        • Steven Barker, East side

        A letter writer in Wednesday's paper said that the attack on Iran was unprovoked. Are you kidding me? Iran has been financing terrorists to kill Americans for over 47 years. Have you heard of the 90-11 attack? How about the bombing of the US military barracks in Libya? Do you remember that? …

        It is disgusting to see people who have lived here for decades, good people brought here as children, being detained by the vicious actions of the current administration. We were told they would go after criminals and those who recently came illegally. All lies once again.

              Letter: Build democracy, not dictator presidents

                Approaching the mid-term elections, there is concern over how these elections will be conducted and whether results “unfavorable” to the administration will be allowed to stand. Regardless of the outcome, those of us who believe in representative democracy need to look at how we got here and…

                        Local opinion: A subscriber’s hope for the Arizona Daily Star

                        I read with genuine interest the Arizona Daily Star’s recent story about David Hoffmann’s investment in Lee Enterprises and his vision for local newspapers.

                        Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                        A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.

                        Juan Ciscomani has a pivotal role to play in protecting public lands. It's a role that he must fulfill.
