Universal Health Care

HR 676 is the bill cosponsored by Kucinich and Conyers which provides Universal Health Care for all Americans. This is an idea whose time has come.

H.R. 676

From Iraq via the BBC: Hundreds of Thousands of Iraqi Shias Protest US Occupation

I found the following excerpt from this article to be disturbing: "Spokesman Col Steven Boylan (US forces) said: "This is the right to assemble, the right to free speech - they didn't have that under the former regime.""

On the one hand it applauds the protest as an action, on the other it completely ignores the meaning and intention of the protest which is for the US to leave Iraq.

In case you have not seen this article: Earth faces a grim future if global warming isn't slowed, U.N. report says
