Are you alive, or dead?

Life and death are intrinsically linked; as one life enters this realm one will surely exit it. As my friend Jay Lugar was fond of saying: "no one gets out of here alive..."

On June 8 1967, one of many lives was birthed here in Washington DC; simultaneously in DC, American leaders where sanctioning the deaths of 34 navy men who were killed during the Israeli attack upon the USS Liberty which was patrolling international waters 12.5 nautical miles from the coast of the Sinai peninsula.

Because of the personal significance of June 8 1967, I will never forget the events of that historic day. I hope you do not either and if we continue to push the "leadership" of this country, we will not let the lives of those who died that day to be lost without justice.
