Columns & Editorials: Israel Visit Offers Perspectives, Anger in Politics, and Dean's 'Primary Mistake' 

At the Daily Emerald of the University of Oregon, a freelance reporter writes of a trip to Israel: "If you could travel halfway around the globe, beyond comfortable Western Europe -- beyond Eastern Europe, beyond the Mediterranean -- to spend ten days in one of the most politically volatile regions in the world, a place most Americans only see on CNN, what would you walk away with? For me, it was a totally new perspective..."

Over at the Daily Nebraskan, a columnist writes, "Let It Be... Dean": "In the conference room at the top floor of Rotted Apple Record's Washington, D.C., high rise -- better known as 'the house The Bushles built' -- Bushles impresario and chief 2004 re-election strategist, Karl Rove, turned to his audience of assorted music producers and song writers with a grin.

'I just got off the phone with Simon Cowell," Rove informed them. 'When the next season of 'American Idol' kicks off in Iowa next week, it looks like Howard Dean's got it in the bag.'"

An Indiana Digital Student columnist provides a "Machiavellian's Guide to Graduate Study."

Anger and outrage have made politics more interesting, says a Daily O'Collegian (Oklahoma State University) columnist.

A Daily Orange columnist writes about Howard Dean's "primary mistake": "Despite a damaged economy and an internationally unpopular war, Bush seems poised to beat whomever he faces in November. But Bush is not essentially running on his record; He's running on the weaknesses of the Democratic challengers, namely former Vermont Governor Howard Dean..."

A Stanford Daily editorial comes out for the Bush immigration policy. The Daily Miss thinks President Bush's priorities are "lost in space."
