Letter: Media wrongly portrays Israel as an aggressor
August 14I am concerned about how quickly some judge Israel. For years, Israel has been forced to respond to terrorists and violent attacks from extremist terrorist groups.

Letter: Israelis, Palestinians both deserve sovereign nations
August 14Each and every day, $10 million of our tax dollars go to Israel in "foreign aid," which is more than the budgets of the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Forest Service - agencies that save American lives. We now can clearly see how Israel chooses to spend that money - dropping expensive made-in-America bombs and missiles on the civilian population of Lebanon.

Letter: U.S. should end support of country tied to terrorism
July 27On July 11, a series of coordinated bombs were set off in the world's busiest subway system - in the Indian city of Mumbai - resulting in hundreds of causalities, including around 200 dead. Once again, innocents have paid a price because the international community, led by the U.S., refuses to acknowledge the double game played by Pakistan.

Letter: Not anti-Semitic to criticize Israel's immoral actions
July 27I thought that Matthew Chavez's column in the July 20-26 Daily Lobo, "Middle East conflict distorted by U.S.," was perfect.

Letter: Veto aims to please Bush's few remaining supporters
July 27President Bush has issued his first veto ever.

Letter: Employees' raises lost in other UNM expenditures
July 20I am a steward for the Communications Workers of America Local 7011 and was on the bargaining committee that negotiated raises for UNM employees this year. People keep complaining to me that they do not see the raises they got this year, at least not in the form of real money.
Opinion
Letter: Bush's veto on stem cells not morally responsible
July 20Does it make sense from any standpoint to destroy embryonic stem cells instead of using them for the potential benefit of us all?
Opinion
Letter: University must consider students' dollars limited
July 20UNM has done it again - screwing over its students in the name of profit. Parking fees have increased across the board, and now the only places where any student can park are the South Lot and the Zia Lot. Every other lot has been restricted to certain minority groups of students, with the rest of us left to scramble for alternatives.

Column: Middle East conflict distorted by U.S.
Matthew Chavez | July 20In a telling statement on Friday, U.S. Ambassador John Bolton urged "all parties" in the escalating conflict in the Middle East to "accept the principle that governments must exercise sovereign control over their territories." If only U.S. and Israeli leaders adhered to their own pronouncements, the Middle East would not be facing its biggest disaster in a quarter century.
Opinion
Letter: Properties named after governor imply big ego
July 13What does it say about an elected official who gets state properties and facilities named for himself or a family member while he or she is still in office?
Opinion
Letter: Part of being American is caring for our citizens
July 13I am appalled at the lack of compassion Mark Erasmus has for his fellow citizens who are less fortunate than himself. How long has it been since Erasmus has had to work a minimum wage job and try to survive on that pay? I doubt that he ever has, or he might remember how difficult it was.
Opinion
Letter: Impeachment policies inconsistent, unjustified
July 13As a concerned American citizen, I just have to ask: If Clinton was impeached for lying about sex, why has Bush not been impeached for lying about a war?
Opinion
Letter: Wait has been too long for minimum wage increase
July 13I am responding to Mark Erasmus' letter "Constitution does not guarantee minimum wage" in the July 6-12 Daily Lobo.
Opinion
Letter: Nudity is obscene in only sexually insane societies
July 13Responding to the letter "Nude photos degrading, regardless of intent" in the July 6-12 Daily Lobo, I love living naked at home and mostly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. My naked healthy body is my best and favorite suit.
Opinion
Column: Both sides agree war is failing
Matthew Chavez | July 6With the arrest of seven al-Qaida suspects in Miami last week and National Public Radio's revelation Monday that the CIA has disbanded the unit assigned to hunting Osama bin Laden and his top associates, serious questions have re-emerged about the Bush administration's approach to stifling the growing threat of nonstate terrorism.
