1. Iran has threatened to fight back if attacked, and that’s a war crime. War crimes must be punished.

3. Iraq didn’t go so badly. Considering how lousy its government is, the place is better off with so

Twelve students at the University of Virginia on Saturday began a hunger strike for a living wage policy for university employees. They’ve taken this step after having exhausted just about every other possible approach over a period of 14 years. I was part of the campaign way back when it started. I can support the assertion made by hunger-striking student A.J. Chandra on Saturday, who said,

I’ll tell you who did this below. First read part his rather unusual letter:
“I have transferred to you as trustees $231 million in bonds, the revenue of which is to be administered by you to hasten the abolition of international war, the foulest blot upon our civilization.
