This story about the Perry family in California just goes to show that remembering our veterans and reaching across cultures to mend countries doesn't require a federal holiday.

The war in Iraq is really being sold as The War to Forget War, a war of corporations, a war between brands, a battle between Quisp and Quake; it is war as a game, war as a tactic, war as a ploy.

Addressing Israeli lawmakers last week, Bush slandered a giant of the U.S. Senate: William E. Borah. The six-term Republican senator from Idaho cannot hit back against Bush's smear -- he's been dead since 1940.

You can't look in the face of every zealot, every enemy and see Hitler's ghost. Hitler's dead. Osama lives. Adapt and learn how to deal with the men and the madness that exists today.

With a single speech last week, Barack Obama showed he is no John Kerry. He will fight back immediately against scurrilous charges with reason and fact, not empty rhetoric.

Some may think they know about the Berlin Airlift, Truman's "give 'em hell" campaign, and the death of James Forrestal. But I guarantee you that much of what you think you know is wrong.

My Swiss-German world did not promote cross-cultural values -- most of my schoolmates looked pretty much like me. But something was different about the way my parents raised me.

When I first read that Sarkozy wanted every French fifth-grader to learn about a child-victim of the Holocaust, I immediately thought, oh no.

This administration has done little to confront the looming danger that our consumption of fossil fuels presents to the nation's environment, economy and national security.

I am not now equating dropping atom bombs on Japanese cities with the Holocaust in Germany in WW2. That's not my point. My Banality of Evil file is more capacious than that.

On Oct. 5, 1947, President Harry S. Truman gave a speech to the nation that was -- for the first time in history -- broadcast live on television. What the president said that night was truly remarkable, especially in the context of today.

Does anyone else find it ironic that on PBS tonight, Ken Burns' film documenting the great sacrifices of freedom in WWII will have the words of the very men who fought for it edited out?
