Why Must Jewish Women Wear So Much Black and Gray?
Latest update: November 27th, 2013
We have contact with many non-Jews. They consistently say "Yes, we know that you have a black dress code". That's what we are putting out there. What does this say about representing Hashem is this world? What message do we want to put out to the world? Is it a message that one should always look like they are either on the way to, or on the way back from a funeral? Or maybe we want to put out a nicer message? Is the way we are dressing putting out to the world the much needed message of joy and happiness?
So assuming that you like colorful clothing, how does it affect you when you silence your inner voice and desire to wear colorful clothing? What messages are you giving yourself when you ignore your own voice? In what other areas of life does the silencing of your voice affect you? Really think about it and let yourself feel it. Once you feel it, begin by asking yourself "What would it be like to listen to my own voice and express myself accordingly?" Would I feel freer or have more self-respect? How would it affect my children or those around me? What would the ripple effects be?
Every single one of us have revealed and latent leadership qualities. It may be leading as parents, or having friends that count on us for advice and guidance. Certainly we are leaders of ourselves. That leadership needs to come out in this area just like it comes out in so many other areas.
You know inside what is tznius and what is not. You are allowed to listen to that voice. That's why Hashem gave it to you. The payoff for not listening to your own voice is not worth it in the long run. Even if for the time being, not listening to your own voice may have certain benefits like the feeling of belonging, in the long run it is not worth it.
In the long run, not honoring your own voice begins to erode who you are and what you have to offer in this world. That is the ultimate opposite of what Hashem wants from us. The underlying message that all women need to wear black is that we all need to be the same. It says that there is no room for diversity. I just can't imagine that that is what we want to show the world and that that is what Hashem wants us to be like.
So I make my plea to all the women and girls to please take a deep look into what drives you to dress a certain way. Please really analyze it. You are leaders and are very very strong and powerful. If something doesn't sit right, please consider addressing it. Things will be alright if you make some small changes. You will be followed if you do. Your children will find shidduchim and people will respect you.

