on the side of right in the great simplistic battle of right and wrong.
Actions and actual results speak louder than words ever can. For Iraq, in both 1991 and 2003, the actions belied the words of the western saviours.
Later this week, Part II of this article will examine the words, actions and results of Canada and other western countries' interventions in Afghanistan and Libya.

Most of the other old men I talk to about life discuss defining days that separated their lives into a before and after. My life does not have any such days, no single event changed the way I lived my life. This life of mine is one unbroken field, different crops have been planted and reaped, but the ground has remained the same. There is one day though that scars that field like a stump or stone that cannot be plowed under. I have spent many seasons pondering that day, but have never found a comfortable place for it.

A Course in Miracles
, Lesson 239
Oprah.com | August 25, 2008
Remembering that we are one with God, we begin to recognize the glory that lies within us. It is not arrogant but humble to realize the perfect love in which we were created and shall always remain.
The glory of my Father is my own.
Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?
We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves.
Quote of the Day
"Our defenses reflect our wounds. But no person can heal those wounds. They can give us love, innocently and sincerely, but if we're already convinced that people can't be trusted—if that's the decision we've already made—then our mind will construe whatever someone's behavior is, as evidence that our previously drawn conclusion was correct."
