Three years into the war, tens of thousands of American troops remain targets of a growing Iraqi insurgency.

From its onset, the labor movement has been at the forefront of the fight to improve working conditions and workplace safety. At the local level, knowing their union has their back gives workers the confidence and support they need to stand up and report harassment, poor working conditions, or workplace safety violations.

Workers should not be prevented from bargaining with the companies that help set their wages, benefits, schedules, and workplace conditions.

Instituting equal pay is especially important because families in our country increasingly rely on women's wages to make ends meet. When women bring home less money each day, it means they have less for the everyday needs of their families - groceries, rent, child care, and doctors' visits.

Justice is the only way to achieve peace and co-existence among the various components of Iraq.

Expecting to be wrong about most things most of the time brings, finally, the kind of humility that leads to peace. I think.

Successive American presidents have turned a blind eye to piles of evidence that Saudi money is being used to foment holy war against America.

I have no superhuman powers. If people don't want to make peace, there is nothing I can do.
