The bipartisan Beltway consensus that sponsored the Iraq war is in the uncomfortable and unfamiliar position of having to justify its most basic tenets. After the Washington foreign policy community all but unanimously assured Americans of the prudence and necessity of starting a war with Iraq, other articles of faith in foreign policy circles are coming under attack. Failed states rarely present threats to the US, and attempting to "fix" them portends serious problems for US policy. Despite the vacuity of the concept of state failure, some scholars have been working from the assumption that people should embark on a policy of fixing failed states. Indeed, some students of international politics have moved far beyond advocating for the placement of state failure as the center of US nati...
Withdrawal Symptoms What a refreshing and necessary series of articles about the complex realities of a U.S. pullout from the war in Iraq. The central point of a national conversation about how to pull out of Iraq should be about reaching a negotiated political settlement, and our European allies should be given a big role in facilitating a solution.
By the time this review appears, the book titled "Fiasco" by Thomas Ricks, a military correspondent for The Washington Post, will have taken a welldeserved place on the lengthening shelf of excellent critiques on the war in Iraq. The New York Times, the 'paper of record,'would carrymore than its share ofmisinformed articles that helped drive the nation toward war in Iraq.

The president's new approach to Iraq has encouraged a spate of articles and comments about the Vietnam War, held up as a cautionary example of how we could go wrong in Iraq. None, however, described the blunders and misperceptions that really led to defeat in South Vietnam. I was continuously involved with Vietnam, from November 1965 to January 1976, from the rice paddies to the White House. In the final period, as head of the Indochina Staff of the White House National Security Staff, I was probably the most senior U.S. official solely involved with Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos). This vantage point has afforded me a take on Vietnam different from most.

Hang onto your sanity; Hannah Naiditch is off on another rant. She not only branded our noble nation an arrogant empire, but alleged that we'd all be better off if we would just lose this war in Iraq. In support of these monstrous lies, she quoted two articles in the Nation magazine by Jonathon Schell. The titles tell you all you need to know: "The Importance of Losing" and "Empire Without Law. It is worth noting here that the Nation magazine is a Marxist rag that has sided with our enemies through the decades. It is also worth noting that the left has a nasty habit of redefining terms like empire, so that it can fraudulently convict America of crimes we never committed. America is no more an empire than the People's Republic of China is a republic. We can't even get Mexico to vote wit...
NEWFANE, Vt. - In five Vermont communities, a centuries-old tradition of residents gathering in town halls to conduct local business became a vehicle to send a message to Washington: Impeach the president. An impeachment article, approved by a paper ballot 121-29 in Newfane Tuesday, calls on Vermont's lone member of the U.S. House, independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file articles of impeachment against President Bush, alleging he misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying.
CLEVELAND -- Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a vocal critic of the Bush administration's war in Iraq, plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney today. Kucinich, a Democrat who is again running for president, said Monday that he will hold a news conference in Washington to discuss his bid to oust Cheney. Kucinich spokeswoman Natalie Laber declined further comment.
STOP the presses! The Pilot's Log of Hasbrouck Heights is one of the best high school newspapers in the nation. The paper's 62 reporters, editors, artists and photographers have won top awards again at the National High School Journalism Convention. And no wonder. The newspaper isn't afraid to do serious reporting about challenging issues not just the war in Iraq and avian flu, but also four pages of articles on date rape in one recent edition. The current issue focuses on understanding abusive relationships.
