The new film "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" makes arguing against wars easy. If you get into a debate about war, just make the points made so clearly in this film, or - better yet - convince a war supporter to watch the film.

The term “sick building syndrome” was coined in the 1970s to describe a phenomenon whereby occupants of a building would become ill without explanation, and then symptoms would appear to decrease or go away altogether once they left the building.

The occupation causes rot, which then penetrates all the pores of the national organism. After 40 years, there is little similarity between the State of Israel as it is today and the state that the founders saw in their mind's eye: a model of social justice, equality and peace.

A City Attorney will recommend to the Community Development/Human Resources Committee of the Atlanta City Council they postpone for two weeks the consideration of the controversial Free Speech Zone (FSZ) ordinance.

I don’t like the idea of seeming to be a vengeful person, someone wishful to relentlessly pursue an adversary. I had promised myself to wait a bit and see how the contradictions between Bush and his European allies would unfold on the vital subject of climate change.

"We might as well spit on the graves of Dr. King and Mrs. King if we allow the right of the citizens to assemble to be curtailed!" Rev. Timothy MacDonald, of the First Iconium Baptist Church, said, as about 50 protesters gathered in front of Atlanta City Hall

There is no free press locally, and by that I mean in the greater Seattle area which can be seen as stretching from Seattle to the East Bay, and southward to Tacoma. My definition of a free press is a newspaper that covers, and gives voice to, all the social and economic classes of people who live in the wider polis.

The Liberal Democratic, Komei, and Democratic parties used their majority at the House of Councilors plenary session on June 1 to enact a Self-Defense Forces Law revision bill to establish the Central Readiness Regiment in the Ground SDF Central Readiness Group that was established late March.

Something is wrong with the United States. I think most of us have noticed it. There is a mortal rot in the country, made manifest by many little rots that are hard to integrate mentally yet are, I think, somehow related. The change is grave, accelerating, probably irreversible, and fascinating.

Colombia is not short of attention in the West, holding the distinction of being the third biggest recipient of U.S. aid in the world. Right now, to President Alvaro Uribe’s invariable great distress, worldwide discussion of his country is almost entirely focused on a semi-covert war.

Personally I don’t think Sen. Sam Brownback from Kansas has much of a chance of getting the GOP presidential nomination in 2008. But you never know. Who would have thought someone of such a low caliber as George Bush would have gotten it in 2000?

Secretary Rice went to the Organization of American States and snarled at Latin America about the Venezuelan government's refusal to renew the license of rogue television station RCTV this past weekend.

The U.S.-backed government has proposed a new law in Iraq that would permit what the oil industry calls “production-sharing agreements” that could put 70 percent of the profits from oil sales in the hands of rich oil companies and leave the Iraqi people with little to run their country.

New Mexico isn't New York or California, but under Richardson's tenure, the state has taken big strides towards equality for LGBT people. After taking office in 2003, Richardson signed both hate crimes and anti-discrimination laws that address sexual orientation and gender identity.

In the United States they tell us a lot of strange stories. They told us about weapons of mass destruction, they told us about the attacks of September 11 in the United States in 2001 which Iraq had nothing to do with.
