...Editorial Page. Bitingly sardonic and bereft of thoughtful reasoning, the Herald’s editorial page is where inane arguments go to die. I give the opinion page some leeway since it’s the one spot where pontification is to be expected. But the soapbox shouldn’t be an invitation for the patently ridiculous.

But even Bush submitted his rationale for the Iraq war to world opinion. Unfortunately...
...truly shameful that administrators, alumni and student leaders of America’s most prominent university, who were in a position to influence public opinion at a critical time, remained indifferent to Germany’s terrorist persecution against the Jews,” Norwood said at a conference at Boston University sponsored by the David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies...
