You gloss over each and every issue that should be carefully inspected.
    From 9/11, to defending the Constitution, to spying on Americans, (…)

    Bush’s Roadblock at the Security Council by Mike Whitney
    Surveys were conducted months before the war on Iraq which showed that the American people would only support the conflict if there was a danger that Saddam was developing nuclear weapons. Other questions in the poll addressed the issues of humanitarian intervention, Saddam’s abysmal human rights record, and the prospect that Iraq had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.
    None of these other potential (…)

    By Peter Fredson
    March 14, 2006
    Years ago, in Central Park, a young woman was jogging when a gang of thugs waylaid her. They beat her, then raped her, and stole whatever she had of value. They felt victorious and gleefully encouraged their companions to rape her again. A truly jolly crew.
    They were eventually brought to justice, but meanwhile no jogger felt safe.
