America's Afghanistan

 
Sometimes there are major news stories the American news media does not touch; many times the reason is politics, sometimes the reason is ignorance.
 
About a month ago Sandra Day O'Conner, appointed to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan and recently retired, said the United States of America is in danger of becoming a dictatorship.
 
I would have thought this would have been a much bigger story than the vice president's hunting accident, certainly it was far more important, but it sunk beneath the news like a stone.
 
There is another story I find extremely interesting now taking place in Afghanistan, where the United States has invested so much blood and treasure.
 
A man named Abdul Rahman has been arrested and is facing the death penalty for converting from Islam to Christianity.
 
Rahman was arrested early in March after his relatives snitched on him, reporting his conversion to the police.
 
Converting from Islam to any other religion in Afghanistan is a capital crime.
 
It strikes me as very peculiar that this new Christian is not a person of great importance among the fundamentalist Christians now attempting to dominate American politics; and that this president who calls himself a Christian but believes the right to murder is his, does not use his influence to save Abdul Rahman
.
Another news event that won't ever get into the evening news is that Cuba, so hated for so long by the United States of America, led all the nations of the world in aid to Pakistan after the terrible earthquake of last November.
 
Yet another story that won't make the news is that I documented that earthquake in advance, getting the date right but not the location, part of my long series of proofs that this Earth is dying.
