This is, of course, an editorial, full of assumptions and statement telling us what "Washington" is thinking. there are powerful interests in Washington who want to nullify Iran. Iran is also the only nation which stands in the way of total control of the region by the US now that we have subdued and are occupying Iraq.

The story just gives us facts about the arms sales, but doesn't touch the implcations to both the US and the world. However, one needs the facts if one is to discuss the implications, coasts, and policies to which these facts lead.

A well written and very subtle defence of Cheney, giving a short account of charges and then long defenses by Cheney relying on the tried and true justification, used down through history including bu the Japanese who waterboarded Americans and were prosecuted, - National defense, security., thus leaving the reader with a definite bias for Cheney.

There is little "reason" involved in this article.

No. It quotes the Republican without ever commenting on the validity or logic of what they are quoting

While well written interms of style, this is not quality journalism. certain facts and elements of the problem are gathered and arranged to arrive at an already determined conclusion.

It goes beyond merely quoting both sides to a more indepth investigation of those involved in the medical debate

The writer uses the classic rhetorical technique of setting forth the arguments against public medicine and then refuting them.

No. Purely a hatchet job. It is a FACT that Medicare administrative costs are less than the insurance companies. Of course public health care would be expensive -- health care is expensive

The interviewers go to an authority on the subject who has collected the facts and statistics. They let the interviewee tell the story.

The story fails to dig below the obvious. Takes opinions without questioning them. concentrates on the numbers not the reality

Well written with strong central point which is well developed and exampled

A real accumulation of facts with a little bit of inuendo.

An opinion piece that has logical consistency and emotional appeal. Pa;in was a purely political choice and an insult to the average American woman.

A good lay out of the two approaches. Universal health care would still be in the rational way to go about the problem. By the way John McCain spent his whole life in socialized medicine.

The biggest flaw is the story's unquestioning asumption of the Isreali right to bomb any one it sees as an enemy. If Israel has the right of atomic bombs for defense, Why not Iran ? Would Iran be stupid enough to drop an atomic bom on Israel and thus be obliterated by both Israel and the US ?

The article makes some rather large assumptions about Iraq and states them as though they are obvious--which they are not. for instnace that the occupation of a country leads to stability ??