Wonderful article from a woman who wears mostly all colors. Thank you!
that's why I won't wear like this
new change life!!
I agree that we all must wear nice colors as it was HaShem's that created the Rainbow with all the colors … so why use only two??
Didn't read the article yet, but I happen to be seeing more color lately. Hopefully the trend will be getting more colorful
what concerns me most is that i believe that most of the ladies wearing only black and grey are just doing it because everyone else is doing it. In other words there really is no philosophy to it whatsoever. The herd mentality is dangerous to our spiritual health. at least thats my opinion
It's really none of your business what they choose to wear.
I'm a metalhead and I like frikkin' black – and anyway, men shouldn't really be talking about other women's clothes :Pppp
I have been saying this for ages- Y the heck is there no color in frum womens clothing? I don't remember it being so black and white growing up. I think it is fairly recent- like the past 15 yrs. Fine you are a metal head, or goth whatev- it's your fashion statement…but why do so many other frum women choose to wear black?
Yochana Chava Sandler fine ok 100% but this stuff is for a woman to write about – not a dude….anyway many frum women around here dress like colorful hippies
around where? are you in Nachlaot? or Tzfat? I was in Brooklyn walking down the street with 3 friends (ok you might call them hippy-ish) and some frum girl came over to us and said- are you from Israel? we were like huh? why? she said bcs you are wearing colors! made me sad.
I am orthodox and while I wear a bit more black in the cold months I wear all the colors of the rainbow. If hashem created the rainbow and a world in color who are we to decide the world is black and white? (Pun intended)
Colorful hippie, yup that's me!
There was a Rav who said that the reason we have techeilet in tzitzit is that color provokes passions and feelings, and so we're supposed to feel passionate about mitzvot. I believe it's the same with tzniut. If you love black and gray and they reflect who you really are, then that's fine, but if you're just wearing those because it's the "uniform," then you are violating the spirit of tzniut. I love black, but I also love colors (I hate gray), and I love that I'm not wearing a "uniform."
They do it to dress modestly
"Every single person was created different with different tastes and personalities. Women were created with a sense for beauty and aesthetics. Men only get as far as feebly attempting to match a tie to their suit."
Wow. thanks for letting us know the "different personalties" of genders in a nice little nutshell of a generalization.
"You will be followed if you do. Your children will find shidduchim and people will respect you." Wow.
While I (obviosuly) agree with the point of this article, it's really something that this point even HAD to be made. This article has amused me. Thanks for that.
Is black supposed to be more modest than other colors? I thought it was about fit and amount of skin showing
Black is beautiful
It is said black is a color of humility ….being humble ….
supposedly attracts less attention than bright colors
I applaud this article. When I saw the title I figured, uh-oh, here we go again with another lecture and another preaching. It was just the opposite. Thank you, Bezlalel!!
My sister, Awlehaw V'Shalom, who was a saint, used to say that T'znius has very little to do with clothes and more about "that everything in my life in not everybody's business". That said, I think that men and women both encounter the same issue. Most men in the religious community dress in white shirts and black pants, black suits, black hats, etc. I wonder if we are doing a communal thing so as not to be ostracized. I do think though that a lot of people have been brought up in the frum community with guilt and shame surrounding clothing. And if someone is wearing clothes to hide themselves then something else is going on. I am not saying go be revealing. I am saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing colorful clothes that fit. Just do it for the right reasons and listen to that inner voice. It's a truth that no one else can tell you what's correct for you.
Josh Becker there are way too many things wrong with this article
Arnie, you're awesome. I'm missing Ester Nechama. I can almost picture what her reaction would be to this article and your words.
I think its all coordination. The men wear black and white only. Also everything matches black and white. But seriously the ultra frum do it to not draw attention but young women wear all different colors especially at chassunahs
imagine what could be accomplished in the world if just a fraction of the energy spent obsessing about what women wear was spent on something important
Once you go black you never go back…
I wear colors, but I respect that others don't. if its their choice to do so, why be devisive and cause it. your own voice begins to erode? Some women who are so modest, are very very creative in other ways. did you really need to write about something? Think of something else more useful.
Black is also the most slimming color, the most versatile color, the easiest color, etc. And it's the best backdrop for great jewelry. But if you're going to wear it, do it because you love it for any of the above reasons, not just because it's the "uniform."
Love it.
I am a former fashion coordinator for fashion shows and I have a lot to say about this. Women wear black because they think it makes them look thinner. That's really it. Of all colors, traditionally, black was viewed as a wealthy person's color. It took a lot of expensive dye to get clothing black and only the wealthy could afford it.
Black only absorbs light. It has no reflective qualities and does absolutely nothing for your complexion. It also has a very flat look in pictures and can actually make you look wider. Wearing a color, which complements your skin, at least next to your face, makes you look better. We all know which colors we feel and look better in. In fashion, wearing a flattering color is the difference between someone saying "You look great!" as opposed to "I love your outfit."
I love wearing black. And gray. But I also love various shades of blue, green, purple, darker pinks… I enjoy most colors. I have no use for International Orange, however.
Did you ever see Casablanca? Remember that scene in the shuk where she wears that stunning black and white ensemble with a hat? I liked it.
Not to be sexist, but I think the article was written by a man. I don't know about any other women, but when I look in the mirror, I don't think, "does this make a statement?" I think, " do I look decent? good, I gotta go, wait-is that a stain on my dress? Oh good I'm wearing black, nothing shows up on black."
