General education distracts from major
By Laura Ellermeyer | Mar. 21, 2011It sometimes seems that high school curricula and “When am I ever gonna use this crap?” go hand in hand. Elective requirements in high school may seem like funny time wasters (I carried a fake baby around for a week and loved every second of it), but as we neared graduation, we looked forward to the end of electives and fixed our gazes on more serious coursework that was actually relevant to a topic and career we chose.

Action in Iraq, Libya fundamentally different
By ADAM LICHTENSTEIN< | Mar. 21, 2011The current military action in Libya is not the same as the Iraq War. Plain and simple. In 2002 and 2003, the United States cooked up a reason to go to war based on faulty intelligence and post-9/11 hysteria. The U.S. went to the U.N., couldn’t get a military resolution, and we invaded Iraq anyway. In Libya’s case, the U.S. and our allies are riding with our allies in NATO on the back of a U.N. Security Council resolution.
