Did you write a letter to the Washington Post Ombudsman yesterday? If not, do so now! We're not letting this one go! In fact, we're going to avoid linking to the Washington Post for awhile. If you don't know what we're talking about, please click on the link (or scroll down) to read yesterday's post.
News
Children pay cost of Iraq's chaos. Since the invasion, malnutrition of Iraqi children has nearly doubled. We post a lot of the sad stories about Iraq, not for the "I told you so" factor, but because it's important that we never forget the costs of this ill-conceived war. You rarely see these stories leading...
Bush Plans Effort to Mend Key Alliances. There's a lot of work to do, that's for sure. Our favorite quote is: "The effort stems from the administration's realization that progress on issues that include [the Middle East, Iraq, Iran, and North Korea] is far more likely with the cooperation of allies than if the U.S. worked alone, a White House official said." Really? Isn't this realization coming a few years too late?
CNN reports that "Someone" slipped a provision into the omnibus spending bill that would have allowed two committee chairmen to view any American's tax returns. Part of this is humorous, part of it is pathetic, and part of it is very suspicious, given that the chairmen were Republicans, Republicans control both houses of Congress, yet no one can quite figure out how the passage got there.
Editorials
No Way Out?, by Christopher Dickey. A look at the likelihood of a successful democratic Iraq without a long-term US military presence. A telling sign? How about the fact that the Iraqi Air Force currently consists of 167 personnel. Unfortunately, there's just no way our troops are coming home any time soon.
Powell's Unfortunate Outburst. Honestly, how can we expect to fight a global war on terrorism if we continue to squander any credibility we may still have? In the latest "Boy Who Cried Wolf" episode, Powell claimed that Iran was seeking a nuclear weapon. Do you believe him?
