by Mike Wolff Daily Lobo Columnist The time is coming when our mighty army of God will invade Iraq. Its ultimate leader, George W. Bush, perhaps feels so divinely inspired (and legally able) to do so even without the approval of Congress, and much less of that of the confused American people.

by Ashley Wheeland U-Wire What does it mean to be a woman? It means shaving legs. It means talking to friends. It means nights out on the town. Much later for me it will mean weddings and baby showers. Being a woman today also means watching out for your own safety.

Why, one wonders, are various conservatives and other voices of the political right seemingly driven to drawing up enemy lines? In the late 1940s, they produced blacklists of men and women in Hollywood and the media whom the right charged with being Communists or sympathizers. In 1950, Sen. Joseph McCarthy came up with his famous (but nonexistent) list of 205 names "known to the secretary of state as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department."
Not surprisingly, it is difficult to see much good coming out of the events of Sept. 11, 2001. It is suggested that the attacks "brought America together," but the image of New York police and fireman at ground zero throwing punches at one another a month after the attack might suggest otherwise. If there is any new national unity, it is certainly not the bond of common purpose and sacrifice that characterized World War II, but rather a superficial one of flags and xenophobia. Those of us who are critics of the government or are of Middle Eastern origin have experienced America coming together all right - to attempt to silence or arrest us.