Black does not truly make us look thinner. Black is cheap and easy alternative for designers to produce for the masses. Your wife Rivka Malka Perlman mentioned mentioned Carol Tuttle of Dressing Your Truth. She also mentioned that even though she never took the course that she us a Type 3 "Rich,dynamic,textured" I suggest everyone got to http://www.dressingyourtruth.com and find out more and look into the free assessment
Unfortunately the herd mentality that you speak of is extremely prevalent in the charedi community where the all black and dark colored wardrobe is being worn. So it is essentially a vicious cycle. The all black phenomenon is not something you see in the modern orthodox world. You see lots and lots of color.
Nice article, but I do take issue with one thing…. I take my appearance seriously as well. As do many of my male friends. We match shirts, ties, pants, shoes, etc. Just like woman women are told colors are bad, so too men in that society must wear a white shirt and black suit, along with a hat. I used to dress like that. I eventually got sick of the monotony. I like colors, I like trying different combinations, and so do many other guys I know
Why must Jewish men wear so much black and white?
I love wearing my Hawaiian shirts…so colorful and they don't have to be tucked in my pants.
I also asked a rebbiten, who is also a widow from a tzaddik, she told me that the black is all about mourning the destruction of the Beit Hamigdash. now, many years ago the Gadoley HaDor saw that the women wearing just black was a problem, men are visual and it is important to keep one's husband interested, and keep him from wandering, so they gave a p'sak that women should dress in colors. I am all for dressing in colors, and colors can be perfectly tznuah. thanks for the article.
I'm an artist, black makes me look sick and I almost never wear it. I own one black skirt. One time I was in downtown Chicago and a bunch of Bais yakov looking girls were all wearing black and NOT smiling while they were riding one of those four people bikes. They looked like they were coming or going to a funeral! And I think that's a chillul Hashem. We are supposed to be the LIGHT unto the nations. Maybe if it was still WW2 we could all wear black. But we should be past that. And if you have your colors done when people wear all black to make themselves look thinner it makes them look fatter.
right on sugarpie!
I wear colors
Colors r the new "in" here. Finally!!! Even in Lakewood, i heard.
I am totally with you, even though not an artist, but a lover of color!
LOVE colors. I always feel so self-conscious when I wear black and grey.
What do you say about all the OTD people?
check out Chabad
Short version: of article: Their individuality has been squashed.
Bottom line is that these women think that it is slimming. Nothing at all to do with being tzniusdik. Black is not a Jewish colour of mourning-we have no colours of mourning. This trend seems to have originated in the U.S. Hareidi women who originated in Israel wear colours.
Aliza Feinstein Of course it was black and white. Casablanca was a black and white film. That doesn't say anything about black and white clothing vs. color.
Is wearing a uniform different from wearing what's trendy?
Amazing all those who run after the fashion styles from Paris are showing their self expression, but when frum ladies all where the same styles they are squashing their self expression.
My daughter and I are out-of-towners . . I mean W-A-A-Y out-of-towners. When we went shopping in Brooklyn, we found the limited palette you describe: a little khaki, pink, and pastel blue for summer; everything else black, gray, and navy. Our yeshivishe brothers and sisters explained that it is immodest for women [or men] to call attention to themselves. Red calls the loudest, and is absolutely verboten. OK: when in Boro Park, we abide by Boro Park norms. But JEWISH CHIAROSCURO DOES SEEM TO BE A RECENT INNOVATION. Photos of the gedolei ha'dor of the 40s, 50s, and 60s show them in green suits, brown suits, blue suits; and patterned sweaters; and photos of mid-century testimonial dinners show women in purple, yellow, and rose. WHAT CHANGED? WHY?
Perhaps when your family has a history of persecution, you don't want to stand out like a sore thumb? Maybe you are humble and don't want to look like a loud, but colorful peacock? I'm not saying they shouldn't wear color, but it's their choice. In America, we have millions of peacocks. We even have pastors prancing around on stage in pastel suits and snake-skin shoes squawking like a peacock desperate to find a mate. Some people consider fashion an art, but it's a shallow art. There are better, more concise ways to express yourself without being a peacock. Not that a little color isn't alright. And besides, if I was living in Israel or any other place with a lot of sun, I'd avoid black. I'd probably wear a lot of khaki. I believe clothing serves more of a function than fashion though. Jewish people are humble, and seeing as how humility is a rare thing today in America, I welcome humility as a form of self-expression, and I wish more Americans, especially ones like Kanye West, would practice that form of self-expression. He could be draped in a rainbow flag and I wouldn't care…it's the loud squawking that comes from colorful people that bothers me.
Black is my favorite color! Maybe the 25 years in N Y made it happen!,,,,
I love colors. I feel like I'm thanking him when I chose which color/colors to wear each day. I don't think I offend tsniut, because the clothes I wear are always modestly cut, so I freely celebrate the beauty of the world G-d made by wearing colorful outfits and hats. Actually, the lower I feel, the brighter the outfit: it lifts my spirit and reminds me what a blessing it is that I finally get to live in Israel. BTW, no one, in my rather religious neighborhood has ever made me an unkind comment about the way I dress.
Its no more complicated than a tnius issue. Men wear these colors for the same reason and many communities arent so machmir in regards to color. However i must say i have never never found anyone lacking in beauty do to tnius dress. Quite the reverse, as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so if someone finds themselves judging others this way it is a reflection of themselves and a sign that their midos may need a make over rather than the subject of their vision.
*wear the same styles
Wearing black or grey does not make you more religious its what's in the heart that counts.
Glad you said that, Fern. This article is being circulated all over and long discussions are going on about it.

