For over 4 years Iraq has been a living Hell, but George W. "Decider Guy" Bush is still confident that some day in some way the good old guys in the white hats will prevail. After all, that’s the myth that persists in many circles. Of course the folks who believe that tripe are themselves going in circles.
Let’s suppose a most unlikely scenario; that by September General Patreaus reviews the Iraq situation and concludes that indeed the smoke has cleared and the government has changed it’s (…)

I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned (…)

FALWELL’S LEGACY
John Chuckman

The bloody handprints stand as silent testimony on the wall of the staircase that goes up to the second floor.
This is where Ruqiya stood, the blood of her dead daughter all over her hands, as she pounded them on the wall in a (…)

“Failure is impossible!” - Susan B. Anthony, a leader of the Women’s Suffrage Movement
Washington, DC - On May 14, 2007, under a sunny sky, anti-war activists launched a “SWARM on Congress” campaign to end the Iraqi conflict and to bring the troops home. An estimated 250 peace activists, led by Cindy Sheehan, first assembled at Lafayette Park, opposite the White House, for a spirited noon time rally. After about two hours of speechmaking, they formed a procession, entitled, “Mother of a (…)
