November 6, 2006 issue

add to cart   close window

An editorial is presented discussing the impact of the Iraq War on the 2006 midterm elections. In 2002, the late Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone was among the few to vote against the U. S. invasion of Iraq. Now, with public opinion against the war and studies showing that continued U. S. presence is adding to the violence, a number of candidates are calling for troop withdrawal. Among these are Maryland's John Sarbanes, Wisconsin's Rae Vogeler and Connecticut's Ned Lamont.
