This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Of course, Mali was destabilized because we had to bomb Moe out of power. http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/mali-libya-unintended-consequences-7997
Really, the strategy is about bombing paupers because the US apparatus is convinced that all pauper failed state nations will breed another Osama bin Laden.

Bullying is not a good basis for an effective foreign policy. War should be last resort, not the first. This sort of stuff does not speak well for either our destiny or our legacy.
When England was an empire, it did the same sort of stuff. It was really good at beating up on third world peoples. Except in Afghanistan.
