POPSThe Biggest Threat to the West Lies Within Itself, Not with Islam Simon Jenkins on threats to peace and democracy. This defeatism led the American Congress to allow its president to authorise torture and detention without trial in what Senator Robert Byrd called “the slow unravelling of the people’s liberties”. It enabled a British Home Office to curb free speech and habeas corpus. It arms police, fortifies buildings and impedes the free movement of citizens. It makes every Christian suspicious of every Muslim.

POPSNeo-cons on the failure of the neo-con project Invictus already clipped a related article ( link ), but I thought this deserved a clip of its own. Perle, Kenneth Adelman, David Frum and others on why Iraq's disastrous outcome is someone else's fault -- mainly Bush's.

POPSA Democrat Knows That the Leaf Turns: Garrison Keillor A great read. Here's a bit more... "The rescue squad can get to you anywhere in St. Paul in four minutes or less. That is official policy...And the four-minute-or-less response represents the nature of our civil compact here in St. Paul: if you urgently need help, someone will be there before panic sets in. In the suburbs, thanks to Republicans and their code of personal responsibility, the coronary victim will have time to read the entire Gospel of St. Mark before help arrives. There is a message here: if lower taxes are your priority over human life, then we know what sort of person you are. The response to a cry for help says a lot about us as human beings."
