Baptist Taliban: Part 3
by Cindy FosterTHE CHURCH WE WEREThe Preacher and his wife graduated from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. At the time he attended there, the college was quite conservative. There were strict rules about dress, dating, curfews, entertainment, music and much more.The Preacher actually grew up in Springfield and was a member of a church that was not nearly as rigid in its standards as the college was, so in the beginning of his ministry as pastor, he did not have the extreme beliefs that he eventually embraced later in his ministry.It was several years after the church had started and was established with its own building that the more relaxed climate began … [Read more...]

Who Was That Masked Man? Part 5

We were having nothing to do with the Smiths and Tom doesn't come home.What he does do is go to my husband and ask him to talk to me about working a few mornings a week at his office to transfer all his paper documents into digital on his new computer system. I don't want to do it but it's a little slow that spring in my job so I grit my teeth, bite my tongue and start going into his office for four hours every morning.

The Formula Problem: Why Duggarizing Your Marriage is Not Recommended

I can follow those recipes to the letter for one simple reason - I live 900 feet above sea level.Those who live 2500 feet above sea level cannot enjoy the ease of baking I take for granted.

Divergent (Divergent Trilogy #01)by Veronica Roth
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue — Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is — she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are — and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves...or it might destroy her.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book in the Divergent series — dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
"In this edgy debut (definitely not for the fainthearted), first in a trilogy, promising author Roth tells the riveting and complex story of a teenage girl forced to choose, at age 16, between her routinized, selfless family and the adventurous, unrestrained future she longs for. Beatrice 'Tris' Prior lives in crumbling dystopian Chicago, where citizens are divided into five factions — Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite — depending on their beliefs, passions, and loyalties. When Tris forsakes her Abnegation family to become one of the wild, fearless Dauntless, she must confront her deepest fears, learn to trust her fellow initiates, and guard the ominous secret that she is actually a Divergent, with the strengths of multiple factions, and is therefore a target of dangerously controlling leaders. Roth's descriptions of Tris's initiation process are as spellbinding as they are violent, while the tremulous romance between Tris and her protective and demanding instructor, Four, unfurls with heart-stopping tenderness. For those who loved The Hunger Games and are willing to brave the sometimes sadistic tests of strength and courage Tris must endure, the reward is a memorable, unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away. Ages 14 — up. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright PWxyz LLC)

Kyla has been Slated—her personality wiped blank, her memories lost to her forever. Or so she thought. She shouldnt be able to remember anything. But increasingly she can—and shes discovering that there are a lot of dark secrets locked away in her memories. When a mysterious man from her past comes back into her life and wants her help, she thinks shes on her way to finding the truth. But this new knowledge lands her in the middle of a tug-of-war between two dangerous adversaries, and despite her misgivings about both of them, shes forced to choose a side for her own protection.
About the Author

While she was a student, she often chose to work on the story that would become Divergent instead of doing her homework. It was indeed a transforming choice. Now a full-time writer, Ms. Roth lives near Chicago. Divergent is her first novel.

Neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins are a step closer to understanding pain sensitivity - specifically why its variable instead of constant - having identified a gene that regulates a heat-activated molecular sensor.
Their description of the function of a membrane protein called Pirt appears in the May 2 issue of Cell.
Pain sensitivity increases during inflammation or injury and we want to know what molecules are involved in pain sensation when sensitivity is elevated, says Xinzhong Dong, Ph.D., an assistant professor of neuroscience at Hopkins.
The ability to sense temperature heat and spice is controlled by the TRPV1 protein channel found on the surface of certain nerve cells. In an inactive state, TRPV1 channels remain closed-there is no pain sensation. However, when noxious heat-temperatures above 108 degrees Fahrenheit-or capsaicin-the main ingredient in hot peppers-activates a TRPV1 channel, ions flow through, depolarizing the nerve to create an electrical current that sends pain signals to the brain.
The interesting thing about this channel is its not always constant, says Dong, whose team set out to find proteins that modulate TRPV1s action. They found the Pirt protein,phosphoinositide interacting regulator of TRP, and named it for its ability to regulate the TRPV1 channel.
To better understand how Pirt works, the researchers made mice that lacked Pirt and tested their ability to respond to heat. The mice were placed on a hot surface and monitored for how long it took them to scurry off. Mice lacking Pirt responded significantly slower than normal mice.
The team then exposed one hind paw to capsaicin and found that mice lacking Pirt did not lick their paws as long as normal mice, suggesting that without Pirt, they were compromised in their ability to sense the spice of capsaicin. The researchers also tried mustard oil on the hind paw and found mice lacking Pirt licked for about the same amount o

