One liners on Right wing editorials.

Military lesson: Willpower often wins: "There are lessons aplenty in this story for us today. One is that the kindness of American soldiers -- the candy bombers -- can be a national asset. There are many similar stories out of Iraq and Afghanistan, even if today's media, unlike the media of 1948, are not disposed to tell them."

Slight difference - in 1948, the atrocities in Vietnam had not occured, and in Iraq, they don't want us there, and keep telling us that.

America's military power works -- with little thanks

If we had not gone to unnecessary war in Iraq - we might be able to help a few others, especially in our own country - would Guardsman have been useful in New Orleans and Iowa?

Why English still matters: "But such rhetoric obscures the detail that millions of immigrants do not learn English in part because government accommodation makes it unnecessary. Drop by Little Havana sometime and ask for directions."

Isn't this more a government responding to their constituency?

(Although I do believe in immigrants learning English and assimilating. That is the story of the country (yes, excluding native peoples)).
