  1. RE: “Terror Tax” I feel that while the war in Iraq is a mistake, the war on Terror will never be won and this Lieberman is a Red in a Blue Tie, this is very very good news. Finally our leaders are seeing that we can’t have guns and butter.
    While I am sure that the burden of this tax will fall to the poor, along with the burden of fighting the war, at least we are seeing so sort of fiscal responsibility being discussed. Mobius is right about auditing war profiteers, but this tax is a start. Got to pay for what you spend.

  2. “Sixty-seven percent of [3,850 people in six Arab countries] said the United States could improve its image by brokering a comprehensive Middle East peace agreement.”
    I would like to know what percentage of this 67 percent believe “comprehensive Middle East peace” means the total dismantling of Israel.
    I’m betting 87 percent.