Putting a price on direct marketing
31 Jul 2012
Putting a price on direct marketing is the most comprehensive research to date into direct marketing industry's financial contribution to the UK's economy. The report puts a figure on the volume of sales direct marketing generates, assesses how much companies are spending on direct marketing, details the spread of expenditure across all direct media channels and counts the number of people that find their employment directly and indirectly through direct marketing.
The study highlights the major contribution that direct marketing made to the UK economy in 2011. The key findings can be summarised in four headline figures.
2011 expenditure on direct marketing totalled £14.2 billion; 7% growth expected in 2012
Total UK expenditure on direct marketing stood at £14.2 billion in 2011. Encouragingly, businesses using direct marketing estimate that their expenditure will increase by an additional 7% in 2012 – hugely important in an economy that is looking at modest overall growth at best. Such growth will be driven predominately by increased investment in direct digital channels.
23% of UK sales are generated by direct marketing
Companies polled for this study attributed almost a quarter (23%) of their overall turnover (sales) in 2011 to direct marketing. When these findings are extrapolated to represent all UK businesses, this would suggest that direct marketing accounted for £700 billion worth of sales out of a total of £3 trillion in 2011.
The direct marketing industry employs 530,000 people
In 2011, the number of people employed in direct marketing totalled 530,000, accounting for 1.8% of total UK employment. This comprises 375,000 workers directly employed and 155,000 indirectly employed, for example by Royal Mail and call centres. Moreover, findings presented here demonstrate that employment in direct marketing is likely to grow across all sectors in 2012.
The proposed EU Data Protection Regulation could lose the UK £47 billion in lost sales
According to the businesses polled for the study, the proposed EU legislation could cost UK each an average of £76,000. Crucially, if these results were representative of the UK economy as a whole, this would translate into a potential cost of £47 billion to UK businesses, concentrated amongst mainly SMEs.

Free (or Almost Free) City-Sponsored Fun
Recession Mama Michele Ashamalla: Shortly after we got married, my husband and I decided it would be fun to take a dance class. (I know: Now, I'm not sure how I got him to agree to it, but we were young ....) We didn't really want to invest in a studio class; we were just looking for a once-a-week diversion. Later that week, a community-services mailing came from the City; it contained a calendar of courses that were being offered. We found a ballroom dance class that was reasonably priced and really close to our house. We roped in another couple for the six-week commitment. The class was on Friday nights, and afterwards, we would go to a Mexican restaurant a couple of blocks away for dinner and margaritas.

Are these dolls divalicious...or totally inappropriate?
There's a new Barbie in town...and this one looks like she's a fan of whips and chains. Black Canary Barbie, due out in September, is based on a DC comic superhero of the same name. But some think this Barbie is way too kinky for little girls.
Religious group Christian Voice said: "Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far.
A children's doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible - it's filth." But Georgia Payne--dominatrix, co-author of How to Be a Dominant Diva, and mom of two--says the doll is harmless. "She doesn't even look like a dominatrix to me...she looks more like a biker chick. She's in biker boots and biker gloves...she doesn't have a whip in her hand. If my kids wanted it, I would buy it for them. I don't see a problem with it."
View our Barbies: In My Collection or Mama Won't Buy It? gallery.
What do you think of Black Canary Barbie?
No offense, but of course a mominatrix is going to think this is ok! If you think growing up to be one is ok, why wouldn't this be ok?
That said, I agree with mominatrix—this looks like a rocker/biker chic to me.
I don't have an issue other than it's be nice if she had some pants on—but at the end of the day, what's the difference between that and a bathing suit?
Barbies are for pretend! Let the kids play!
Some of these hysterical Christian women should ask their husbands if she looks like a dominatrix. They have enough personal experience to know for sure.
Lambofgoth, your comment may seem clever, but it's based on ignorant assumptions. I am a Christian woman and I am neither hysterical, nor does my husband dominate me in the same way that your suggesting. I do try to uphold a godly moral standard, but I cannot presume to force that same standard onto others who don't have a close relationship with God.
That being said, I don't agree with this particular Barbie as a play-toy for a child. I can see it as a collector's piece, but this is not the type of doll that I want my child to want to be when they grow up. I just feel that I'd be sending a mixed message to my daughter by saying "Here play with this doll dressed up in 'racy' clothing, but don't expect to be able to dress that way yourself." It seems like a stretch, but I've found that all the trivial things we overlook tend to add up when it comes to shaping who our children are.
1)She doesn't look any worse than the BRATZ dolls!
2)Yes I would buy it for my daughter.
3) It won't matter they will have the clothes off in 5 minutes flat anyway, then she will be naked right along with Dr. Barbie, Babysitter Barbie, Skipper and all the others!
did anyone click on that first link - dirty little babyz. wtf! unbelievable.
I was going to say the same thing about the clothes. It will end up naked with the naked Ken doll,and the 30 other naked Barbies your kid has, anyways. Her hair is awesome.
Swimsuits that are already sold for Barbie are much more revealing. I think the hoopla about this outfit stems from it being black leather-esque and having fishnets. In some people's minds, those two things equal slutty even when this outfit covers MUCH more than the swimsuits Barbie and most girls who play with Barbie already wear. I think it's just fine.
The manufacturer knows that it's not just little girls who buy Barbies, but adult collectors as well. I think they're being smart, actually.
I don't really think that this barbie is a bad thing for girls… She does look like a biker barbie the only thing i think should be added to her is pants… Some girls don't like barbies because they consider barbies to be for girlie girls not for tough girls so for the company to make a barbie that looks like this is good maybe now the tough girls will like barbies too…
The doll is not meant so much as a kids' play toy as for adult collectors. She's a representation of a comic book character, not a dominatrix, so I don't see why people are getting so up in arms over it. I would definitely buy her for myself, and I don't see the harm if someone had a little girl (or boy— I'm into gender equality) who was into the comic chara and wanted the doll of her, either.
I would agree with others saying that she will have all her clothes off by the next day and her hair cut or either ratted to unrecognition. Barbie will be transformed into something else. The collectors will love this doll.
Some people need to quit making things into something it's not. You can't always protect your kids from seeing, hearing or learning things you don't want them too. Heck I've seen middle school girls dress worse then this!
I am a mother of a well rounded female of age 23 so I can say for certain that an "off" doll, such as what people are saying this is, isn't going to do any harm.
This, believe it or not, is simply "BIKER BARBIE" and it can not become anything other than that.
Stay out of other people's lives and let the purchaser decide.
Keep your perverted thoughts out of my toybox!
Obviously, these so-called Christians are just looking for something dirty and nasty to complain about.
This isn't an S&M Barbie, she's based on the comic book character, Canary.
If you guys don't like it, don't buy it. No one is forcing you to. If you don't agree with it, explain to your kids why you won't buy it for them, it's that simple. Don't blame the makers for trying to make a buck to support our failing economy.