New sublative approach offers better skin rejuvenation results with less risk and less downtime, according to leading dermatologist Dr. David J. Goldberg.
(PRWEB) June 25, 2010 -- Dr. David J. Goldberg, a leading dermatologist and Director of Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey, announced today that the practice will be offering the new eMatrix™ treatment for acne scarring in all of its New York, New Jersey and Boca Raton offices. The new treatment uses sublative radio-frequency energy to provide better results with less risk and less patient downtime.
According to Dr. Goldberg, "Studies suggest that up to 80% of Americans are affected by acne during their teens and early twenties. For some people, even after they've outgrown their acne, they may be left with permanent scarring on the face. The eMatrix™ treatment is a radically different approach to treating acne scars. Because skin absorbs radio frequency energy differently than laser energy, the eMatrix™ is able to promote healthy new collagen development deeper within the skin, while limiting damage to the outer, or epidermal, layer of skin. Patients are seeing excellent results, with less risk and less downtime. What's more, unlike most laser resurfacing, the eMatrix™ can be safely used for all types of skin, even darker skin."
The eMatrix™ works by delivering bi-polar radio frequency energy to create a fractional pattern of small wounds on the skin. This thermal damage stimulates the body's natural healing process, encouraging the development of new, hea

Course Content
Does democracy promote economic growth and welfare? What determines the size and evolution of the welfare state? Is regulation done in the interest of consumers? Is there a feasible third way between markets and governments in the delivering of public services? To answer these and many related questions it is necessary to understand the complex relationships between politics and economics. Governments and political processes define the boundaries of economic relationships and the rules of market interactions. Moreover, governments themselves allocate resources and these allocations reflect complex political bargaining. Understanding the interaction between politics and economics can help us to gain insight into the key questions of public policy making.
This course will examine public-policy making, its characteristics, determinants and consequences in liberal democracies. The course will first provide theoretical foundations from both economics and political science and then examine a number of topics from both theoretical and applied areas of political economy: collective action, electoral competition, fiscal policy and redistribution, bureaucracy, rent-seeking, regulation, information and accountability, constitutional reforms.

It has become increasingly clear that leaving hearing loss unaddressed has significant financial ramifications. A national BHI study found that people with untreated hearing loss lose as much as $30,000 in income annually, depending on their degree of hearing loss. The aggregate yearly loss in income due to underemployment for people with untreated hearing loss is an estimated $176 billion. And the fiscal cost to society in unrealized federal taxes is an estimated $26 billion. This doesn't even measure the impact that unaddressed hearing loss has on worker productivity, absenteeism, and presenteeism.
Fortunately, when addressed, hearing loss is largely manageable. And the vast majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. In fact, eight out of ten hearing aid users say they're satisfied with the changes that have occurred in their lives specifically due to their hearing aids. The national BHI study, in fact, found that the use of hearing aids reduced the risk of income loss dramatically—by 90 to 100 percent for those with milder hearing loss, and from 65 to 77 percent for those whose hearing loss was severe to moderate. The study also found that people with severe hearing loss who do use hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as their peers who do not use them.
Today, more than half of U.S. employers have some type of wellness program. By including hearing checks in these programs—and including hearing aids as an employee benefit—employers encourage workers to treat hearing loss rather than hide it. Not only does this help the worker, but it creates a work environment where employer and employee can work together to ensure that a worker's hearing loss does not interfere with job performance, productivity, safety, quality of life, morale, opportunities, or success in the workplace. In today's rapidly changing business landscape, where organizations are coming t

