Historian: Iraq War Violates America's "Historic Identity"
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis, an authority on the Revolutionary War, says that George Washington lost more battles than he won against the British but recognized that all he had to do was to keep his army together and hang on. Sooner or later the British would get tired of the war and quit. Does that sound familiar? America has not learned from its own history, Ellis says.

Bush Steps Up Iran Attack Plans
(4 comments) Pushed by Vice President Cheney, President Bush is stepping up plans to attack Iran, using the excuse the Iranians are smuggling weapons into Iraq, as the public won't buy another nuclear fairy tale story.

Iraqi Civilians Widely Terrorized In Midnight Searches
If six of 10 Iraqis say it is okay to shoot at American troops maybe the reason why is they are being brutalized, wrongly imprisoned, subjected to midnight searches, run down by truck convoys and gunned down at checkpoints. This is the bitter fruit of President Bush's criminal war of aggression against an innocent civilian population. The whole world warned Bush against invading, of course, but he didn't listen then ---or now.

Bush's Warmed Over "Master Race" Philosophy
(3 comments) The idea America has been "called" to spread democracy to the world has been used by presidents for at least a century. Hitler saw Germany at the top of a racial totem pole.
