Staffing the War

by Jonathan Wallace

It might take a half million soldiers or more to secure the cities and the roads, to make travel really safe, to make a meaningful election possible.

Our Conservative Nation by Seymour Schechtman While they would listen to Kerry they would never invite him into their living room. But George Bush was more then welcome anytime.	An Election Post-Mortem by Peter Bearse The really big story of Election‘04 is the way people returned to politics in droves as political actors rather than just spectators.
Reading and Democracy by Peter Bearse A retreat from TV and a return to reading are crucial to the future of American democracy.	Response to a Friend by Bruce A. Clark The leaders of the Democrats will probably move to the right--again-- but that won’t work.
Not Clean, Not Fair by H. Scott Prosterman It doesn't take much to fix an American presidential election these days.	School Vouchers by Michael Spencer Vouchers will considerably increase the per pupil subventions for public school students.
What President Bush Could Be Thinking About Iraq by George Thomas Clark Okay, I deceived you--and myself, too, I guess--to get us into Iraq.	Islands in the Clickstream: The Battle Not to Rage or Despair by Richard Thieme We are seeing the manipulation of the herd by the substitution of symbols and images largely irrelevant to matters at hand.
Moral Victory by Dom Stasi Religion was a part of the beautiful fabric of early America, not its foundation.	Letters To The Ethical Spectacle America has begun an unstoppable spiral into history as just another doomed society.