Of all Tiānjīn's restaurants, this is the one the locals recommend. They flock here in droves for the speciality pork spare ribs in a sweet barbecue sauce; so tender that they pull apart at the touch of a chopstick. The small portion (¥58) is easily enough for two people. There are many other classic northern Chinese dishes on the menu too.

Admission fees could be going up at Point Mallard's water park and ice rink this year, with a proposal going before the Decatur City Council on Tuesday morning.
Park officials want to raise the daily ticket prices at the water park from $18 to $20 for ages 12-61 and from $13 to $15 for ages 5-11, 62 and older and military. For ice complex rental, the price would increase from $200 to $225 per hour with a two-hour minimum.
The council will meet 10 a.m. Tuesday at City Hall to consider the rate increases.
When Point Mallard opens Memorial Day weekend, it plans to unveil $3 million in upgrades with the addition of a Lazy River attraction, new speed slides, concessions, bathrooms and entrance on the west side of the park. Officials expect the new rides to increase attendance and plan to use the extra revenue to pay off the project.

Democrats charged General David Petraeus's latest Iraq strategy was a blueprint for 10 more years of war, as they rejected "rosy" claims of battlefield progress and demanded a speedy US withdrawal.
The Democratic counter-attack came as President George W. Bush prepared to address Americans on future Iraq strategy on Thursday, and war commander Petraeus endured a roasting in Congress.
"President Bush's policy announced by General Petraeus is a path to 10 more years of war in Iraq," said Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House of Representatives in a statement after meeting the president at the White House.
"General Petraeus' testimony to Congress drew a bright line: redeployment is not an option; endless war in Iraq is the administration's only option."
Petraeus said during two days of marathon congressional testimony that the "surge" of some 30,000 more troops into Baghdad was working, and that US troop numbers could recede back to around 130,000 by next summer.
But Pelosi slammed such a scenario as "an insult to the intelligence of the American people."
The White House said Bush would make a live televised address at 9:00 pm Thursday (Friday 0100 GMT).
Senate Democrats argued the surge had failed in its prime goal — forging political reconciliation between Iraq's warring factions.
"We should stop the surge and start bringing our troops home," said senior Democratic Senator Joseph Biden.
Carl Levin, another veteran Democrat, said claims the surge was working was part of a "litany of delusion" by the Bush administration on Iraq.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton said the reports by Petraeus and US ambassador to Baghdad Ryan Crocker demanded the "willing suspension of disbelief."
Petraeus and Crocker appeared before tense hearings of the Senate Foreign Affairs and Armed Services committees, which came on the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a day of deep political significance here.
The White House argued in a statement that success in Iraq would be a "terrible blow" to US enemies in the 'war on terror' and extremists had to be battled there, rather than on US soil.
But another Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama, said it was wrong to hold a hearing on a day filled with echoes of the attacks.
"It perpetuates this notion that, somehow, the original decision to go into Iraq was directly related to the attacks on 9/11," he said.
Petraeus, who testified before the House of Representatives on Monday, said US forces could gradually be reduced from their current 168,000 strength, to pre-surge levels of around 130,000 by mid-2008.
But Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer accused the general of painting an overly optimistic picture.
"I ask you to take off your rosy glasses," she said. "We are sending our troops where they are not wanted, with no end in sight, in the middle of a civil war, in the middle of the mother of all mistakes."
Republican war critic Chuck Hagel had a similar complaint.
"Are we going to continue to invest American blood and treasure at the same rate as we are now? For what?"
But Republican presidential hopeful Senator John McCain, a staunch defender of the surge, warned: "The consequences of American defeat in Iraq will be terrible and longlasting.
"Iraq has become the central front of the global war on terror."
Ripples from Petraeus's testimony spread worldwide, with the general set to head to London to discuss the British military's handover of security in the southern city of Basra to Iraqi forces.
Britain said Tuesday its approach to Iraq would not be changed by Petraeus's upbeat testimony. France meanwhile said there was no military solution in Iraq and called for an eventual US withdrawal.
Meanwhile, Iraq's National Security Advisor Muwaffaq al-Rubaie told reporters that he expected US forces to cut back on combat duties soon.
"We anticipate in the near term a relaxation of the requirement for coalition forces to be in direct combat operation," he said in Baghdad.
But he cautioned against a quick withdrawal of US troops, echoing Petraeus in his testimony on Monday, saying the coalition forces were needed until Iraq's own security forces were self-reliant.
8 Responses to "At least 10 more years in Iraq"
Think about it – we've been in Germany for over 60 years, sure, we extended our stay because of the cold war, but face it, it's still an army of occupation, we've been in Korea for over 50 years – in fact I think we've got around 40,000 troops in Korea, defending and monitoring the DMZ – now that we've invaded and disembowled the military and government of Iraq we have few real alternatives to providing security and support to that nation for years to come.
And you know what? So long as our military is being sacrificed to their security, there's no clear reason for Iraq to accept the responsibility for their own security –
I suppose no one in the Bush administration gave this probability any thought before the invasion – from what I've read this situation is a big part of the reason that Daddy George did NOT drive through during the first Gulf War …. not to say something good about GB1 – but he and his administration must have had a better understanding of the political dynamics at work in the Middle East when they drove the Iraqi army out of Kuwait. Shame Jr. didn't share his vision –
Why We Should Exit Iraq Now
By Bill Richardson, first printed in the Washington Post
Saturday, September 8, 2007
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards have suggested that there is little difference among us on Iraq. This is not true: I am the only leading Democratic candidate committed to getting all our troops out and doing so quickly. In the most recent debate, I asked the other candidates how many troops they would leave in Iraq and for what purposes. I got no answers. The American people need answers. If we elect a president who thinks that troops should stay in Iraq for years, they will stay for years — a tragic mistake.
Clinton, Obama and Edwards reflect the inside-the-Beltway thinking that a complete withdrawal of all American forces somehow would be "irresponsible." On the contrary, the facts suggest that a rapid, complete withdrawal — not a drawn-out, Vietnam-like process — would be the most responsible and effective course of action. Those who think we need to keep troops in Iraq misunderstand the Middle East. I have met and negotiated successfully with many regional leaders, including Saddam Hussein. I am convinced that only a complete withdrawal can sufficiently shift the politics of Iraq and its neighbors to break the deadlock that has been killing so many people for so long.
Our troops have done everything they were asked to do with courage and professionalism, but they cannot win someone else's civil war. So long as American troops are in Iraq, reconciliation among Iraqi factions is postponed. Leaving forces there enables the Iraqis to delay taking the necessary steps to end the violence. And it prevents us from using diplomacy to bring in other nations to help stabilize and rebuild the country. The presence of American forces in Iraq weakens us in the war against al-Qaeda. It endows the anti-American propaganda of those who portray us as occupiers plundering Iraq's oil and repressing Muslims. The day we leave, this myth collapses, and the Iraqis will drive foreign jihadists out of their country.
Our departure would also enable us to focus on defeating the terrorists who attacked us on Sept. 11, those headquartered along the Pakistan- Afghanistan border — not in Iraq. Logistically, it would be possible to withdraw in six to eight months. We moved as many as 240,000 troops into and out of Iraq through Kuwait in as little as a three-month period during major troop rotations. After the Persian Gulf War, we redeployed nearly a half- million troops in a few months. We could redeploy even faster if we negotiated with the Turks to open a route out through Turkey.
As our withdrawal begins, we will gain diplomatic leverage. Iraqis will start seeing us as brokers, not occupiers. Iraq's neighbors will face the reality that if they don't help with stabilization, they will face the consequences of Iraq's collapse — including even greater refugee flows over their borders and possible war. The United States can facilitate Iraqi reconciliation and regional cooperation by holding a conference similar to that which brought peace to Bosnia. We will need regional security negotiations among all of Iraq's neighbors and discussions of donations from wealthy nations — including oil-rich Muslim countries — to help rebuild Iraq. None of this can happen until we remove the biggest obstacle to diplomacy: the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq.
My plan is realistic because it is less risky. Leaving forces behind leaves them vulnerable. Would we need another surge to protect them? It gets our troops out of the quagmire and strengthens us for our real challenges. It is foolish to think that 20,000 to 75,000 troops could bring peace to Iraq when 160,000 have not. We need to get our troops out of the crossfire in Iraq so that we can defeat the terrorists who attacked us on Sept. 11. By hastening the peace process, the likelihood of prolonged bloodshed is reduced.
President Richard Nixon withdrew U.S. forces slowly from Vietnam — with disastrous consequences. Over the seven years it took to get our troops out, 21,000 more Americans and perhaps a million Vietnamese, most of them civilians, died. All this death and destruction accomplished nothing — the communists took over as soon as we left.
