The War of Words
By William Cook   

Living without Morality – Profit not Peace
 
There exists in the great satirists – Swift, Voltaire, and Twain – a profound respect for the human's ultimate weapon against mass stupidity, the human intellect. That stupidity is exemplified in allegiance and obeisance to organized religion, political parties, .. FULL STORY...

Economy without controls or Den of thieves
By Ben Tanosborn   

It's the (predatory) economy, stupid!

Four presidential elections ago Democratic political-carnivore James Carville coined the phrase, "it's the economy, stupid," to denote Papa Bush's failure to properly address the 1992 recession.  The senior Bush was the idiot then… but all of us, Americans, may be jointly the idiot now.

A fractioned America or Obama-Wright controversy
By Ben Tanosborn   

Welcome to the United States of Resentment!

Change… holy change!  If only we could be blessed with a light rain from the heavens that would wash away our prejudices, greed and dissipating wastefulness.  Cleansed, Americans could then become one whole people instead of the many fractions that now make up this nation of diversity; diversity not just in people but also in rights, hopes and expectations.

Beware an Attack on Iran
By Marjorie Cohn   

Is the Bush administration ramping up for an attack on Iran?  The signs seem to point in that direction.  On March 11, Navy Adm. William Fallon, commander of the U.S. forces in the Middle East, retired early because of differences with Washington on Iran policy.  And now, Dick Cheney's current Middle East tour may be designed to prepare our Arab allies for an imminent "preemptive" war against Iran.
