DEMOCRACY'S SLIPPERY SLOPE

Wednesday, 27 September 2006 9:32 A GMT-07
Democracic elections in the Middle East are not producing the results Bush and Co. expected, but we will have to live with the offspring of their policies.

LEBANESE LEGACY

Tuesday, 26 September 2006 5:32 P GMT-07
In Lebanon, Israel made the same errors the U.S. made in Iraq. The IDF "bought" the same failed strategy that overwhelming military might - another "shock and awe" campaign - would achieve a quick and nearly bloodless (for Israel) victory.

THE BEST HEALTHCARE FIX

Monday, 25 September 2006 5:43 P GMT-07
There is no question what the best fix of our broken healthcare program is, here in the U.S.: a universal, comprehensive, single-payer, national health insurance program. Here's why.

THE TYRANNY OF FEAR

Wednesday, 20 September 2006 9:55 A GMT-07
All the authorities have to do nowadays is claim that a case is linked to terror and they can get away with just about anything. The rule of law is succumbing to the tyranny of fear.

CATAPULTING THE PROPAGANDA

Tuesday, 19 September 2006 5:20 P GMT-07
You can't blame G.W. Bush and his gang for continuing to play the terror card.  They can't really defend anything in their record and so the only chance they have in the Nov. elections is to fall back on "scaring the hell" out of voters.

"TERROR WAR" A WAR OF LIES

Sunday, 17 September 2006 4:47 P GMT-07
George W. Bush is not the first U.S. president to lie to the people he governs. But no other president in history comes close to Bush in the number of lies nor in the egregiousness of those lies.

OUR FAKE WAR ON TERROR

Sunday, 17 September 2006 2:54 P GMT-07
The Bushies insist that we're in a desperate battle against "terrorism." In actuality, there is no such thing as a "war on terror," it is a fraud perpetrated for political ends.

WAR OF THE (FASCIST) WORLDS

Saturday, 9 September 2006 12:14 P GMT-07
Bush now says we're at war with "islamo-fascists" not terrorists. Yet his own administration closely fits the 14 identifying characteristics of fascism.

BEST BOOK ON IRAQ WAR

Tuesday, 5 September 2006 12:48 P GMT-07
Perhaps I shouldn't presume to name FIASCO as "the best" book written on the Iraq war since I haven't yet read it. But based on reviews & an interview with the author, I feel safe in making that judgement.

REBUILDING BOONDOGGLE IN IRAQ

Monday, 4 September 2006 2:16 P GMT-07
Prominent in the hype leading up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq was the promise of rebuilding the country which we were told would get underway almost immediately.  It has turned out to be mostly hype, and little or nothing has been done.

A NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE

Monday, 4 September 2006 1:05 P GMT-07
We hear much about the danger of nuclear programs in N. Korea and Iran, but little or nothing about the nuclear threat posed by India and Pakistan.

THE LIMITS OF FORCE

Saturday, 2 September 2006 3:38 P GMT-07
Military force has its limits in fighting insurgencies or terrorists. The U.S. military seems to be grasping that fact but our civilian policy makers still fail to understand.

IT'S UP TO US

Saturday, 2 September 2006 2:17 P GMT-07
Terrorists can inflict some harm on the U.S., but only an imperial presidency can destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights and take away our liberty.

LAND OF THE FEARFUL

Friday, 1 September 2006 5:02 P GMT-07
The Bush/Rove team has a single strategy, to increase and exploit fear. From the very beginning, the Bush administration and its allies in Congress saw the terrorist threat not as a problem to be solved, but as a political opportunity to be exploited

AIDING OUR ENEMIES

Friday, 1 September 2006 4:23 P GMT-07
Bob Herbert returns to the subject of how the "demolition derby policies" of the Bush administration are aiding our enemies, and constantly creating more, while doing nothing to defeat them.
