Autocratic governments from China to Uzbekistan, fearful of the spread of street protests, have cracked down on the type of nonprofit, activist groups that played a key role in Ukraine's about-face to democracy.

Since then, she has grieved for her son but found solace by holding marches against gun violence in her East New York neighborhood and comforting other parents whose children are killed. Full Story Top Stampede Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:01 am PST The Weekly Standard - ALMOST EXACTLY one year ago, President Bush was reelected with more votes than had ever been cast for a presidential candidate, breaking Ronald Reagan's 1984 record. Not only did Bush sweep to victory by a three million vote margin, the Republicans increased their majorities in both the House and the Senate, the first time this trifecta had been accomplished since the Lyndon Johnson landslide of 1964. Full Story Top Pelosi Sides With Murtha For Withdrawal Wed, 30 Nov 2005 05:33 pm PST The Nation - The Nation -- The big news on any day when President Bush delivers a "major address" regarding Iraq is never what the commander-in-chief says. Bush has been on autopilot for so long now that he does not even bother to say anything new -- even when he is supposedly laying out a strategy for "victory."

Buckley - The mills have been grinding feverishly in the matter of Iraq. They have, for the most part, dealt with questions having to do with our entering the war, but these have led to promptings of different kinds on how to get away from Iraq. Full Story Top WE LIKE YOU! WE REALLY, REALLY LIKE YOU! Wed, 30 Nov 2005 05:11 pm PST Ann Coulter - When Democratic Rep. John Murtha called for the withdrawal of American troops in the middle of the war, Republicans immediately leapt to action by calling Murtha a war hero, a patriot and a great American. Full Story Top SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, NOT OUR PRESIDENT Tue, 22 Nov 2005 03:43 pm PST Richard Reeves - LOS ANGELES -- President Bush and his bodyguards, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld, have had a busy week denouncing critics of the war as "irresponsible ... reprehensible ... dishonest ... hypocritical." The idea behind that polysyllabic barrage is that not supporting our only president and the troops he has sent into harm's way in Iraq is a monstrous lack of patriotism. Full Story Top BUSH UNWILLING TO REIN IN THE RACISTS IN HIS RANKS Sat, 26 Nov 2005 05:12 pm PST Cynthia Tucker - Among black Americans, President Bush's approval ratings are hovering near the negatives. So it probably won't make much difference to black voters that the president's appointees at the U.S. Justice Department approved a racially charged voter ID law that was the brainchild of Georgia Republicans. Black Americans have already written off the White House.

It's happening throughout the country, it's affecting how America looks at itself and at the world, and before long, it will almost certainly affect how America behaves in the world. Full Story Top RUSSIA TAKES ANOTHER STEP TOWARD SOVIET-STYLE CONTROL Mon, 28 Nov 2005 05:11 pm PST Georgia Anne Geyer - WASHINGTON -- When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the Western world breathed multiple sighs of relief. Not only was the Cold War over, but the West had clearly won the ideological fight -- Russia would now have to adopt democratic and free-market principles. Full Story Top ANTI-BUSH REPORTING IGNORES LARGER ISSUES AT STAKE Sun, 27 Nov 2005 05:33 pm PST John Leo - In a burst of anti-war triumphalism, Harold Meyerson of The Washington Post wrote last week that President Bush and the Bushies have run out of "elitists whom they can demonize." Hmmm. That is a problem. Where will we find the punching bags of tomorrow? Wait! I have it. How about the elite news media? Will they do? Full Story Top OF SISTERS AND LIVERS Sun, 27 Nov 2005 05:33 pm PST Randy Cohen - After years away, my estranged sister reappeared, told me she has serious liver problems, including cirrhosis, and asked me to be tested as a possible organ donor: She wants a portion of my liver. I do not want to mutilate my body for someone with no respect for hers. Every memory of our lives together is sad and terrifying, but still I feel selfish and guilty. Must I submit to these tests? -- S.H., Baltimore Full Story Top Midshipmen Anticipate Bush Speech in Annapolis Wed, 30 Nov 2005 04:11 pm PST Wonkette - "Midshipmen catch naps as they wait for more than an hour for U.S. President George W.