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the completion of his 3-year-long contract with Lunar Industries, mining Earth's primary source of energy on the dark side of the moon. Alone with only the base's vigilant computer Gerty (voiced by Oscar-Winner Kevin Spacey, 1999 Best Actor, American Beauty) as his sole companion, Bell's extended isolation has taken its toll. His only link to the outside world comes from satellite messages from his wife and young daughter. He longs to return home, but a terrible accident on the lunar surface leads to a disturbing discovery that contributes to his growing sense of paranoia and dislocation so many miles away from home. Moon is an engrossing, intelligent sci-fi thriller that ranks with genre classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Science fiction can encompass many genres--suspense, horror, action-adventure, romance, even comedy--but director Duncan Jones's Moon doesn't fit neatly into any of them. This smart, provocative film has no aliens or cool spaceships, and the effects (mostly consisting of model vehicles lumbering across the lunar surface) aren't all that special; instead, the material is character- and story-driven, centering on an excellent, multilayered performance by Sam Rockwell. The scene is some undetermined point in the future. Rockwell plays Sam Bell, an employee of Lunar Industries, the company responsible for mining a fusion energy source called Helium-3, which is vital to Earth's efforts to reverse a serious energy crisis and can only be found on the far side of the Moon. Sam is all by himself, and as he nears the end of his three-year contract, the solitude is starting to get to him ("Three years is a long haul," he says. "Way, way, way too long. I'm talking to myself on a regular basis"); his only contact with his wife and daughter back home comes through the occasional video messages he exchanges with them, while his sole interaction on the Moon is with GERTY 3000, a computer voiced by Kevin Spacey (and an obvious parallel to 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000). Things start to go seriously sideways when Sam crashes his vehicle while out inspecting one of the giant Helium-3 harvesters. He comes to in the base infirmary, seemingly none the worse for the wear; but an unnerving surprise awaits him when he goes back to check out the accident site, and the resulting complications occupy the rest of the movie. Fans of 2001, Solaris, and other cerebral sci-fi will enjoy figuring out what's going on; others will find it slow-moving and tedious. Either way, Moon, which was made quickly and on a relatively low budget, is well worth a look. --Sam Graham

Oh, and one other thing about the power gains...I've noticed the guys getting the flowmaster exhaust are noticing noticable power increases. While that exhaust also seems to have a nice low tone at idle and low rpms, when under a load or reving it certainly does have rasp....hence I'm guessing its a more free flowing exhaust than these magnaflows....and thus explains the power gains.
I really like the idea of getting the gains that FM guys are talking about, but I think I'd rather have a good sound than bigger gains at this point.
So my question is, have you noticed any differences in power or torque at all, or is it more of just a noise change?

More than 350 economists back Yellen for Fed chairAP Photo
Janet Yellen, vice chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, has received the backing of more than 350 economists who signed a letter to President Barack Obama supporting her.
WASHINGTON More than 350 economists have a signed a letter to President Barack Obama calling on him to nominate Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen to be the Feds next chairman. The letter is designed to draw attention back to Yellen amid signs that Obama is leaning toward nominating his former economic adviser Larry Summers.
The letter, whose signers include economists with past ties to Obama, credits Yellen for prescience in warning in 2005 about an impending real estate meltdown, for her consensus style of leadership and for her commitment to job growth.
Obama is expected to announce his nomination as early as this month. Fed Chairman Ben Bernankes term ends Jan. 31, 2014.
We believe that Janet Yellen is an extremely effective leader who has demonstrated her capacity to work with the other FRB governors and to bring important perspectives of the American people to her leadership and decisions, the letter states.
The White House on Tuesday declined to comment when asked about the letter.
Signers include Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz and Alan Blinder, a former economic adviser to President Bill Clinton and former Fed vice chair himself. Among those who have closer ties to Obama are Christina Romer, the former head of Obamas Council of Economic Advisers; Laura Tyson, a former top Clinton adviser and former member of Obamas Economic Recovery Advisory Board, and Alice Rivlin, a former director of Clintons budget office and Obamas appointee to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.
The central bank regulates the supply of money and sets interest rates, thereby influencing economic activity, hiring and inflation. It also is the leading regulator of banks and plays a crucial role as the countrys lender of last resort when banks cant get their money elsewhere.
The pro-Yellen letter was organized by Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Womens Policy Research, and Joyce Jacobsen, the dean of social sciences at Wesleyan University.
The amount of media coverage since Larry Summers name surfaced has gone in his direction, Hartmann said in an interview. So we felt her qualifications were being eclipsed in the public eye and we wanted to recall attention to them now and share our professional opinion with the president.
Hartmann said she presented the letter to the White House and top Obama aides Monday evening.
Without mentioning Summers, the letter alludes to his reputation for being prickly and condescending. There is less and less room in modern public policymaking, especially at the FRB, for a single leader to dominate discussion, the letter said.
Summers served as Treasury secretary under Clinton but forged a bond with Obama as his National Economic Council director when he oversaw the administrations response to the economic and financial crisis and to the bailout of the U.S. auto industry. He has a number of allies among current and past Obama economic advisers.
Yellen became a member of the Feds board of governors in 1994. Clinton selected her to chair his Council of Economic Advisers from 1997 to 1999. She was president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, one of 12 Federal Reserve districts. In 2010, Obama selected her as vice chair of the Feds board of governors, a position she has held since.MORE IN World/National Business

