Our View: DC protesters miss the target on IMF World Bank critique
The editorial argues that protesters targeting the IMF and World Bank during their Washington meeting miss the broader shift in global economics. It cites World Bank President James Wolfensohn and critics like Ian Vasquez, notes U.S. taxpayers funded the banks, and asserts the IMF World Bank now largely drive debt and policy through lending and conditions while globalization advances for other reasons.

War on humanity and Elian echoes in memory of communism
Don Feder argues Americans overlook the 20th century's communist horrors. He links Elian Gonzalez coverage to complacency, cites Castro’s Cuba as a repressive regime, and calls for a museum of communism to preserve victims alongside Holocaust remembrance. He notes U.S. leaders’ ties to Cuba and recalls Tiananmen, Korea, and Vietnam to urge vigilance.
