...raise duties on tobacco and alcohol have already been scrapped. And Arroyo is now expected to deliver on a raft of expensive campaign promises that, politically, she can't afford to drop. Add an unresolved terrorism threat and the possibility of another "People Power" revolt, and you might wonder why anyone would fight for the presidency. "I feel sorrier for the winner than for the loser," says Asiri Abubakar of the University of the Philippines...
...image of an Abu Ghraib prisoner with that of the Statue of Liberty. That picture showed the true extent of the damage that has occurred. The very people who came to liberate the Iraqis have treated them in ways that are similar to Saddam Hussein's. It makes one wonder whether the American forces have overstayed their welcome and whether it's time to hand over the country to the Iraqis?and to a leader who is not just a puppet in American hands.

His book and attendant commentary seem calculated to reopen old wounds. One wonders how Clinton reacted to the funeral of Ronald Reagan, another optimistic small-town son of a drunk, who served two full terms as President...
...disagree with the experts who blame obesity on everything from our caveman mentality to our survival instinct. We didn't evolve into tubs of lard in one generation. For too long we've been feeding our kids prepackaged garbage instead of meals. It is no wonder we are fat. Instead of relying on the false promises of every fad and unhealthy diet out there, I suggest Americans stick to eating in moderation and exercising regularly. TIM J. WATT Harpswell, Maine...
