Republican convention delegates in Kansas raise representation questions
Kansas GOP and Democratic delegates to national conventions prompt concerns over geographic balance. In the GOP slate, most 2nd and 4th district delegates hail from a single county, leaving Johnson, Wyandotte, and Douglas counties underrepresented. In contrast, Douglas County Democrats send nine delegates to Denver, with stronger local Democratic presence, prompting debate on fair regional representation.

Iraq Education Initiative deserves U.S. support
Trudy Rubin argues Iraq's plan to spend oil revenues to send 10,000 high school graduates annually abroad for five years, mainly to the United States, with compulsory return, is a practical path to rebuild Iraq's human capital and strengthen U.S. future ties. She notes past education decline, security hurdles, and visa bottlenecks, urging Washington to back funding, homegrown upgrades, and streamlined visas to enable skilled graduates.
