The
Astrology of Happiness
Which
planet makes us happy? Is there a “happiness planet?
If so, would it be the Moon? The Moon represents that which
nurtures us, feeds us. Surely, we need all kinds of nourishment
to feel happy. Is Neptune the happiness planet? Neptune
represents drugs and alcohol, which can make people feel
happy. Neptune also symbolizes things which overflow their
boundaries, which happiness can sometimes do, and the imagination.
Neptune has a very spiritual side, happiness being often
linked to one’s sense of spiritual well-being. Or
could Venus make us happy? Venus is what we value in ourselves,
our sense of self-worth. Certainly, we need to feel good
about ourselves in order to be happy. Or what about Jupiter,
the planet of good luck, morality, religion, and freedom—all
helpful in producing happiness. Even “malefic”
Saturn can make us happy in a contented, self-contained,
serene kind of way. When we know our limits and accept the
world as it is—which is what Saturn teaches us to
do—we feel happiness and a sense of well-being.
In
short, every single planet in the horoscope can make us
happy.
I’ve been reading Daniel Gilbert’s book, Stumbling
on Happiness, a marvelous
and thought-provoking book. It’s not about astrology,
but so much in this book makes me reflect on the meaning
of the horoscope, planets, and signs. In future blogs, I
will be commenting more on this book and the ideas it raises
for astrology.
Rudy
Giuliani
Rudy
Giuliani seems to be leaving the door open to run for president
in 2008. See
a recent article analyzing his intentions, as well as several
other potential candidates. He’s
a Gemini Sun with Uranus closely conjunct his Sun (click
to view his horoscope; Giuliani’s
birth time is unknown, so his chart is set for noon).
He values truth and reform. Before he was elected mayor,
he was the government-appointed District Attorney and led
the successful prosecution of a number of Wall Street financiers.
As New York mayor, he led the reform of much of New York
from a crime-ridden city to a prime tourist destination.
His planets are in a tight bowl pattern, so he’s self-contained.
He has no planets in water, but lots in fire and air. He
has SIX planets in fixed signs. The fire and air elemental
combination, the Sun-Uranus conjunction, and the fixed mode
emphasis enabled Giuliani to rise to the occasion while
he was the mayor during New York’s 9/11 crisis days.
His horoscope has some other interesting features. He has
a Mars-Pluto conjunction, something which is also shared
by Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. Giuliani’s Moon conjuncts
his Jupiter, although without a birth time we can’t
tell how closely. It could be an exact conjunction or it
could have an orb of several degrees. At any rate, it’s
a good combination. He has a very strong need to protect
others.
Many political observers believe he is too liberal to ever
win the Republican presidential nomination. I mentioned
before in my blogs and online articles that a successful
Republican challenger for president needs to have a strongly
fortified Neptune. Giuliani has that, and it will help him
if he chooses to move to the right to try to win conservative
votes. Saturn is in an out-of-sign square to Neptune, and
Mars sextiles his Neptune.
Saturn is presently moving over his Leo stellium, so like
Gore he may be holding back right now. Pluto is currently
opposing his Saturn. Not many of his personal planets will
be activated during the 2008 presidential election, except
for possibly a Neptune opposition to his Moon, indicating
that he may not be active in that campaign.
Pluto,
Saturn, and Borders
The
upcoming Saturn-Neptune opposition should be eroding borders
and boundaries. Contacts between the planet of structure
(Saturn) and the planet that “does not love a wall”
(Neptune) often result in the dissolving of some sort of
boundaries, as well as the structuring of previously formless
ideas (DNA was discovered during a Saturn-Neptune conjunction).
In 1989, the Berlin Wall came down during the Saturn-Neptune
conjunction. In 1972, President Nixon broke down a boundary
when he visited China during the Saturn-Neptune opposition.
But now we are building walls. Congress is fashioning a
law to build a physical wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
The Minuteman Project can’t wait and has already begun
work on constructing a wall along a portion of the border
near San Diego. Other citizen fencing projects have been
formed (look
at this website for a sense of where the locked-down world
may be headed). This does not sound like
Saturn-Neptune. This sounds like the early rough bleating
of Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto is now within just a few degrees
of the sign of the mountain goat, which is ruled by Saturn.
Pluto is power and these border debates are all about power.
