Executive abuse and Iraq war authorization questioned
The view argues a 1991 congressional resolution authorizing Bush Sr. to defend Kuwait cannot legitimize an Iraq invasion today. It calls for a formal declaration of war after public debate, warns of executive power risks, and stresses need for concrete evidence on Iraq’s ties to terrorism before any action.

Barr's paradoxical defense of liberty in a drug war stance
Jacob Sullum argues Bob Barr, Georgia congressman and former federal prosecutor, mixes strong civil liberties advocacy with hardline drug policies. Barr fought assault weapon limits, questioned secret immigration evidence, opposed a national ID, and supported some Patriot Act elements, yet his drug War stance harms Fourth Amendment protections and undermines privacy. Sullum concludes Barr remains a rare libertarian ally on rights but inconsistent on drug policy.

Wildfire policy clash and lessons from Valmeyer flood recovery
Stephen Chapman argues for learning from Valmeyer’s relocation after the Mississippi flood and questions Western fire policy. He notes fires cannot be endlessly fought as development increases risk, suggests managed thinning and prescribed burns, and weighs shifting priorities to keep people away from fires rather than eradicating all blazes.
