Unfortunately, war looks likely for the near future. All anti-war sentiment aside, there is just one small problem with the push for war: it will violate international law.

It’s funny because the main reason given by the Bush administration for war is that Saddam Hussein has violated international law, specifically U. […]

In one of my courses a few weeks ago, (Eat, Drink, Man, Woman), we were talking about what we were giving up for Lent. One student said she was giving up chocolate, another said she was giving up candy altogether. The whole time, I was thinking, “Shit, Lent is this Wednesday? What food am I going to give up this year?” I automatically thought about giving up food, nothing else immediately came to mind as something worth sacrificing. […]

At the domestic level, one of the most significant training and recruitment centers for leftist activism against the war in Iraq can be found on the campuses of American universities.

Student organizations, as well as professors, in hotbeds of political activism, such as University of California at Berkeley, Smith College in Massachusetts and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have challenged the Bush administration over its uncompromising resolve requiring Saddam Hussein to comply with U. […]

The current political, social, cultural and international environment is one of such complexity, such importance, that it is deserving of every individual’s undivided attention.

Of all the things I’ve encountered at college, the apathy of students is the most frustrating. […]

It’s become cool to hate on the French, hasn’t it?

Humor Web sites have “The French Art of Surrendering” desktop wallpaper for download, sporting a classic shot of Hitler in front of the Eiffel Tower, among others. Certain restaurants are dropping the “French” from their fries, calling them “freedom fries” or other similarly saccharine displays of “patriotism. […]

Although the strife within Israel has been overshadowed in the last couple of months due to media focus on Iraq, I predict that certain factors will cause issues involving Israel to surface in the near future. Groups on both sides, Zionist and anti-Zionist, will relate the conflict with Iraq to their own views on Israel. […]

I love Madonna, let’s put it out on the table. I love the music, the image, the woman, the movies, (well, maybe not the movies), but I really admire her.

I know most of you have found yourself humming a song by Sting at one time or another. You know you have sung, “Roxanne, you don’t have to put on the red light … Roxanne,” or “Goo goo goo, a da da da, is all I want to say to you.” I have to admit that I probably do so a little more than the average person.