Marcum Quietly Excelling in Fifth Rotation Spot
To talk about the Indians this season is to talk about spotty play and trying to figure out ways to make the current roster pop.

The average 'Joe' is unaware of the animal cruelty that goes on behind the scenes of a rodeo.
All they are able to see is the fast action and quickly get caught up in the whooping of the crowd.
These spectators and non-animal people do not see the harm in electric prods used during training, massive spurs on an unsteady leg during broncing, bucking straps tied tightly around the flank area to encourage higher kicks. They don't see the problem with taking a young calf and training it to run like hell, only to be roped at high speeds, yanked backwards roughly, and tied up. They don't see the awkward and painful contortions that steer wrestling entails. They don't see the psychological and emotional damage that these events inflict.
Rodeos have gotten away with animal cruelty for too long and people are easily swayed by the financial profits and cheap entertainment.
It's embarrassing and despicable that Belleville is hopping on the rodeo bandwagon and agreeing to support such a heinous event.
I know there is little we can do to stop this event, but it's certainly a topic worth educating others on.

Museum Mayer van den Bergh
This small but attractive museum is named after the Antwerp art collector Fritz Mayer van den Bergh (1858-1901) and features many of the works of art that he collected in the late nineteenth century.
What surprised me about Mayer van den Bergh, when I read about him in the museum's Gallery Guide (fifth photo), was that in his lifetime he was practically the only collector to take a serious interest in the sixteenth century painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525-1569, also spelled Brueghel or Breughel).
"Mayer van den Bergh stood alone in his interest in Bruegel's work. Not only was Bruegel almost unknown, but the work of the several painters in the Breughel family was confused. Mayer van den Bergh was the first to distinguish between Pieter Brueghel the Elder and his sons Pieter the Younger and Jan."
The Gallery Guide explains that in the nineteenth century the art of Brueghel and his contemporaries was "little appreciated" and was "considered of strange or even questionable taste. However, in the twentieth century it was recognized as one of the high points of European painting in general."

The museum Mayer van den Bergh is the former house of Sir Fritz van den Bergh. He was a big art lover and had a remarkable collection of sculptures from the 12th to the 18th century, silver work, bronze images, tapestries, ceramics, manuscripts, miniatures, and also an extensive collection of paintings from the Low Countries and the Flemish primitives (Breugel, Jordaens, Pourbus and Rubens).
It is here that you can find 1 of the 5 famous paintings by Pieter Breugel the Elder, the 'Dulle Griet'. The other 4 are all in Vienna. The house itself is also a must to see.

Antwerpen - Meyer van den Bergh museum
Schoorsteenmantel ( 15 th century )
In this world there are some collectors who are touched by grace: Fritz Mayer van den Bergh, who died in 1901, 43 years old, was one of them. After his death, his mother built this jewel of a house in neo-gothic to preserve his precious collection of medieval art and Renaissance. She hired an Antwerp architect, J.Hertogs, for the job. Even empty, this edifice merits a visit, if not only for its multi-coloured marble fireplaces but also for its brocaded hangings and its richly sculpted wainscoting!
The museum opened in 1924. Private property until 1951, the museum was bought by the city.
Take your time because this collection equals manyothers in National museums You can only see art of the highest quality, famous names were not important for Mayer van den Bergh. The collection assembles 3098 art objects and 2,000 medals and coins. Superb retables of the Passion skirt the statues of Evangelists. The top items of the museums are without any contest
the two original Pieter Breughel the Elder paintings: De Dulle Griet and the Twelve Proverbs. This Dulle Griet painting, maybe one of the most important in the world was bought by Mayer van den Bergh in a sale of a Koln for three times nothing. Breughel was not so much appreciated at that time but Mayer understood right away the quality of the painting. He was a very keen collector and Antwerp owes him a lot.