More signs of Pluto in Capricorn: A new book Who
Controls the Internet? Illusions of a Borderless World,
by Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu, argues that the Internet has
not really fulfilled its initial promise of lifting the
world onto a level playing field (or, borrowing from the
title of Thomas Friedman’s best-selling book, making
the world “flat”). Rather, national governments
have moved to control the Internet and conform it to their
own laws. Thus, in Western democracies, an open Internet
can flourish much more than in China, where Google bent
to the will of the Chinese government on restrictive web
searches. Of course, in the United States, business to a
large extent controls the Internet and so now there is
an
attempt by telecommunications companies to secure legislative
fiat to give them control over Internet access.
These border disputes--whether the border is on land or
in cyberspace--are all connected through the outer planets.
Solar
Arc Progressions and Saturn Returns
Solar
arc progression is an astrological forecasting method which
involves advancing each of the planets one degree for each
year of life. Just as one would normally do when progressing
the Sun in secondary progressions, advancing it about a
degree per year, so one advances each of the planets. With
solar arc directions, the Moon and planets are thus tied
to the central symbolism of our core identity, the Sun.
For more info. on the specifics of this technique, the best
book by far is Noel Tyl's book, Solar
Arcs.
Solar arc progressions have some very interesting correlatives.
For example, at age 60, the luminaries (Sun and Moon) and
planets will all reach a solar arc sextile angle (60°) to
their natal positions. At age 30, the planets are semi-sextile
their natal positions. This means that the solar arc sextiles
and semi-sextiles shadow the Saturn returns. A Saturn return
happens when Saturn returns to its natal position every
29 years. (Further enhancing this unity, the progressed
Moon also travels at about the same speed through the zodiac
as transiting Saturn).
Sextiles are aspects associated with openness to new ideas
and experiences, although with the sextile some effort is
required. It is interesting to me that Saturn returns correlate
with solar arc semi-sextiles and sextiles because I am coming
up on a second Saturn return. I’ll be 58 in August
(yes, I’m a Leo). I have rarely felt as open to new
ideas and experiences as I do now. Contrary to the stereotype
of late middle age, I have observed that a number of my
age peers—those who are 60 or almost—are often
very attuned to new ideas and concepts. Many of this age
cohort readily embrace new technology and delight in learning
about the world around them. The local college where I live
offers courses just for Pluto in Leo types like me who want
to keep on learning about the world. In fact, the solar
arc sextile complements the aging Pluto in Leo generation
nicely. Pluto in Leo loves to retain a childlike openness
to anything which reinvigorates and makes us feel young
again.
The Saturn returns are often the times when life chapters
are concluded and new chapters begin. We too often focus,
when interpreting the Saturn return, on the old and not
on the new. The solar arc semi-sextile (just after the
first Saturn return) and sextile (right after the second
Saturn return) allow us to be open to new beginnings, to
see the inherent possibilities embedded in a Saturn return,
the door which opens as another closes.
Thought-Controlled
Robots
In
an amazing robotic development, Honda has announced a new
“technology that uses brain signals to control a robot's
very simple moves.” According
to an article in the NY Times,
“Brain signals detected by a magnetic resonance imaging
scanner were relayed to a robotic hand. A person in the
MRI machine made a fist, spread his fingers and then made
a V-sign. Several seconds later, a robotic hand mimicked
the movements.” This has applications for people with
spinal cord injuries. It could lead to the eventual replacement
of keyboards and cell phones.
Astrologically, this may be related to the Uranus-Neptune
mutual reception. Uranus in Pisces and Neptune
in Aquarius have given a real boost to medical biotechnology,
and an increasing number of robotic medical devices continue
to find new and astonishing applications.
In addition, thought-controlled robots may also be a precursor
to the Jupiter-Saturn
conjunction in Aquarius in 2020. I know that
seems like a long way off, but it’s not really. With
the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius, thought waves
will control objects, but not in a magical or extra-sensory
way. The mind-object connections will be scientific and
tied in with robotics. Major planet patterns—including
the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction—usher in tipping points,
when a trend goes from a cultural trickle to a powerful
river that sweeps through the land.
More
Gore?
Al
Gore has been in the news a lot lately because of the release
of his global warming movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
This has caused a lot of talk regarding his presidential aspirations.
