OPINION

The war in Iraq, the peace-keeping in Iraq, and the nation building in Iraq are all issues the Bush Administration assured the American public would be morally right, economically sound, and feasible in their execution. The actual war, ending just over a year ago according to the Administration, was a historical victory in its speed and efficiency. The peacekeeping and nation building, however, are proving to be dangerous, costly, and appear to have been grossly underestimated by the Administration. more>>

With the worst behind it, the Met looks forward
by Travis Combs
The Metropolitan
Twenty-five-years-old. Youth's lingering influence seems quaint, familiar and comforting. Yet its influence, while still very strong, is waning. Eyes must be turned to look at the joys and sorrows of the adult life. A new life filled with careers, mortgages and possibly a significant other with children. The fickle trend of the young takes less and less precedence with almost every passing day. The ongoing surveillance of the last ten years by the teenage F.B.I. is passing. The youth patrol's interest is fading as is one's interest in youth. more>>
