OPINION: Healing power of music hardly a new, unique idea 
WASHINGTON — On perfectly beautiful days such as these, it is impossible to conceive of conflict. How, I’ve often wondered, do soldiers muster the psychic energy necessary to inflict and suffer injury on an autumn or spring day when sitting in a breezy sun shaft is so much more compelling — and sensible?

OPINION: Mormonism working for these two candidates
WASHINGTON — Rather than worrying about whether Mormons worship the right God in the right way, Republicans should insist that only Mormons run for president.
Only half-joking.

OPINION: U.S. colleges hear a new call to arms; hopefully, they listen
WASHINGTON — Jobs, jobs, jobs, we keep hearing. But for whom, whom, whom?
Certainly not for the many young Americans being graduated from colleges that have prepared them inadequately for the competitive marketplace in which they find themselves.

OPINION: The problem with men? They’re men
WASHINGTON — As a rule, I’m not one to occupy a bench in the whiny women’s section. In fact, I’ve built a career around this disinclination.

OPINION: America, heal thyself, please
WASHINGTON — The legacy of 9/11 can’t be fully measured even now, but perhaps the most damaging aspect can be found in our national discourse.
Taking the long view, it is possible to see the roots of today’s political dysfunction — the hate, fear, anger and resentment — firmly planted in the soil at Ground Zero.

OPINION: Just who is the godliest of us all?
WASHINGTON — Rick Perry’s rapid lead over previous Republican front-runner Mitt Romney was predictable. But it is not a good sign for Republicans hoping to reclaim the White House and further highlights the crucial battle within GOP circles: Who is the godliest of us all?

OPINION: Profanity is tiny act of violence against kindness
An “MF” here or an “FU” there might not constitute the unraveling of society, but each one uttered in another’s involuntary presence is a tiny act of violence against kindness, of which we surely could use more.

OPINION: Obama's black bus is like armada of doom
Here the country is reeling from depression, recession and oppression, and the president decides to take a heartland tour in the visual equivalent of an armored hearse?

OPINION: Bin Laden killing feels anti-climactic
NEW YORK — It seems nearly heretical to say so, but the termination of Osama bin Laden feels oddly anti-climactic.

Opinion: Business-style civil war breaks out in the South
NEW YORK — It is almost clockwork: As a new presidential cycle winds around, the early primary state of South Carolina provides a defining issue. Whether it’s a debate about where the Confederate Battle Flag should fly — or the “real” meaning of secession — the nation’s most-stubborn state can be a tar pit for the incautious politician.

Opinion: In politics, being ridiculous apparently helps
NEW YORK — As the number of Republicans declaring themselves potential presidential candidates has begun to look like a conga line without music, hope lingered that somewhere unnoticed was a brilliant dark horse biding his sweet time.

Opinion: Hysteria not helping solve US fiscal woes
NEW YORK — So why do Republicans hate art, the elderly and children?
Hint: Same reason parents hate their children when they say, “No.” We could just leave it at that, but this is too much fun.

Opinion: Pilot has big plans for Haiti
SAG HARBOR, N.Y. — Everybody wants to save the children. It’s the cliche that tipped the point that jumped the shark in a perfect storm.But few people, however well intentioned, actually bestir themselves from the sofa to aid those in distress. Most of us — speaking firstperson plurally — make a tsk-tsk-ing sound, perhaps tap a PayPal button, and wish that man and the gods were less cruel.

Opinion: Broder was a great reporter, and sweetheart
Eulogies for David Broder are still tumbling from the fingertips of friends and fans. He was the dean of political journalists, a man both generous and gracious, a reporter’s reporter. Humble.All true. But what I haven’t heard him called yet is sweetie pie. He was that, too. A sweetheart — a kind, unpretentious presence in a world increasingly bereft of such qualities.

Opinion: Not obsessing about ’12 field
NEW YORK — This is doubtless heretical, but I’ll say it: I can wait to find out who the Republican presidential candidates will be.To be clear, I said “can,” not “can’t.”
Let’s go further: I don’t care who they’ll be. At least not yet.
