Although President Hosni Mubarak does enjoy general support, the strong, outlawed Muslim Brotherhood poses a serious threat if an open election were to be held. Members of the Brotherhood have run as independents on the platform that “Islam is the Solution.” While such an assertion is not troubling in itself, as Islam does indeed offer many positive moral lessons, many of the tools of the organization are troubling. The Brotherhood claims to have divorced itself from violence, but reporting by journalists for Newsweek and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) shows that despite their...
...Saddam Hussein had WMDs the Kurdish chemical weapons episode of 1988 was brought up again and again fifteen years later. Interestingly, the US blamed Iran for the gas in 1988 and never condemned Iraq until months before the invasion. Such old and isolated instances were revisited to exaggerate the threat while the past few relatively quiet years in Iraq were ignored completely. In addition, links were made between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, leading to the unsubstantiated claim that Saddam Hussein was somewhat responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

The declaration commends government action but makes no specific policy recommendations, such as a cap on greenhouse gas emissions. But, most importantly, given its target readership, it argues that stewardship of the planet is just as Biblical as the other...
...question now is how that threat will be kept under control. American troop levels in Baghdad and the rest of Iraq will return this year to about the same level as 2006 - the year that saw the worst of the country's sectarian violence. Helping to fill that void, supposedly, will be former members of the Sunni insurgency: thousands have become U.S.-paid counter-insurgents and, in some cases, members of the Iraqi government security forces. Unlike the mostly Shi'ite Iraqi army and police, these Sunnis have credibility in their towns and neighborhoods and have proven effective in fighting...