My position has been clear since I entered this race: Remove all the troops and launch energetic diplomatic efforts in Iraq and internationally to bring stability. If Congress fails to end this war, I will remove all troops without delay, and without hesitation, beginning on my first day in office.
Let's stop pretending that all Democratic plans are similar. The American people deserve precise answers from anyone who would be commander in chief. How many troops would you leave in Iraq? For how long? To do what, exactly? And the media should be asking these questions of the candidates, rather than allowing them to continue saying, "We are against the war . . . but please don't read the small print."
Richardson makes an intersting argument – and let me state with no reservation that we should never have been in Iraq – however.
When we were fighting in Vietnam we were fighting an organized army backed by a recognized government with territory, with diplomats, which was recognized by the rest of the world. In Iraq we face no such foe – our "enemy" is not another government, our enemy is, for lack of a better term, mercenaries on a relegious mission, bound together only by an abstract hate for Americans and the West in general -there's no one to sit down and negotiate with, there's no one to declare victory over or defeat to, there's no government –
Now that we've disembowled Iraq, as much as I'd love to see us pull out, we have to ponder the fate of this nation we've assumed responsibility for (we did so by eliminating their legitimate government and the military it had).
Bush has placed us in the very odd position of being at war with an idea rather than another nation. In Afghanistan we were at war with the Taliban – which at the time formed the government of Afghanistan. When we entered Iraq we were at war with the Baathist regime of Sadam – but the "insurgents" came in simply because no one planned for security in the wake of the defeat of the current military and toppling of the government.
Our rapid withdrawl from Iraq, leaving a non-functioning government and broken military would allow for two possbile scenarios (as I see it) – one would be Iran over-running their long time foe, killing off their percieved "enemies" within the borders and taking the territory and resources for themselves. The second scenario would be that Iran would restrain itself from invading and allow the insurgent groups to duke it out for themselves, allowing for the establishment of a "talibanesque" government of fundamentalists, able to fund themselves with oil sales (you really think China wouldn't negotiate with them for oil rights?) and further the Islamic expansion across the globe (much as the Christians expanded their control and influence from the 1400s through the early part of the 20th century) – neither scenario is, in my opinion, acceptable.
Bush and his pals have really put us between a rock and a hard place on this one – quote Bill Richardson all you like (and I happen to like the guy) – but if we're going to pull out he'd better have some clever means to wipe out the terrorists and keep Iran in check in the wake of our departure.
Perhaps it's the fatalist in me, but I see a mushroom cloud in the very near future, and not over some atol in the Pacific for above ground testing –
As I contemplate what is being said about ending engagement in Iraq, it think McCain is right, the pull out of Iraq would indeed be the final nail in the coffin of his VietNam War. I think ending this mistake ASAP will put into a very justly deserved grave, the notion that America has the right to bully the world with its might. It means we can no longer make money off of arms selling. We don't have to be perpetrators of misery to mothers of soldiers and children from around the world. We will have our resources to build capital for ourselves, and can once again become a shining example of what happens when you reasonably fund infrastructure, education, health, science, art, and mentoring others. Real leaders lead by example, not by chest thumping and bulling. Real strength is found in compromise and mentoring, you only go to a fight if you loose your head and can't figure out what to do.
The headline is wrong! It should state "forever." That is and has been the plan from the beginning. A permanent combat ready american military force in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just like the anaolgy he used of Korea. Anyone with half a brain can see that that is what they are establishing now. The unbelieveably large Embassy is a statement of permanency. They are building the bases along the border of Iran-Iraq to prevent Iranian interference or invasion (a DMZ?). The "green zone" is a fortress in the capitol of Bagdad that would be our military command center and house a main force. They have concentrated on the border area with Syria to shut down that interference and will maintain some permanent bases there just like they are doing on the other side where Iran is. The list goes on.
What they are doing is obviously establishing a permanent "protective" ameican military for Iraq Just like we have always done in the past after our wars with countries. It's called feudalism.
This week several of our retired generals and one col. have spoken out in various ways. Georgie Ann Geyer published an opinion piece on Sept.11 and what follows is excerpted from that article:
From retired Col. Ralph Peters, writing in USA Today: "The generals point out that they don't control the strategic decisions, that all they can do is to follow orders, that then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld wouldn't listen to anyone, that Congress undercut the military, that the media's behavior has been pernicious and that Iraq's political leaders have failed their country."
"No matter the mitigating circumstances and political restrictions military leaders face, there is no 'gentleman's C' in warfare. The course is pass-fail."
-From retired Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey, testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on July 31, 2007: "The U.S. armed forces are in a position of strategic peril. Congress must act."
"However, the purpose of my testimony is not to talk about the ongoing tactical operations … but instead the disastrous state of America's ground combat forces. Congress has been missing-in-action during the past several years while undebated and misguided strategies were implemented by former secretary Rumsfeld and his team of arrogant and inexperienced civilian associates in the Pentagon. The JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) failed to protect the armed forces from bad judgment and illegal orders.
"They have gotten us in a terrible strategic position of vulnerability. The Army is starting to crack under the strain of lack of resources, lack of political support and leadership from both the administration and this Congress, and isolation from the American people who have now walked away from the war."
Finally, retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, speaking on his recent book, "The Battle for Peace," in a recent "Meet the Press" appearance, describes the administration's behavior in the war as ranging from "true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility" to "lying, incompetence and corruption."
In short: (1) Our military officer corps has become so bureaucratized, and thus is easily cowed by an obnoxiously dominating and humiliating figure like former secretary Rumsfeld, that we can never expect independent thinking from them if it is going to cost them their pensions. (2) The mindset of American officers is so rigidly conventional that they are simply incapable of understanding the Third World mentalities that they blithely — and ignorantly — fight. (3) Our military officers can understand only conventional warfare — tank battles across the belly of Europe — even though that threat barely exists in today's world.
Think about it. Every war we have fought (and too many of them!) since World War II has involved an "irregular" or guerrilla opponent. Especially Vietnam. Yet our military discovered "counterinsurgency" only three years into the Iraq war. The rather obvious thing to learn from this is, if you cannot do something well or at least understand it, then don't do it! That lesson most definitely has not been learned at the Pentagon, at enormous cost to America.
These people have said what I have been inadequately saying in bits and pieces all along. I retired in 1988. At that time there were no general officers in high level commands like the JCS that would be so cowed by incompetent polititions that they would not protect their own military. I cannot understand what the hell happened. And, by damn, we understood counterinsurgency and terrorism. That was what the SEALs were all about – dealing with those things. Now they tell us they don't know? How did that happen? Did everyone else that was involved with it retire with me leaving idiots in charge? I don't think so.
The problem is not with the rank and file. It is with the top group of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld hand picked cowards who wanted that forth star and the big pension so badly they would sell out their own military. Every one of them should be drummed out of the service, stripped of all rank, and spend the rest of their days in Levenworth making little ones out of big ones. They are traitors to the military and their nation.
I read back in the 1980s that America had planned to establish a permanent foothold in the ME in order to tap the last remaining large reserves of oil in the world.
That's what W is doing now, the bidding of his corporate masters who wanted this to happen. It has nothing to do with fighting terrorism.
We'll pay a high price for this folly of all follies if we don't put anti-war Democrats in every office from President down to dog catcher in 2008. I don't know if America is smart or brave enough to do this, however. We seem to think it's our birthright to kill a few thousand Arabs so we can keep our SUVs running.
Is this what America has to look forward to in Iraq,60 years of Occupation,spreading "democracy",Death and Destruction?
the US has occupied Germany now for 62 years.
don't wait til their patience runs out,pack up.
Don't give Bush all the credit for this Failure,give all to his advisors,like greenspan,rothchild,wolfowitz,bloomberg,chertoff and all the others working in the background,whose name we will never know.

