Climbing off the real estate grid
By Melinda Pillsbury-Foster
There was a time when a home was a place to live, a
place where you raised your family, a place to grow your garden, plant your
flowers and watch your fruit trees grow to full maturity so you could eat the
fruit they would bear during their lifetime.

If you saw something, and said something, thanks!
By Jerry Mazza
In my article, If you see something,
say something, which is the theme line for the New York City
Metropolitan Transit Authority�s advertising to get subway riders to keep a
steady eye out for "terrorists" and lonely black bags with bombs in
them, I gave you a rundown of what I saw, not just in New York, but around the
world with the Bush gang. But there�s more.

Alberto Gonzales and the coup against democracy
By Ramzy Baroud
The name of Alberto Gonzales is rapidly becoming
synonymous with all that has gone wrong under the Bush administration. Repeated
media discussions of the US attorney general in the most contentious tones have
served to lay the blame for all the ailments that infected American democracy
under Bush squarely on one man's shoulders.

Antiwar voices aren�t necessarily pro-peace
By Bruce Tanosborn
In most countries that come to mind, there seems to be
a very strong direct correlation between being antiwar and being pro-peace. Not
in the United States.

Return of the robber barons

As the Bush Regime outfits B-2 stealth bombers with 30,000
pound monster "bunker buster" bombs for its coming attack on
Iran, the US economy continues its 21st century decline. While profits soar for
the armaments industry, the American people continue to take it on the chin.

A metallurgist�s insights into the Minneapolis bridge disaster
By Joel S. Hirschhorn
The incredible collapse of the Minneapolis
bridge will send a message to the nation that has been repeatedly sent for
decades, but to which our political system has refused to effectively respond.
America�s physical, engineered infrastructure has been in desperate need for
massive spending to repair and replace, but the multi-trillion-dollar cost has
been rejected by local, state and federal politicians.

Converging interests in Iraq allow Bush an �Iranian option� -- Arabs threatened
By Nicola Nasser
Converging U.S.-Iran interests in Iraq are creating a common ground for
an �Iranian option� for President George W. Bush that could be developed into
an historical foreign policy breakthrough of the kind he has been yearning for
in the Arab- Israeli conflict or India; however several factors are ruling out
this window of opportunity, including his militarization of U.S. foreign
policy, obsession with �regime changes� overseas, his insistence on exploiting
to the maximum his country�s emergence as the only world superpower in the
aftermath of the collapse of the former Soviet Union (USSR), an Iranian
independent regional agenda that so far cold not be reconciled with his own,
and a detrimental Arab feeling of insecurity of such a potentiality.

Un-American intimidation tactics shall not silence Muslims
By Ahmad Al-Akhras
In the short yet painful period of Senator Joseph
McCarthy�s prominence, he accused people who disagreed with his views of being
Communists and many were ostracized in society. People became afraid to
challenge him, fearing for their reputations and livelihoods.

Why is Bush wooing the Arab world?
By Linda S. Heard
There's an old expression that goes "Beware of
Greeks bearing gifts." which has its origins in Virgil's rendition of the
Trojan horse legend. Another translation reads "Trust not their presents,

"Borat�s" rage masked as laughter
By Jerry Mazza
Two faces are at work in the political �mockumentary� Borat: Cultural
Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
One is the British comedian/writer Sacha Baron Cohen, who is Jewish and
also a graduate of Christ�s College at Cambridge. Then there�s the grinning
idiot Cohen plays, the Kazakhstani journalist, Borat, who will set out from his
squalid village, his prostitute sister whom he�s �inside of,� his stone-age
neighbors, rapists, abortionists, dabblers in incest, to find out all about
America, providing us with a bag of belly-turning laughs.