Things I liked: Uniform, with almost no deformitys.
Things I would have changed: The price, and larger packs.
What others should know: I just bought a Gamo Silent Stocker Whisper .22 I got quarter size troops at 30 yards with these. Not bad for PBA..... Seemed to bounce off the wood plank I use for backing and some would stick.

Things I liked: I liked the obvious increase in velocity and they're pretty accurate.
Things I would have changed: I would say nothing.
What others should know: They're good pellets, however they are very expensive but you are buying a precious metal so i believe 5 stars for "value for money" is very fair. They're fun pellets, i would say try them or the Raptors, just to see what they're like and they are fairly accurate out of my gun. My review is based off the performance of a Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper

Washington Prowler
Mean Streets
The Torch spares no change. A Van Hollen volunteer.
As reported in the Prowler several weeks ago, retiring New Jersey Sen. Robert Torricelli isn't sharing much if anything with the man state party bosses installed in his ballot slot, Frank Lautenberg. Torricelli had made it clear to party officials that if they chose Lautenberg, who was a thorn in Torricelli's side when they were both in the Senate, he most likely would not contribute a dime to his replacement's campaign.
Currently The Torch has about $5 million in his campaign coffers, and at one time, was one of the most generous Senators around when it came to doling out cash to his colleagues. But not anymore. Torricelli has told long time supporters that he will use the bulk of the dough to pay off legal bills from the long, drawn out federal investigation into his acceptance of gifts from supporters. The rest of the money most likely will be poured into a political action committee he is creating.
"I suppose he'd throw some change at Lautenberg just to say he contributed," says a supporter. "But none of us expects him to do more than that."
Lautenberg is financing the bulk of his condensed campaign with his own money and that of the Democratic National Committee, which is helping to cover the cost of expensive media buys in New York City and Philadelphia, Joisey's two main media centers.
One volunteer, perhaps a bit overzealous in her support for her candidate, thinks the unfolding tragedy in the Washington, D.C. suburbs will help, not hurt, her candidate's chances on November 5.
While canvassing in Bethesda, a volunteer for Democratic House candidate Chris Van Hollen was overheard telling supporters that her man would win because Democrats in Montgomery County, Maryland, are more dedicated and focused on winning than the supporters of liberal Republican Rep. Connie Morella.
"She was saying that Democrats wouldn't be scared of a sniper, that they'd be out there campaigning no matter what. That turnout would help Van Hollen. It was disgusting. Her comments were made lightheartedly, but when you're campaigning for a guy who's big on gun control, how can you say you're banking on a crazed sniper to win?" said a Chevy Chase, Maryland resident.
The Morella-Van Hollen race is one of the tightest and most pivotal House races in the country. Van Hollen has already been slammed for using campaign materials that made it look as if he at one time had appeared on the cover of Time magazine. And quietly, supporters of fellow Democrat Mark Shriver, who lost to Van Hollen in the primary, have been pushing an anti-Van Hollen campaign. Polls indicate the race is too close to call.
A paid staffer for Van Hollen doubted the story. "I can't believe one of our people would utter such a thing. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't a dirty trick by Morella or even Shriver's people. We'd never seek to take advantage of this nightmare. It's just offensive."

Thread: Purchasing decants from TPC
Anyone have issues with getting questionable product? The last 5 samples I have purchased from The Perfumed Court have been very weak. I even ordered a sample of Aventus to compare to my bottle when I became suspicious and it was much weaker when applied to my skin.

I have probably 60+ samples from them and all of them seem to be fine. No weakness or anything like that.
Just moving this thread to the 'Shopping' section.
Yeah, same here. I've had poor service, extremely slow shipping, and out of stock products ... to the point where I asked them to finally cancel my last order, and I've never ordered from them again. But I've never questioned the legitimacy of their products.
Had no problems with them so far.
Agree with slow shipping but never had a problem with any samples.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"I've been everywhere but the electric chair seen everything but the wind."..
Slow shipping for me, but the samples I have gotten compared favorably with full bottles obtained later...

