Supreme Justice O'Connor Resigns and Leaves Legacy As Key Swing Vote For this Fourth of July weekend, we are left to ponder the future direction of the SCOTUS (and gear up for some major fights for the future of America). It seems W will get to appoint at least two justices now that Sandra O'Connor has resigned and Renquist is expected to at any time.

Instability follows final round of Lebanon elections The continuing instability of Lebanon was highlighted when, only two days after the fourth and final round of the parliamentary election, George Hawi, former leader of the Lebanese Communist Party, was blown up by a car bomb. The blast was virtually identical to one that killed journalist Samir Kassir some two weeks earlier. Kassir was a leader of the Democratic Left, a breakaway from the Communist Party. Both men were active in the anti-Syrian alliance that won a majority in the election, le...

Pretoria and… Washington? I have thought for a while now that the relationship the Bush administration (and perhaps a wider portion of the US political elite) seeks to have with the rest of the world is very similar to the relationship the white-minority regime in South Africa had with the country's non-white citizens during the days of apartheid. I realize this is not a perfect analogy. But there are enough parallels in these two relationships to make it an interesting one to explore....
