The editorial warns against government programs that encourage citizens to spy on neighbors, likening them to Nazi and Soviet practices. It lauds the Postal Service for refusing Ashcroft’s security plan, notes dangerous gossip and vigilantism, and argues respect for due process and voluntary, individual tip sharing over state sanctions. It urges vigilance against intrusive, vindictive informant systems while supporting lawful homeland security.

Richard G Lugar, a centrist force in Congress, pushes for congressional authorization and broad international backing before any war with Iraq. He cautions that plans must cover postwar costs and Treasury and Commerce readiness, and notes Russia debts and French oil deals as factors shaping U.S. strategy.