Al
Gore is even being compared by some to Richard Nixon--but
not for any bad stuff. There’s a political
wave of support that has been swelling for Al Gore to run
for president in 2008, eight years after he lost the closest
presidential race in U.S. history. Richard Nixon came back
to take the White House eight years after he was
defeated in a razor-thin loss to JFK. This is the fantasy
scenario: Al Gore will come back to take the White House for
the Democrats in 2008, after spending eight years in the political
wilderness. Does Gore’s horoscope support this possibility?
Very possibly it does. Click
here to see Gore's horoscope.
Saturn is currently going over Gore’s Ascendant and
will soon be over his 1st house planets (a power-plus Leo
trio of Mars, Saturn, and Pluto). This means that Gore’s
power and Leonine ambition are being dimmed by Saturn’s
shadow. He has said he does not want to be president, although
lately he’s left a little wiggle room. Right now, Neptune’s
opposing his Mars, which is probably adding to his equivocation
and uncertainty. However, Neptune and Saturn will soon pass.
Once Saturn goes over Gore’s 1st house, a transit which
will end in mid-2007, his outlook may change. Then Saturn
will be done with Gore’s Leo planets and Pluto will
conjunct his Jupiter, whose pull to great opportunity he is
even now beginning to feel. When Pluto comes into strong focus
over Gore’s Jupiter, things will change dramatically.
Pluto will also be moving back and forth over his Jupiter
during the 2008 fall election. In September, 2008, Pluto will
make a direct station on Gore’s Jupiter. In early 2009,
Pluto will have moved to a conjunction with Gore’s Moon.
Uranus will also be going over his Mercury during part of
the pre-election season.
These are all indications of an extraordinary amount of activity
in his life.
Neptune,
Uranus, and Internet Fraud
The
Uranus-Neptune mutual reception is manifesting
in some negative ways on the Internet. Uranus is technology
and Neptune can make one gullible or susceptible to fraud
. The Internet is rife with fraud. Case in point: a recent
New Yorker article showed how online
scam artists can delude even a well-to-do psychotherapist,
a man who counseled others on facing life’s realities.
The subject of the New Yorker article lost thousands of dollars
in an online Nigerian scam. His story reads like a case study
in what can happen when a good planet goes bad. Neptune can
be humanitarian and nurturing, but it can also put one in
a dense fog. A similar situation occurred recently when prominent
Southern California neuroscientist Louis A. Gottschalk lost
about $3 million of his family trust over a 10-year period
to a Nigerian e-mail fraud.
My own e-mail inbox includes frequent urgent missives advising
me that my PayPal account has been violated, that I’ve
won the Dutch lottery, or that millions of dollars are waiting
for me if I will just contact the sender in the Nigerian consulate.
Last Christmas, I was advised that I’d won the Dutch
Xmas Lotto—three times. Truth be told, I have a strong
Neptune in my horoscope. It sextiles my Mercury, Sun, and
Pluto, and conjuncts Mars. I’m a bit of a dreamer and
an idealist. My Virgo Moon, though, keeps me just enough of
a cynic to rein in my Neptune.
Neptune is casting its watery net over the Internet in these
scams, making some individuals susceptible to the siren call
of quick riches. Those with strong Neptune contacts to personal
planets in their charts, or horoscope patterns linking Uranus
and Neptune, need to be especially careful on the Internet.
Those who were born around the Uranus-Neptune conjunction
in 1993 need to be taught the value of healthy skepticism
in the technological world.
Neptune can allow us to be scammed in good ways, too. A recent
book, Stumbling
on Happiness, by Daniel Gilbert, demonstrates
how our happiness is often contingent on self-delusion. We
often fool ourselves into being happy despite life’s
most serious travails, during times when we have every reason
not to be happy. This is a good role played by Neptune. A
world bereft of Neptune would be awfully depressing.

The
Age of Aquarius?
