I was wrong - As a minister and due to my personal convictions I have always been against war for any and all reasons… As far as I can tell I was the only person including the media, Human Shields and others in Iraq without a Government `minder` there to guard…. I wept with family members as I shared their pain and with great difficulty and deep soul searching began little by little to understand their desire for war to finally rid them of the nightmare they were living in…. From a former member of the Army to a person working with the police to taxi drivers to store owners to mothers to government officials without exception when allowed to speak freely the message was the same - `Please bring on the war. We are ready. We have suffered long enough. We may lose our lives but some of us will survive and for our children's sake please, please end our misery. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2631

Democrats plan to stop all Bush judicial nominees - It is not clear whether the new Democratic across-the-board blockade will ultimately succeed (although it is certainly succeeding at the moment). And it is true that the White House has other things to worry about now. But if the president wants to place judges on the federal courts of appeals, he will eventually have to engage Democrats in political battle — the only thing that can break the current stalemate. http://www.nationalreview.com/script/printpage.asp?ref=/york/york040303.asp

THE UNITED NATIONS is slated to receive a $90 million increase in annual dues from the United States next year despite the Security Council’s refusal to enforce its own resolutions on Saddam Hussein. http://www.humaneventsonline.com/articles/04-07-03/gizzi.htm

The sin of “sin taxes” - Government financing should be just that: government financing. Taxation is not a proper venue for government officials to engage in half-baked social engineering programs. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2610

The Grand Fraud Part 1:  Affirmative Action for Blacks Thomas Sowell

http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2637 and Part 2: Affirmative Action for Women –  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2639 and Part 3: disparate impact theory is like the emperor who has no clothes. Everybody knows he has no clothes. But they have to pretend that he does. Otherwise, the whole system is in jeopardy.

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20030404.shtml and part 4: In reality, affirmative action increases the chance that a minority student will fail where the standards are higher, instead of succeeding where the standards are at a level that matches the student's academic capabilities.  http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20030403.shtml

Marching With the Moral Superiority of Western Values - It's the difference between hiding behind women and children and doing everything to avoid harming them, between random missile attacks and precision weapons, between executing prisoners and treating them humanely, between faking surrenders and accepting them, between transparent government lies and vigorous, open self-criticism, between setting oil wells on fire and putting them out.http://www.townhall.com/columnists/richlowry/rl20030404.shtml

Random Thoughts of Thomas Sowell - If CBS had had Dan Rather during World War II, instead of Edward R. Murrow, perhaps it could have broadcast an interview with Adolf Hitler, who would have explained how he had been misunderstood and how he and FDR should debate their differences publicly instead of having all those troops landing at Normandy. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2587

The Truth About D.A.R.E…if one is to gauge success by actual results, then America's most pervasive and expensive youth drug education program is (and always has been) a gigantic and incontrovertible flop. … Like a junkie, D.A.R.E. is addicted to the money, and will do whatever it takes to get it.   http://www.mises.org/fullstory.asp?control=1188

Solving America’s public school crisis – transcript of Independent Institute forum -  when you’re riding a dead horse, what should you do? Get off. We don’t do that in public education. .. "Look what you can buy in the private sector for $8,000 for a child per year." That’s what we’re spending nationally…. end the discrimination against private school users. Treat them the same. They paid into the system just like anybody else. Their children are entitled to a share of the money, just like anybody else did. http://www.independent.org/tii/forums/030220ipfTrans.html

Smithsonian says slavery in Africa was not dehumanizing but slavery in America was – “Slavery had existed in Africa as it had in other parts of the world, for centuries, but it was not based on race and it did not result in dehumanization and death, as did transatlantic slavery,"  Huh?  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2543

A challenge to Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA) in which interest on your money is used by state bar associations to fund their favorite causes http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2628

Smashing windows for peace - The goal of the protestors is to impose their anti-war tirades on a public that does not agree with them, and to do so by forcibly disrupting the lives of commuters, office workers, government officials and political opponents. They spread their message not through persuasion, but by blocking roadways, shutting down classes, besieging office buildings, smashing property. So much for their alleged goals of peace and brotherhood. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2616