Although I am a man I have been most insulted by this war on SAHMs mostly in remembrance of my own Mom in her choice, God Bless her, to stay home and WORK on raising myself and my two older brothers.
The payoff for the entire family let alone society as a whole from this WORK of SAHMs is immeasurable in effect and priceless.

I've always suggested that career women are either lazy or ugly, they believe they have, or have, no choice. Or too vain to suffer the children... And, I'll admit, part of the trick of a man (not a mean one, just a natural trick) is to... thrive in a woman's nesting glory. He brings twigs, strings, food, whatever else she calls for. She arranges it all, keeps it as neat and clean as possible, and they both live in their natural, difficult, but wonderful glory.

The Democratic Machine apparently feels that mothers who are able to put their children before an income (and not all are), are fools who need to be scourged. Those mothers fall into the "Sarah Palin - Enemy of the State category". And if they vote for Obama again, they are voting for that style of leadership which doesn't recognize their value to society.

♪ If I'm laden at all, then I'm laden with sadness that everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another. ♪
Posted by Lizzy under (Almost!) Everything Else, 60s, Movies & TV, Music

The statement "He ain't heavy, he's my brother," has quite a long history in American culture. From Wikipedia:
The first editor of Kiwanis Magazine, Roe Fulkerson, published a column in September 1924 carrying the title "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"; variations on the phrase are attested as early as 1884…In an 1918 publication by Ralph Waldo Trine titled "The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit" he relates the following anecdote: "Do you know that incident in connection with the little Scottish girl? She was trudging along, carrying as best she could a boy younger, but it seemed almost as big as she herself, when one remarked to her how heavy he must be for her to carry, when instantly came the reply: 'He's na heavy. He's mi brither."
In 1944, Father Edward Flanagan, founder of the former Father Flanagan's Boys' Home (now, simply known as Boys Town) in Nebraska, came across a drawing of a picture in a magazine of a young boy carrying another with the caption, "He ain't heavy Mister — he's m' brother!" and felt it was illustrative of the work done at Boys Town. Father received permission from the company that published the magazine to recreate the drawing with his own caption, which resulted in the following:
"He ain't heavy, Father . . . he's m' brother," became the motto of Boys Town. If you haven't seen the 1938 movie about Father Flanagan and Boys Town, I suggest you do. It starred Spencer Tracy and a young Mickey Rooney, and it is one of the best inspirational movies that has ever been made. You don't even have to be Catholic to enjoy it.
In the 60s, "He ain't heavy, he's my brother," also became the title of one of the most tender, beautiful pop ballads ever written. The lyrics contain an abundantly positive message, reflecting charity, compassion, and love, and the song has become something of an anthem for those of us concerned with the brotherhood of man. It has been covered by a multitude of performers, but my favorite rendition was done by The Hollies in 1969. Enjoy!
One Response to " ♪ If I'm laden at all, then I'm laden with sadness that everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another. ♪ "
Isn't it startnge how a song will resonate with you – and continue to have an effect for a long time. This song has haunted and encouraged me for years.

Time To Ban Hands, Feet And The FDA
The hue and cry from the gun grabbers and the elite power brokers to ban so-called "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines in the wake of the Batman movie shooting is a straw man designed to make Americans accept by increment the nullification of the 2nd Amendment.
Watch Your Mouth!
We live in a world of political correctness — so much so that there are two words many people consider offensive but which our Founding Fathers highly respected: "Creator" in the Declaration and "Lord" in the Constitution.

Honeymoon or Havoc: The First Week of Practice on New Repertoire For most students, the first week of practice on a piece determines the final outcome, for many impressions and habits are established in those crucial beginning days.

Disgusted by Napoleon's thirst for power, Beethoven dramatically ripped up the title page, re-named it "Sinfonia eroica" and established it as one of the most legendary works of the 19th century.

Parent involvement
N.P. Trist is the school that my two boys went to years ago and now two of my grandchildre go there and love the school. That what counts if the children are happy.
I have twin boys who started at Trist in 1/09 coming from a middle school in Poplarville, Ms. They put them in Honors classes and they have done wonderful. I can not say enough about this school. The principal is wonderful and my children love school and don't want to miss a day....
Trist has been a wonderful experience for my daughters; I have 1 in 8th and 1 in 6th. Both in honors and have done extremely well. I feel each teachers they have had, has pushed them that extra mile to get more out of them academically. My youngest is in academic games, and LOVES it. Extracurricular you ask? My 8th grader is in Student Council, 4-H Jr. Leader and a Cheerleader. My 6th grader is in Academic games, Jr. Beta and Cheerleading. To give you a little feedback: once the girls missed the bus and I was already at work, I could not leave. The girls were going to walk to school because they did not want to stay home. So THEY called a few family members before the found one who could bring them to school. Now to me 'That says something about N.P. TRIST!' I love this school.
My son was in the 6th grade honors program last year and he had the most awesome teachers, Mrs. Martin & Mrs. Tortorich. I was very impressed with this school!
Trist has provided an excellent education for my daughter. The honors program is wonderful. The teachers & administration have provided an environment that made learning enjoyable. They have truly prepared her for the transition to high school.
Trist is a truly child-centered school with an amazing faculty and administration. Besides a wonderful academic program, they have an outstanding fine arts program.

RE: Bert & Hilda Lee
I am not related to these families. The Lee's were neighbors of mine in my youth. After I had made my memorials, I believe, I found your memorials in the Palestine Cemetery. There are a couple of corrections that you might want to make to the memorials of Bert Lee's parents. All my research indicates his mother's name was Nannie not Nancy and that is what is on the headstone. Also, I found no evidence of what Robert Lee's middle name is, only the initial E. There is a Robert Edward Lee (1845-18230 buried in the Mount Solon Cemetery but that is the only Robert Edward Lee I have found evidence of in Wirt County.

