...London bombings were another??useless attempt by the losing side in the war on terrorism to spread fear in the West [July 18]. You would think that after the retaliation for 9/11--which resulted in the overthrow of regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq--the terrorists would have learned their lesson. The mindless acts of random violence against innocent civilians indicate the terrorists' desperation. Freedom will always prevail...
To my utter dismay, Bush is in for another??term, confirming the opinion of those of us in the Third World that terrorism scares Americans so much that they have lost the ability to reason.

It makes them think twice...
...Nixon's display of Olympian unconcern a wise course? To some, it seemed that the President was once again showing an unwillingness to follow through on major decisions. Through his presidency, they argued, Nixon has sounded the trumpet on one program after another???welfare reform, the governmental reorganization of his "New American Revolution," revenue sharing?and then lost interest in making them work. To engineer a turnaround of the U.S. economy, his critics charge, Nixon must forsake the security of the television screen and reassure doubters in person...
