I'm fascinated by the more moderate Iran's young model of religious- quasi democratic government. The complete marriage of THE church and state. Its important to be aware of the struggles there- From our dancing friend to the recent clamp down on women seeking education abroad- we can learn.

I feel its my duty as a citizen to guard as best I can the constitutional rights that are being eroded with justifications of God's blessing and the vision of a "compassionate conservativism". Power needs to be checked and rechecked- thats how our republic has found its way. And Ashcroft wields possibly greater power and influence as AG, even after his constituancy decided that he did not represent their views, voting him out of his legislative seat.