Mary F. Jump
My gr grandmother was Mary F. Jump. She had my grandfather, Thomas P Jump out of wedlock. Mary F died shortly following her father's death. A descendant of Mary's sister, "Mint" Jump provided information she obtained at a Boone family reunion a few years ago. She was talking to a grand daughter nearing 100 then. She said Mary F. brought shame to the family by having her son out of wedlock so she was cast out. She died simply not eating because she was so unhappy. My grandfather, was raised by his grandmother, Sarah Jane Zumwalt-Jump. When Sarah Jane died, he went to live with his uncle, I think it was Robert Jump. They all moved out to California, and settled in Riverside County. My grandpa met and married my grandma, Lona Young. They had two boys, my uncle Thomas Jump, and my dad Robert Jump. The family then moved to San Diego and resided there until they passed. Donna Jump-Baker

PRINCESS ANNE, Md., - Outrage over the shooting of Trayvon Martin has made its way to the shore. Dozens rallied at one local University, demanding to see the 17-year-old's alleged killer behind bars.
"It was something that was necessary and we just had to take, go full force and make it happen", says one student.
And University of Maryland Eastern Shore students came out in full force, calling for justice for the Florida Teen.
"We all just decided that lets do it, lets get involved and get the students involved", says another student.
Other UMES students have stated, "Everybody doing their part in pulling together, so UMES had to do their part as well", "We wanted to show everybody that our community cares about the case."
A University administrator says, "This is just one great example of how our students have continued to reach out beyond campus to really get connected in a global society."
With skittles in their hand and hoods over their hands, UMES students stood in the court yard to remember the life of Trayvon Martin, and learn from his tragedy. And as the nation continues to react to the details of the shooting, students from the University chime in on the 17 year old's death.Seniors of the University state, "Me being a young African American Male, it could have happened to any of us", "Justice is justice and I feel that his death was in vain", "It hurt me inside, because its something that could have been very preventable."

"perfect card- after long contemplating and getting help from tiny prints this turned out to be the perfect card. Tiny prints was also able to add the design on the back. Beyond wonderful service!"
"I was able to use the font I wanted to use. The vintage tone looks great with this muted pink and brown. Very happy with how these turned out!"
"We received so many compliments on this birth announcements! I love the simple elegant design. The only thing we changed was capitalizing the letters instead of the lower case provided in the sample. I also loved that the photo on the back was a good size so you could really see the image. Overall very satisfied with the classic look and colors. Easy and beautiful!"

As I am getting even more crabby now about not having O'd yet this month (today is day CD 23 I think), I am continuing to try to keep my sense of humor.
Just so I can hold my DH at least partially responsible for us not conceiving yet again this month (if this is the case), I just heard this on the evening news about decreased sperm count:
Heard that if a man carries his cell phone at his waist, his sperm count is decreased by 30%.
So those of you TTC who have hubbies who use cells, check with them to find out where exactly they are being carried the majority of the time.

Often, the best things in life are the most simple. Take for instance chocolate and peanut butter, olive oil and vinegar, or pretzels and mustard. Delectable treats that anyone would surely consume will indulging in a movie on their big screen LED TV.
Since 1856 that has been Henry Weinhard's approach to crafting beer. He left Germany with nothing but a recipe, a copper kettle and a thirst to share his beers with the people of America. He settled in the Portland, Oregon and has since introduced a variety of beers that are sure to satiate even the most discerning of beer drinkers.
These include the Woodland Pass IPA, Redwood Flat Amber, Private Reserve, Blue Boar, Northwest Wheat, and Blonde. While many of them have enjoyed accolades and awards, none are as highly decorated as the Private Reserve, which has been winning trophies since 1999. And for those that consider themselves a foodie, Henry Weinhard's website includes not only food pairing suggestions, but a variety of recipes to accomplish such. As the saying goes "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime." We'd like to think that's Henry's philosphy, at least when it comes to beer and food pairing.
Nevertheless, you can find Henry Weinhard's beer throughout this great nation at most package stores. Checkout their Facebook page for more info.
Always drink responsibly, you must be 21 or older to consume alcohol.

15 Subtle Hair-Color Changes That'll Make a Big Impact
No major style revamp needed to completely change your look, just a slight color boost. These new highlighting techniques will kick up your gamebig time.

To get this rich brunette, ask for a coffee shade for your base, with caramel highlights running from the mid-shaft to the ends, advises Markham. "Olive skin can pick up green-ish undertones, meaning you run the risk of looking sallow," he warns. "To balance this, select base browns that have toasty hues like chestnuts or auburn, and add highlights and lowlights as needed. The depth of the warmer shades contrasts nicely with olive skin."

Colfax's Rachel Johnson won the final HS GameTime Play of the Week for this basketball season.
She received almost half of this week's nearly 600 votes for her creative bucket last Friday against Northwest Christian. The basket accounted for two of Johnson's ten points on the night. The Bulldogs beat the Crusaders 52-32 in the Northeast 2B District Tournament.
Colfax plays Reardan on Thursday at 6:45pm at Mt. Spokane High School in the district championship game. The winner advances to the 2B State Tournament in Spokane next week.
The HS GameTime Play of the Week is done for the year, but that doesn't mean our great high school basketball coverage is even close to being finished.
We have high school basketball highlights almost every night on KREM 2 News, but the biggest show of them all is HS GameTime every Friday night on KREM 2 News at 11pm.
In other words, stay with KREM 2 News and KREM.com if you want the best high school sports coverage in town.

A visitor from Switzerland recently brought some exceptionally tasty chocolate truffles as a gift, and I find myself wondering how they were done. I have done a tiny amount of truffle making myself for holiday gifts, but I am nothing near expert with techniques or flavors of different types of chocolate. Given how much everyone in the house enjoyed them, though, I am wondering if I can produce something similar at home when we particularly feel like a treat.
I know that different chocolates will give different flavors, which I am prepared to experiment with a bit. What is stumping me is that the dark chocolate ganache filling has a cooked or almost burnt taste to it to me - not strong, and not caramel. It is very much like the scent that you get when baking something like brownies. Is it possible that they intentionally overheated a small amount of chocolate to get that flavor, or is it something that some varieties of chocolate have naturally?
(I am working my way through various chocolate threads on egullet ATM. I had no idea I'd been quite lucky with my previous ganache efforts as I've never had any major issues with behavior or texture. Though I imagine having done it just for the home in small amounts helps - I never made enough for gifts that long term shelf life would be an issue.)
Purchased truffles - ganache filling has 'cooked' taste?
