Well, I sent out a response to the SPJ-L listserv to the one I made below, prompting a number of irrelevant responses. One person responded that the operation in Kosovo was a NATO operation -- "totally within Europe, was not UN." And this is relevant how? Clinton went to war without U.N. approval. NATO is […]
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said that Canadian forces would not fight in a war with Iraq. We're going to miss them -- all 30 of them.

It's now mostly a right-bashing club, with a lone conservative (who's not even a journalist) presenting himself as a whipping boy for a bunch of leftists, from America and […]

(AP) -- President Bill Clinton, in a hastily-called address to a joint session of Congress, sought congressional authorization for a war against Afghanistan. The president told Congress the Taliban government is providing aid and comfort to Osama […]
Is scheduled to appear on "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight. Let's hope that Bill confronts him with this little tidbit from today's Wall Street Journal. Actor Mike Farrell, best known for his role as Trapper John's replacement in "M*A*S*H," has emerged as a leading antiwar activist. This month, he even engaged in a surreal debate on […]
