...engineer at Ford Motor Co. "When something like this happens, you take no chances." Marwan Wehbe, 43, a manager at a national restaurant chain, agrees: "There's a feeling there's going to be a backlash." Some worry that law enforcement may not be on their side; they cite the killing of a controversial Detroit imam during an FBI raid of his mosque last month. (See TIME's photo-essay "The Troubled Journey of Major Hasan...
Those opposing the troop increase often cite the recent questionable election in Afghanistan as a reason why more troops should not be sent. They feel that the additional troops will alienate the Afghan people when Afghans are concerned by possible fraud in the election. The success of democracy in Afghanistan is without a doubt part of the American mission in the country; however, the goal of isolating and destroying insurgents should be separated from election objectives.

...some faith in the process, even if doing so adds to the already considerable logistical difficulties involved. But for many, it is not enough.

Not surprisingly, 84% of practicing American doctors do not belong to the AMA, and many in my acquaintance have quite a negative view of this organization...
...talk about some of the biggest energy users. You cite some pretty staggering numbers about the amount of oil that it takes today to power a war. The best one is that an F-16 burns more fuel in an hour than the average American family uses in an entire year. And each gallon of fuel costs many more times the cost of fuel at your local gas station, given the cost of transporting [it]. It may end up costing $100 or more per gallon. When you think about the fact that every day in Iraq something like 1.5 million...
