Commentary
Opinion: "They didn't know what might happen from this dangerous gambit, and they knew they didn't know. Yet Bush, faced with a stinker of an economic situation, is seeking re-election today based largely on his stewardship of security matters. It is a sign of the depraved state of statesmanship in our republic that he can do so with some confidence in his chances."
Editorial: "A new opinion poll timed to the one-year anniversary of the U.S. occupation of Iraq this week revealed that many European and Muslim countries traditionally allied with the United States now harbor an increasingly negative view of the Bush administration's foreign policies. The disenchantment even extends to Britain, the U.S. government's strongest wartime ally, where half of those surveyed said the war in Iraq actually hurts efforts to combat global terrorism."
