JOHN KERRY AND JESUS:  —  Continuing his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, John F. Kerry addressed (by telephone) a conference convened by that racist hustler and prevaricator Al Sharpton who won, if I'm not mistaken, exactly one delegate at the party convention in 2004.

Recipe for disaster  —  Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, insists on proving that he can't be trusted.  He made his political debut in 1970, joining the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, then accused American troops of war crimes in Vietnam — and tried to deny he had done so.
Garry Wills / New York Times:
Christ Among the Partisans  —  THERE is no such thing as a "Christian politics."  If it is a politics, it cannot be Christian.  Jesus told Pilate: "My reign is not of this present order.  If my reign were of this present order, my supporters would have fought against my being turned over to the Jews.

"Christianism": A Defense  —  Some readers have objected to my attempt to coin a new word to describe those who would deploy the teachings of Jesus as a political ideology as "Christianists."  They don't like the analogy to Islamists, and think it imputes to politicized Christians an endorsement of terror or violence.

"Why I Think Rumsfeld Must Go"  —  A military insider sounds off against the war and the "zealots" who pushed it … In 1971, the rock group The Who released the antiwar anthem Won't Get Fooled Again.  To most in my generation, the song conveyed a sense of betrayal by the nation's leaders …

No easy answers on immigration conundrum  —  Here's my immigration "compromise": We need to regularize the situation of the 298 million non-undocumented residents of the United States.  Right now, we get a lousy deal compared with the 15 million fine upstanding members of the Undocumented American community.

CALL TO DUTY  —  In a Community Where Many Roads Lead to the Military, Deciding Whether to Enlist Becomes a Turning Point  —  Blake Johnson is almost 18.  Tan and muscular, he plays third base for the Clarkdale High School Bulldogs.  He is a B student who says "Yes, sir" when his coach corrects his batting stance.

DOES IRAN WANT WAR  —  April 9, 2006 — THE most dangerous error we could make in our sharpening confronta tion with Iran is to con vince ourselves that its leaders will act rationally.  Few wars are rooted in dispassionate analysis.  Self-delusion sparks most such catastrophes.
