...Bush has already achieved his main objective in invading Iraq. He formed a U.S.-style democracy that will serve as a role model for all nations in the Middle East. Members of the Iraqi Parliament have in a relatively short time acquired the necessary skills for political success: constant partisan bickering, numerous vacations, a short workweek, regular salary increases and no accomplishments.

After today's bomb, the department of public safety sent a general alert to all police departments. Security was reinforced at all levels, especially around the Zocalo or main plaza, the international airport and the Pemex installations just outside Oaxaca city. Nevertheless, despite the increase in police and army forces, a demonstration by 200 women in support of the left-wing political opposition group APPO (Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca or Popular People's Assembly of Oaxaca) took place as scheduled. As the elections approached, there have been daily marches, loud public denunciations of the state and federal...
