-Editorial: Some Truth About Trade
There's nothing like international trade to help bridge the nation'sideological divide. As Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton travel the RustBelt, the Democratic candidates seem to be eschewing the advice of theireconomic advisers and turning to Karl Rove's playbook.

-Tet Happened, and No One Cared
REALLY, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of themselves forlibeling John McCain. As a growing chorus reiterates, their refrains thatMr. McCain is "willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war inIraq" (as Mr. Obama said) or "willing to keep this war going for 100 years"(per Mrs. Clinton) are flat-out wrong.
