The Vital Role of Anonymous Speech
In Mr. Ed Tubbs recent article, he attacks anonymous and pseudonymous writers as "summer soldiers" and spineless cowards. I write this in respectful disagreement. Throughout the history of America, such authors have provided invaluable contributions to our political discourse, and played an indispensable part in the founding of the nation. They continue to be an integral part of democracy.

A "Golden Rule" Foreign Policy
(3 comments) The Bush administration is trying to cram a "treaty" of permanent occupation down the throats of Americans and the Iraqi people.

Why Does the South Florida Sun-Sentinel Hate Democracy?
"It is a dark day when the Sun-Sentinel has the gall to tell the parents of the soldiers who have died in Iraq that pursuing consequences for those that prosecuted this war of choice based on outright deception is not a "REAL" issue that Congress should address."

(1 comments) John McCain says it's "not too important" when American troops are allowed to come home from George Bush's war. Not important to whom, I wonder. Is Moqtada al-Sadr a bigger supporter of democracy than George Bush and John McCain?

They can do it to all of us.
(5 comments) If those in power can steal one person's freedom, if they can rob even one person of his or her natural rights and strip him of his very humanity in the name of "national security," and then refuse that person access to the courts in the name of "state secrets" - They can do it to all of us.

Of Kings and Arrogance
(2 comments) This new King George has reinstituted many of the practices of the old one, such as the denial of the Great Writ of Habeas Corpus, warrantless search and seizure, the suppression of dissent and free speech, and advancing the notion that the Ruler is above the Law.

If You Knew What We Know...
