Ron Paul, Rock Starnew
Paul is to the GOP what Howard Dean was to the Democrats back in 2003 -- only bigger, and so far minus the Iowa shriek.

Does the Bush Administration Have Cold Feet on Iran?new
We are told that Iran is supporting the anti-American insurgency in Iraq -- if they're that keen to attack Iran, why don't Bush and Cheney use the fact that Iranian artillery shells are falling on Kurdish villages in northern Iraq almost every day as a pretext for the attack?

Sanctions Don't Work In a Global Economynew
Other than substituting empty gestures for real action and appeasing domestic lobbies, I really don't see what good sanctions do. It's no longer 1945.

Strange Bedfellows, United in Fear of Mike Huckabeenew
Now that Huckabee has gained ground, pushback from Republican opponents has begun.

With the George Bush experience in 2000 as a guide, however, that's a mighty big "if."
