The Making of the Marlboro Man, 2004 By Robert S. McElvaine OpEdNews.com One presidential candidate was a hockey player; the other was a cheerleader.  One is a combat veteran from a war he tried to stop; the other avoided combat in that same war while being a vigorous cheerleader for it.  Yet it is the cheerleader who is seen by many as the "real man."    A remarkably similar gender change was performed on Marlboro cigarettes a half century ago; the same marketing techniques have fooled millions of Americans about their president.

At some point, just like Mr. Bremer, all the Americans will have to retreat from Iraq.

Spain was not attacked randomly. It was apparently attacked for being one of the few nations in the world to support the unnecessary U.S. invasion of Iraq. OpEdNews.Com

Bush and Religion: Anti Christian, Polarizing and Ugly Dr. Gerry Lower The Bush administration has coerced virtually every branch of western Christendom in America back into the fold of Old Testament fundamentalism, the entirety of which is pre-Christian in origin, largely anti-Christian in content and historically anti-Christian in practice. Bush's polarization has driven American Christendom into two diametrically-opposed camps. These two camps are separated entirely by moral ground, those preferring a conservative Old Testament vengeance-based morality and those preferring a liberal New Testament compassion-based ethical morality.

Sending a Progressive Message to the Democratic Convention By Stephen Dinan OpEdNews.com if your main focus is beating Bush, the game has now shifted.  Either of the two leading candidates are fine.  The MAIN danger now is if the progressive wing decides that the two-party system is actually a rigged, one-party system and that the game is stacked against candidates who advocate for peace, sustainability, justice and against the Iraq war, NAFTA and corporate domination of politics.  If cynicism builds, feeding on the disillusionment of Dean backers, it could cost Democrats the election. So your challenge in voting strategically now is NOT to decide between Kerry and Edwards. The challenge in voting strategically is to keep the progressive wing of the party fully engaged.  This is true even if you belong to the Lieberman camp: without the more radical wing of the party, you lose the election.

Whitewash! Bush's WMD Intelligence Probe Designed to Hide, Not Reveal Truth By Rob Kall   OpEdNews.com

No Iraq Intelligence Investigation Needed - Sources Have Already Spoken by Erik P Sorensen  OpEdNews.COM The Bush administration today is expected to announce its reluctant endorsement of an "independent" commission to investigate the intelligence flaws that led the US to believe that Iraq possessed large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and an advanced nuclear capacity. However, in the period before the war many intelligence experts had warned that Iraq did not possess an active weapons' program and that the Bush administration was operating on spurious evidence.

Will We Never Learn? by Allen Snyder OpEdNews.Com Giving BushCo the benefit of the doubt on Iraq was the single biggest abrogation of moral and legal responsibility by Congress and the press I've seen in my lifetime.

Choosing Your Candidate. Are you A Strategic Compromiser or a Burning Flame? by Stephen Dinan A single flame, with patience, can light a million candles. OpEdNews.Com  Strategic compromise often puts different parts of ourselves at odds with each other, which diminishes the amount of life energy we can utilize.  When our heart battles our mind or our soul conflicts with our will, much of our creative magic is locked up rather than extended to the world via our mission.  Strategic compromise leads people to burn out over time because of the lack of alignment. The mentality of strategic compromise contrasts sharply with the mindset that leads to "burning flames."  A burning flame is someone whose body, emotions, heart, mind, and soul are lit up with a purpose, someone who is on fire with a calling.  A burning flame is passionate and purposeful.  A burning flame is love with a mission.
