Canadians View America as Nutty Relative Who's Gone Berserknew
Over two weeks in Canada and the Adirondacks in upstate New York, I asked 104 Canadians and 51 Americans: "What do you think of Bush and the Iraq War?" Ninety of the Canadians and 42 Americans disapproved of the war. A slightly smaller number disliked Bush.

Who You Callin' Sovereign?new
George Bush’s “return of sovereignty” to Iraq’s U.S.-appointed puppet government this week is no such thing. What’s to come may be far worse than the senseless carnage we have seen so far, as the Great Deception of the Iraq War goes on.

Ronald Reagan Destroyed America's Sense of Realitynew
