    Mr Bush Just Doesn’t Get It By Khaled Almaeena, Special to Gulf News 07/27/2006 09:25 PM The savage Israeli aggression against Lebanon continues. Emboldened by world silence and powerless apathy in the region, the Israeli war machine is wreaking havoc and raining death and destruction on helpless Lebanese civilians.
    The news that deadly bombs and laser-guided missiles have been given to the Israeli Air Force does not bode well for Lebanon.
    On the diplomatic front, Tel Aviv has also (…)

    Grey Areas Over The White House Gulf News Editorial Published: 05/14/2006 12:00 AM
    It may just be that this particular White House is not any good at spying. It could be that it is devious. It may even be a mixture of both, either way it is in a deep political and legal mess.
    Osama Bin Laden remains free while millions of Americans have been spied upon, there are no weapons of mass destruction to justify war on Iraq and the Central Intelligence Agency keeps losing its head. A sorry (…)

    What Ann Coulter Would Learn If She Actually Studied The Bible By Celeste Beckendorf July 28, 2006 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. (…)

    The US: Too late for empire
    By Jonathan Schell, Jul 28, 2006
    Anyone who wants to write about the constitutional crisis unfolding in the United States today faces a peculiar problem at the outset. There is a large body of observations that at one and the same time have been made too often and yet not often enough - too often because they have been repeated to the point of tedium for a minority ready to listen, but not often enough because the general public has yet to consider them (…)

    Slogans for Dems:
    Stop the Bleeding. Start the Healing. Vote Democratic.
    Restore Sanity. Vote Democratic.
