...Democrats cannot accept the notion that only veterans have the standing to attack the war. By relying on veterans to convince the American public that the war in Iraq was a bad idea, we risk reinforcing the belief that non-veterans have no right to criticize America’s foreign policy. If Americans get used to seeing only veterans speaking out on foreign policy (on both sides), we risk a situation where the American public believes only those who have fought have the right to an opinion on matters of war and peace. This perception is undemocratic and dangerous...

These executives cite huge losses and global competition as their rationale, yet they somehow find millions upon millions of dollars to secure their own salaries, bonuses, pensions and perks. The obscene thing is that bankruptcy judges and Congress allow...
...says he will pay $1 million to any civilian who turns in Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi. While visiting troops in 2003, Willis promised the same sum to Saddam Hussein's captors. "I've since been told that military men and women cannot accept any reward for the job that they're doing," he told MSNBC's Rita Cosby, who persuaded him to open his wallet for civilians instead. Of course, the U.S. government's $25 million prize for those al-Qaeda leaders hasn't yet led to their capture. But what's really...