No issues with TPC whatsoever. Perhaps you've been comparing a dab sampling with a full bottle spray? There's also Creed's notoriously inconsistent batch issues to consider.
I never buy samples that arent in a spray bottle and if I do I just transfer them from the vial into a new and unused spray bottle. It wasnt just the Aventus that did not seem legit. It was all 5 of the samples I ordered that seemed fishy. I later ordered a 1.5 ml sample of Aventus just to compare to a well known fragrance for me. Perhaps they were left sitting in the sun by the postal service or something. Who knows. I never had an issue until this batch of samples.

DNA Match Positively Identifies Hunley Crew Member
Chivers, Syd, Sea Classics
The Naval Historical Center's (NHC) Hunley project staff and consultants positively identified Joseph Ridgaway, a Hunley crew member, through DNA testing on 24 September.
The NHC Hunley staff has been actively working to identify the eight pioneers who manned the craft on 17 Feburary 1864, when it became the first successful combat submarine in history.
"Before the DNA match, our only tools in identifying the Hunley crew for their burial was the archaeological, forensic and genealogical data," Warren Lasch, chairman of Friends of the Hunley, said.
In 2001, once the crew's remains were excavated from the submarine, Hunley scientists sent samples of each crew member to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command in Hawaii, where the samples were selected for DNA analysis. From there, the samples were sent to the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL).
AFDIL extracted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the samples and laser scanned the DNA sequences. Since then, they have waited for the Hunley scientific team to locate DNA samples from potential descendants to cross reference in hopes of making a match.
"A mother passes mtDNA to her children, meaning mtDNA identification can only be done through direct maternal descendants," said Jackie Raskin-Burns, AFDIL Supervisory DNA Analyst who led the analytical work on the Hunley crew samples. …

The rhetorical question is often asked: what do conservatives want president Obama to do about the Ukraine? As one commenter put it: "are you suggesting we should mobilize and take off on another foreign adventure to secure Ukraine?"
This completely misstates the problem whose roots lie in the understanding of four very common words: could, can't, won't and will. One way to respond to the rhetorical question above is to facetiously answer: "no it's better to wait until Putin reaches the border of Poland or tries to take over Finland." After all, Finland has been mentioned in the press as a future Putin target and Poland has declared itself worried.
But that is a digression. Back to the four words. If the question should ever arise: "are you suggesting we should mobilize and take off on another foreign adventure to secure Finland … or the Ukraine … or the Baltic" the first question to ask is can we?
Can is a statement of capability. The question of whether America should help secure the Ukraine is different from the issue of whether it can. What's destabilizing is the revelation that Obama can't. It's a crisis of capability brought about by policy mismanagement. A policeman can shoot you with his service weapon though most people know sane policemen won't. But if the public learned that policemen can't shoot — because there's no ammunition or no gun — that is a a more serious issue altogether.
As another commenter put it on this site: if the USAF didn't have the capability to nuke Chicago there should be a Congressional investigation demanding to know why. That would indicate a failure of capability.
President Obama has made it appear that he simply chooses not to stop Putin — won't — as if it were a question of choice. But the allies are increasingly coming to suspect that he can't because of cuts he's made to America's levers of influence, including hobbling its oil industry, in order to divert those resources to domestic political constituencies. It's not that he won't halt Putin, but he can't.
His inaction is a necessity. It's like having no lifeboats on the Titanic. You don't choose not to get into a lifeboat, there's nothing to get into.
When a president says he undertakes to perform a certain policy act, it reflects the combination of can, should and will. The problem with the Budapest Agreement is that the should embodied in it is without the can or the will.
This analysis also applies Obama's Red Lines. Red Lines are a combination of these four simple words.
The Red Line Obama drew in Syria is supported by the can. The US Navy and Air Force can bomb Assad out of office. But Obama lacked the should — the legal authority — and above all he lacked will or determination to do it. If you lack the will or the means, then no Red Line.
The United States can't draw a Red Line in the Ukraine for another reason. It lacks the capability. If the United States had the capacity to intervene in Ukraine, then the discussion might revolve around the shoulds of the case. But we're not even there since the capability to act has been traded away in any case. There's no point invoking the Budapest agreement any more than it makes sense to ponder whether to visit St. Tropez or the Riviera for your next vacation when you can't even afford a Greyhound ticket to Pittsburgh.