Much
has been written about the dawning of the Age Of Aquarius,
an astronomical phenomenon based on the precession
of the equinoxes. However, there will be
a another Age of Aquarius in 2020. That's when the Jupiter-Saturn
conjunction will be in Aquarius, followed four years later
by Pluto's entry into Aquarius. Although it is not directly
related to astrology, an
interesting article by noted futurist Ray Kurzweil, writing
in Science and Theology News, discusses
what we might be seeing in the world of 2020, and it looks
a lot like an Aquarian age. Aquarius is mental and airy. It
is co-ruled by the planets Saturn and Uranus, an excellent
planetary combination for applied intelligence and life-extending
digital engineering. Nanotechnology will change our world,
says Kurzweil. Something as small as a blood cell will be
be robotic, transforming medicine and healing:
"There are devices that today require surgery to be implanted,
but when we get to the 2020s, we will ultimately have the
'killer app' of nanotechnology, nanobots, which are blood-cell-sized
devices that can go inside the body and brain to perform therapeutic
functions, as well as advance the capabilities of our bodies
and brains."
Kurzweil also says that, "...by the 2020s we will have sufficient
computer processing to emulate the human brain...Although
there's a certain amount of plasticity, biological intelligence
is essentially fixed. Nonbiological intelligence is growing
exponentially; the crossover point will be in the 2020's."
A
Pluto in Sag. Name Phenomenon
Sagittarius
has to do with religion and spirituality, the search for
ultimate meaning. The symbol of Sagittarius is the centaur
shooting an arrow skyward., and the direction of Sagittarius
is out, up, and away. It is ruled by Jupiter, the planet
of religion and beliefs. Pluto is a planet whose passage
defines generations. It has, for the past ten years, been
in Sagittarius, whose arrow has been arcing over the cultural
and generational landscape.
The religious side of Sagittarius has surfaced in many ways
culturally and politically. Just look at world events, domestic
politics, TV shows, and the best seller list. Now add names
to the list of religion-themed cultural trends being influenced
by Pluto in Sag. The
NY Times reports on an astonishing name phenomenon.
Girls are being named Nevaeh (pronounced Nah-VAY-uh) in
unprecedented numbers. Nevaeh is heaven spelled backwards.
It surged into popularity when a Christian rock star went
on MTV six years ago and announced that he had named his
daughter Nevaeh. It is now a more popular girl’s name
than Sara or Vanessa. No name has ever become so popular
so fast. The Times reports that in 1999, only eight girls
were named Nevaeh. Now, there are thousands. They are not
in school yet, so teachers have not made note of the new
name, but soon these young Pluto in Sag. girls will start
to enter kindergarten. Nevaeh is different from the long-popular
Biblical names—Matthew, Mary, Rachel, Mark, and in
Spanish, Jesus. This is a new, invented name which comes
directly out of the world we live in, a world in which religious
beliefs have become very assertive.
The Times writes that Nevaeh “has hit a cultural nerve
with its religious overtones, creative twist and fashionable
final ‘ah’ sound. It has risen most quickly
among blacks but is also popular with evangelical Christians,
who have helped propel other religious names like Grace
(ranked 14th) up the charts, experts say.”
Pluto
in Scorpio Generation
An
interesting
article in Hub Magazine (it’s a
pdf file so you’ll need Acrobat Reader to open it)
is titled “Disrupting Boundaries: How Understanding
a Tribe of ‘Urban Nomads’ Fueled the Success
of Sony’s PSP.” It spotlights the young Pluto
in Scorpio generation, although of course the author doesn’t
know that’s what it is. He refers to them as “Urban
Nomads” who “crave opportunities to connect
with other members of their tribe…[are] always on
the go…[and] exhibit ‘addict-like’ behavior.”
This young generation relies on “turbo-boosting tools
and techniques to help them survive the shift from multi-tasking
to hyper-tasking, and to manage the intense and compulsive
connectivity they cannot live without.”
Although the article addresses more specifically the marketing
rollout of the portable Sony PlayStation, it is interesting
how closely the article’s generational description
mirrors my
astrological profile of the teen and young twenties Pluto
in Scorpio generation. This is indeed
a generation which insists on being connected all the time,
reflecting the Scorpio/8th house addictive need to share
common resources. Pluto also represents the uses of power
and so “turbo-boosting”—increasing power
through shared dynamics—is going to be a marker of
this generation for decades to come.
Emotional
Support Pets
In
astrology, pets have long been held to be a 6th house matter.
The 6th house is associated with Virgo, one-half of the Virgo-Pisces
axis. My wife, a Pisces, loves pets and small animals. We
have a dog, Felix, and two cats, Lucky and Figs. They are
all beloved members of our family.
