My Response to Dorothy Rabinowitz and the WSJ
As concerned citizens it's our responsibility to challenge our leaders to think of new ideas, learn from our past mistakes, and be very conscious of the world they are shaping for our children.

Iraqi Refugees Still Too Scared to Return Home
U.S. military officials and the Iraqi government claim the country is becoming a less dangerous place. For most Iraqi refugees, those assessments don't count for much. They listen to reports from the ground.
For Obama: A Five-Point Foreign Policy Agenda
We no longer can afford to be the world's biggest military spender, and although the world looks to us for leadership, it has rejected domination.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. President-Elect!
For Obama, the Mumbai attacks mean that we are on the verge of another major geopolitical crisis, with enormous implications for our already deeply troubled programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Howard Dean for Education Secretary
I would love to have Howard Dean in the cabinet. Not so much because he's a progressive as because he is right. I am of the naïve belief that that should matter.
It's Not Hillary, It's the Policy Stupid!
Obama should declare that seeking regime change in Iran is no longer the policy of the U.S. and initiate diplomatic contacts with the Iranian government immediately without preconditions.
George Bush's Confession: False Contrition at its Worst
Yes, George, we will remember you, exactly as you wish, as a president who came in and left with his values intact.
U.S. Troops To Stay in Iraq Until 2012?
What exactly does the Iraqi parliament's troop withdrawal agreement change in the fundamental relationship between Iraq and the United States? The answer is: nothing.
Truth and Reconciliation
Criminal prosecutions of the members of the Bush administration will not enable us to do what we most need to do, which is to gain a full public understanding of what was done over the past eight years.
Will Obama Stay the Course?
If there is a grand arc to Obama's appointments strategy, it seems aimed at providing the appearance of continuity on the part of a leader who still promises to be very different.
I'm Thankful That I Am Not in Iraq or Afghanistan Right Now.
I don't think about our troops enough, and I don't do so for the worst reason. I don't because I lump them into a conservative agenda that is not my own. And that is horribly ignorant.
The IFC Media Project: Bill Kristol & Pentagon Propaganda
Ideology is no excuse for the Pentagon's bad behavior and it's an even worse excuse for a spirit of journalism that routinely fails to tell the whole story.
Big Trouble in Little America
Big Trouble in Little China debuted in 1986 -- arguably the peak of American world supremacy.
Wake Up, World! We are Fighting Two Wars Against Al Qaida
As long as Indian troops are patrolling lands where Muslim insurgents exist and elicit government responses that ostracize the Muslim public and moderates, there will continue to be attacks on Indian soil. Period.

George Bush was unprepared. Full stop.
Folks, these issues about how unprepared he was is a smoke screen. As the leader of the free world he was a complete failure in this role. The underlining damage to the country isn't even being discussed. he gutted or corupted just about every department their is. The real criminals are the folks that pulled the strings on this guy. The damage done is going to last for the next 2 maybe 3 presidents in IMHO.
I think Bush Jr. did a fine job.....anyone who disagrees....you've got your "change" if you need me I'll be in Canada!
Where have you been for the past 8 years? You definately weren't here in the USA...unless you were fortunate enough to be in the top 5% who is controlling 95% of the wealth...
You HAD to have something to gain from his war crimes and other atrocities.... Oh, I know..YOU are a Haliburton Criminal! I love Charades!
Please do us a favor and pay your fair share of taxes then.... but then again, go ahead and move...I dare you... I am calling your "bluff." I won't tell you to "love it or leave it." You have your opinion--even if it is a blatantly ill conceived notion.
Ha ha ha...fine job, indeed. If it weren't so tragic, it'd be funny.
bye-bye to the likes of you. Have a nice life now that you and the Repubs have ruined everyone else's.
