Far from an example of racist disregard for low-income riders, the MBTA’s new fare structure will in fact benefit those who truly depend on the system by taxing occasional riders and streamlining multimodal transit.

That confidence is helped, no doubt, by the crisis in Iraq, where the U.S. prospects of stabilizing the situation may depend substantially on Iranian cooperation. In the wake of North Korea, Iran's response to the threat of U.N. sanctions may well be a Farsi equivalent to President Bush's "Bring...