A fascinating article
in the New York Times reveals how emotional
support pets are being allowed the same privileges previously
accorded only to guide dogs for the blind. The Americans with
Disabilities Act was interpreted by the Department of Transportation
to allow the free transport of emotional support pets on airline
flights. This allowance has since burgeoned into a full-fledged
movement to allow emotional support pets into no-pets apartments,
hotels, and restaurants. According to the article,
“The increasing appearance of pets whose owners say
they are needed for emotional support in restaurants —
as well as on airplanes, in offices and even in health spas
— goes back, according to those who train such animals,
to a 2003 ruling by the Department of Transportation. It clarified
policies regarding disabled passengers on airplanes, stating
for the first time that animals used to aid people with emotional
ailments like depression or anxiety should be given the same
access and privileges as animals helping people with physical
disabilities like blindness or deafness.”
How does this fit in with astrology? Uranus is currently in
Pisces. In fact, the legal issue of emotional support pets
first surfaced just as Uranus was moving into Pisces. Pisces
is associated with the 12th house and loneliness, nurturing,
and emotional undercurrents. Awareness of the Department of
Transportation ruling has been spread among pet owners through
the Internet (Uranus). A planet in a sign will always activate
the opposing sign. The sign opposite Pisces is Virgo and there
we find…pets.

Google
Trends
Google
has a fun new tool called Google
Trends. You can enter any search term and see how
big it is and from where in the world people are searching for
that term. I entered "astrology." Not surprisingly, India was
far and away the world's center for Internet astrology searches.
The U.S. ranked below Australia and Canada in astrology searches.
You can also put in two words (or more) separated by commas
and see their relative popularity. I entered "Pluto, Neptune"
and the results raised some interesting questions. Why is Pluto
such a popular search term in Sweden, where it ranks higher
as a search term than any other place on earth and beats out
Neptune by a mile? And yet in Canada and the U.S., Neptune "wins"?
"Vedic astrology is popular in, of course, India--but in second
place is the United Arab Emirates. Perhaps this is because of
all the Indian workers who live there. The most searching for
"horoscope" was done in...Morocco? If anyone wants to e-mail
me (philbrown@astrofuturetrends.com)
with more interesting Google Trend results related to astrology,
I'll try to post some in another blog.
Does
the Horoscope Hold Our Destiny or Our Potential?
Does
the horoscope present the individual with potential or simple
twists of fate? The authors of the best-selling Freakonomics,
Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt, have an
interesting piece in the NY Times. They
cite research which demonstrated that “elite soccer
players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months
of the year than in the later months.” Specifically,
being born in January, February, and March greatly increases
one’s prospects of becoming a World Cup soccer player.
One reason suggested by the authors, with tongue half in cheek,
is astrological signs: January (Capricorn), February (Aquarius),
and March (Pisces) births make one more destined to excel
in soccer. However, the authors conclude much more prosaically:
“Since youth sports are organized by age bracket, teams
inevitably have a cutoff birth date. In the European youth
soccer leagues, the cutoff date is Dec. 31. So when a coach
is assessing two players in the same age bracket, one who
happened to have been born in January and the other in December,
the player born in January is likely to be bigger, stronger,
more mature. Guess which player the coach is more likely to
pick? He may be mistaking maturity for ability, but he is
making his selection nonetheless. And once chosen, those January-born
players are the ones who, year after year, receive the training,
the deliberate practice and the feedback — to say nothing
of the accompanying self-esteem — that will turn them
into elites.”
In other words, birth month is destiny—although our
fate (dear Brutus) lies not in our stars, but in cutoff dates
for picking teams. The other way of looking at this astrologically,
though, is to examine the traditional rulers of Capricorn
and Pisces—Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn is associated
with preparation and training, the hard work essential to
becoming a star athlete. Jupiter has long been associated
with athletic skill—and the high self-esteem and confidence
necessary to reach the top in a sport. Through the simple
destiny of a Jan.-March Sun sign, soccer players are chosen
and coached. Then, through the potential of their Sun sign
rulers, they have the resources to respond and develop where
fate has placed them.
