...never sounds right—particularly when military families are more likely than the general public to support both the war and the President. At least in theory, veterans get to talk trash about the Commander in Chief without being accused of attacking the troops (although I know some swift boat veterans who might disagree on this one). And when veterans start criticizing the war and the President, it makes it easier for the rest...
...strange way, the near calamity last week brought the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships closer together. Netanyahu was quick to phone Arafat, to condemn Friedman's act in strong terms and wish the victims a swift recovery.

Those who would choose a rule of man rather than the rule of law must not escape fitting penalty. Again, the lack of adequate resources to support an overburdened criminal justice system looms as a reality. Punishment may come swift and sure in the Fort Worth slayings case because of their notoriety. But we cannot forget the other cases crying for justice languishing in courts throughout Texas and the nation...
