World-News

The editors of The Nation write: "As the election drama renewed optimism among voters disgusted with the Bush era, there was an unfortunate side effect: the war in Iraq seemed to disappear from the headlines. Perhaps it was public exhaustion over a war that is nearing the end of its fifth year, or the unwillingness of Democratic leaders and candidates to keep pressing their call for an end to the occupation.... Meanwhile, Democrats were slow to confront another conflagration--the tottering economy. We now face the prospect of an election-year recession on top of a disastrous and costly war. Some voters feel that one or the other crisis demands the higher priority: the war or the rapidly deteriorating economy. We believe both are top priorities."