Iago's
First Saturn Return
In
an
article I wrote for The Mountain Astrologer a couple
of years ago titled “Shakespeare, Astrology, and Alchemy:
A Critical and Historical Perspective”
I commented on Juliet’s experience of her first Saturn
opposition during the course of the play. Her age and birthday
are both specified in Romeo and Juliet (“On
Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen”).
I've been reading Othello, a true play for the age
of terrorism in which a country is under threatened attack
in a remote land (Cyprus). The villainous plotter Iago uses
these fears over national security as a distraction while
he works behind the scenes to plant rumor and vicious innuendo.
Iago is another Shakespearean character whose age we know
from the text. He is 28 years old (“I have looked upon
the world for four times seven years”). Iago is thus
coming up on his first Saturn return.
As I’ve noted
elsewhere on my website, Saturn is a planet
of personal growth and life lessons; it takes about twenty-nine
years to go once around the horoscope. When it makes the first
return, at about age twenty-nine, we have experienced Saturn
teaching lessons to all of our planets and houses. How well
we have learned the lessons is often revealed in events which
take place in our late twenties. Whether we like it or not,
we are forced to somehow look at our lives with all the gloss,
superficiality, and people-pleasing stripped away—to
see ourselves as we really are. This can often be a jarring
experience. It is a time when many individuals begin to take
the first tentative steps towards connecting with who they
really are.
Iago is a character who sees himself with no gloss whatsoever.
He knows exactly who he is and what he is doing. He has a
surfeit of guile where others are concerned, but does not
fool himself at all. He is the dark side of the Saturn return.
Patrick
Kennedy
Just
a few comments on the incident involving Patrick Kennedy,
the son of Senator Ted Kennedy. Patrick Kennedy crashed his
car into a security barrier at 2:50 on the morning of May
4, 2006. Today, he admitted prescription drug addiction and
said he was going to enter rehab. He had had drug problems
in the past.
Patrick Kennedy is a Cancer Sun. He has a very close trine
between the Sun and Neptune. It is the closest major aspect
in his horoscope. Close natal contacts between the Sun and
Neptune are sometimes indicators of the potential for addictive
escape through drugs and alcohol. At the time of his accident,
Neptune was being triggered by a square from solar arc Mercury
and opposition from solar arc Saturn. In solar arc progressions,
each planet is advanced one degree for each year. This informs
the whole horoscope with the central symbolism of the Sun,
which in astrological progression theory is advanced one degree
for each year of life. If Patrick Kennedy was born later in
the evening (his birth time is not known, at least not by
me), solar arc Pluto would be hitting his Moon.
The
U.S. Civil War, Chiron, and Iraq
What
was the astrology of the U.S. Civil War?
The U.S. Civil War began with the firing of the first shots
on Fort Sumter, South Carolina on April 12, 1861, at 4:30
AM. Uranus had just completed its first return to the U.S.
Uranus while transiting Mars was conjunct the U.S. Uranus.
This is almost enough to make one favor the Gemini rising
U.S. chart, which has Uranus in the 1st house conjunct the
Ascendant. Actually, the three most popular U.S. horoscopes
(Sag. rising, Gemini rising, and Virgo rising) all have Uranus
on one of the angles. Not matter what, Uranus stands out in
the U.S. horoscope.
Another Uranus cycle, by the way, brings us to World War II
and the U.S atomic bomb. Another Uranus cycle after that will
bring us to 2028, which is not really that far off—just
another 22 years.
Chiron represents, among many other things, the wound and
the wounded healer. At the start of the Civil War, the U.S.
Chiron was very strongly affected. At that time, the U.S.
horoscope solar arc directed Pluto was hovering over the U.S.
Chiron and secondary progressed Saturn was opposing Chiron.
At the same time, solar arc Chiron was hitting the U.S. Sun.
Civil War does imply a national wound that has never healed
and is dealt with through war. Our Chironic wounds of slavery
and destruction of the American Indian are still deeply troubling
to the national psyche.
So we have Uranus, Mars, Chiron, and to a lesser degree Saturn
and Pluto all involved in the start of the U.S. Civil War.
In the Iraq horoscope, Chiron is at the exact same degree
as Pluto in the U.S. horoscope, signifying the deep, painful
connection which has come to pass between these two nations.
If the U.S. stays, it invites national strife and discord
through its very presence. If the U.S. leaves Iraq, it will
leave chaos in its wake.
