Americans might be honoring the dead from U.S. wars, but in no case did any of those dead whom we memorialize today die for "our freedom." They died, instead, because our political classes pointedly understand that promoting war is good for them.

I have been thinking a great deal of late about government and its relationship to the citizenry. It should be obvious that any government that claims to be of the people and for the people must also serve the people. Yet it is clear that the current government does not serve the people-it exploits them

Religion is used to explain terror attacks as part of a cosmic conflict between Good and Evil rather than in terms of political processes. Fundamentalism and democracy are completely antithetical when the former attempt to engage the machinery of the state to further its parochial biblical world view.

"What we are doing in Iraq is policing an intractable civil war," Reid said to the press, as Sens. John Kerry, Joe Biden and others stood beside him. "We are now an occupying force," Reid said grimly. "The United States an 'occupying force,' it's hard for me to say those words."

An Air Force drill sergeant and former Iowa National Guard member who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been removed from active duty, she said Wednesday. Whether that amounts to an honorable discharge, as Michelle Manhart also says, is unclear.

Tracy O'Connor, 34, a retail manager, called the police response "silly and insane," contrasting it with that in other cities where no one reported concerns about the devices - an advertising gimmick for the Cartoon Network show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." "We're the laughingstock," she said.

The main annual conference of the American Astronomical Society began this morning, and it didn't take long to roll into action. In one of the very first sessions, a scientist described some startling hints of a fifth force of nature, on top of the Fab Four: electromagnetism, gravity, and the two forces that govern atomic nuclei.
