...Chinese Century" [Jan. 22]: I am from China, and I'm studying in a medical school in the U.S. Like many young people in China, I have a lot of worries about the country's uncertain future. Chinese society has extremely good aspects, such as a booming economy and increased opportunities for young people, but also bad sides, like Internet censorship and peasants' and laborers' poorly protected rights. China's leaders must be made to understand that democratic reforms are urgently needed. Not only is China's peaceful rise an aspiration of 1.3 billion Chinese, but it will be good...
...Looking for the Restart Button" [Jan. 22] stated that part of President George W. Bush's strategy for saving his presidency involves a "new way forward" in Iraq. But, just as the reasons for the war were baseless, there is no imaginable outcome that could be called a victory, although this doesn't mean that the brave men and women who have fought in Iraq have been defeated.

What other person could have done the hard but necessary work of leading the country out of, as President Ford...
...Apple of Your Ear" [Jan. 22] showcased Apple's new iPhone. I remember a time when no one would think of spending a cent on an item that had such a tiny video screen. Remember the television screens in the early '50s? Well, we are right back where we started and don't mind squinting at a tiny screen. On the other hand, ophthalmologists and optometrists are patiently waiting for the bucks to start rolling in when our eyes...
...Spammer's Revenge" [Jan. 15] was stunningly irresponsible and defamed our clients, Omega World Travel Inc., and its subsidiary, Cruise.com Inc., which were falsely identified in the story as "spammers." The article was based on several allegations made over the past two years by Mark Mumma, a defendant in a defamation lawsuit filed by Omega against him and his company, Mummagraphics Inc. Omega alleged that Mumma engaged in a smear campaign waged on his many websites to brand our clients "criminal spammers" after Omega refused to pay Mumma $6,250 to avoid a lawsuit he threatened to file. Mumma based...
