While I’m incredibly proud of the courageous American acts I’ve witnessed on TV these past few days, I can’t help but remember a time when those of this country used our own religious texts to justify the slaughter of Native Americans and the enslavement of blacks, just as the terrorists attacked our country in the name of Islam. While these instances might not be parallel, throughout the years, whether we knew about it or not, innocent people of other lands have died as a result of our country?...
...NATO is not sending its troops in as lambs to the slaughter. The rebels have so far proved politically adept at couching their demands within the frame of what might be acceptable to the West. For example, a separate Albanian territory in Macedonia was a non-starter, so instead the guerrillas announced that they were simply demanding greater civil rights in the Macedonian constitution. And that responsiveness to Western concerns makes them unlikely to resist disarmament altogether - after all, the current peace deal has been crafted precisely in order to remove the political grievances they cite in order to claim...
...share culpability were not in the dock at the Hague War Crimes Tribunal. Those include not only the leaders of the Bosnian Serbs' murderous campaign but also the international community that assembled the victims on the promise of protection, and then stepped aside and allowed a five-day slaughter they had the means of stopping...
...abandonment of common sense is not an exclusively French problem. But it is disturbing to find the French courts affirming Nazi principles of eugenics. The decision savors of Vichy. The court's logic-which is the true deformity-would encourage wholesale prenatal slaughter. It stigmatizes the handicapped and states, as a principle of law, that they never should have been born. Such children are an error that would, in the utopia toward which the idealism of the law aspires, be eliminated, pre-emptively...
...Davis knows taking on Bush and the Republicans through his rich Houston friends is his only shot to stick around in California - when it's all a painful memory, the governor will need a villain besides himself. Nationwide? Putting aside the new tilt that a Republican slaughter in California would do the House, two-thirds of America believe Bush and Big Energy are in bed together, and cooked up this whole crisis as a moneymaking scheme. If a judge agreed and wrote Davis a $20 billion check? At the very least, it gives the Democrats a nice one-two punch...
