Given her history, it looks like she’s going against her beliefs to preserve her political viability. This may indicate that the majority of New York State voters want to disarm Iraq.

If the action to disarm Saddam is successful this stance could make her the front runner in the 2004 Democratic presidential race because she can claim to be “patriotic”

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "fully supports" President Bush's Iraq policy, her office said last night - on the eve of her visit today to an upstate arsenal that makes military hardware like mortars and howitzers for U.S. troops.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "fully supports" President Bush's Iraq policy, her office said last night - on the eve of her visit today to an upstate arsenal that makes military hardware like mortars and howitzers for U.S. troops. "Sen. Clinton fully supports the steps the president has taken to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction," said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines.

That puts Clinton (D-N.Y.) squarely at odds with a majority in her own party, where one recent poll found an Iraq attack is opposed by 66 percent of "core Democrats."

A series of readings of Aristophanes' anti-war comedy Lysistrata is being held in more than 900 venues in 56 countries on Monday, say the organisers.

Richard Wilson, Joseph Fiennes and Lindsay Duncan were among 300 people who wore Greek-style masks to stage a three-minute silence in London's Parliament Square, before reading an extract from the play.

Aristophanes set the work in ancient Greece, where women withhold sex until the men agree to outlaw war.

Organisers have described the Lysistrata Project as the biggest act of dissent ever made in the theatre world.

It was first thought of in New York in early January by two actresses, Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower.

Blume was working on a modern adaptation of Lysistrata as a screenplay, when she heard about a group called Theaters Against War.

They were urging theatre companies to put an anti-war statement in their programmes or make a curtain speech against war.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It's Friday evening in this city of 78,000 that's home to the University of Alabama. On the tree-lined residential street where they live, university students Chris Smith, 22, and Jayson Perkinson, 21, are sipping bloody marys and expressing their extreme displeasure over a crackdown by the city.

This sounds a lot like the Soviet “disinformation” technique. This involved the Soviets getting a sympathetic Western publisher to publish a story favorable to them and then publishing news of it in their own press, from which it could be disseminated to the world.

LONDON — A British Sunday newspaper reported yesterday that the United States is waging a "secret" campaign to eavesdrop on U.N. Security Council delegations in New York in its battle to win votes in favor of war against Iraq.

The London Observer said it had obtained a memo describing what it called a "dirty tricks" surveillance operation that involves interception of the home and office telephone calls and the e-mail of U.N. delegates.

However, the authenticity of the memorandum was called into question and it was not clear from the text published by the newspaper that "secret" surveillance, interception of telephone calls and e-mail, or other extraordinary measures were suggested.

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments were intended to limit the federal government to power in national matters, with other powers being reserved for the states. XXX

Liberals have their pantheon of presidents, established by the New Deal historians. "Great presidents," in their view, are those who expand the size and scope of the federal government in the interest of the masses against the interests of the classes. By this criterion Franklin Roosevelt is one of the greatest presidents, in a line that includes Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Wilson.
