Osama bin Laden: killed and al Qaeda: on the run. That’s the balance sheet — more or less — that the U.S. has to share with the world. Meanwhile, its biggest ally in the War on Terror — Pakistan — has nothing to present except that its own people have been terrorized by militants, with [...]

Oh, how I wish I was making this up. But I am not. Yes, the DOJ cannot be bothered to prosecute what one DOJ long-term attorney, J. Christian Adams, claimed to be the “easiest case” he had ever had. He was referring to the voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia. Those [...]

It’s surprising to many that the majority of Pakistanis support the Islamists and their apologists as the saviors of their religion. But this didn’t happen overnight. The mindset of the large segment of society didn’t change with a blink of an eye. No serious attempt has been made to analyse this phenomenon even though the [...]

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

As you may know, Obama is on his 10-day jaunt to Asia, culminating in the G20 Summit in South Korea. His trip included a stop in Indonesia, the country in which he spent some of his childhood. There is much I could write about this trip, though I will leave that to others. But one [...]

I have thought what I would write about after my post on my beloved Sweetie (and I have been out of town helping to get my mom’s new Assisted Living unit set up for her this weekend). Honestly, I didn’t want to go off on anything or anyone today. Fortunately, thanks to NQ artist, Pat [...]

Oh, you just gotta love that Hillary Clinton. Here is more of her trip in India. Here, she is speaking to 700 university students: f you don’t have time to watch the video, click on it anyway, and the transcript is available underneath it. I have company from out of state, so this will be [...]

First, let me apologize for the disheveled organization of this post, since I have a lot of incongruent pincer-like situations on my mind, but — nevertheless — I have been trying to stay up on the latest news coming out of Pakistan because, dammit, it’s so important and because most media aren’t covering it in [...]

The U.S. has spent billions to arm the Pakistani army and police, and contributed thousands of manhours training the troops. Yet the Pakistanis are sending in token police and soldiers to fight the Taliban, and rapidly ceding large areas: Embedded video from CNN Video As I write this, the CNN video and transcript aren’t up, [...]

Editor’s Note: Since its original posting last Wednesday, this excellent article was completely reworked by its author, and sectioned into two parts. The author wishes you to revisit this article – which the author has poured much effort and time into — and give it your attention. THIS is a viewpoint that we Americans rarely [...]

[Cross-posted from Heidi Li's Potpourri] Disagreements about how to end injustice, and specific injustices, are as old as injustice itself. Whether one is considering the injustices of colonialism, racist domination, oppression of women…in each and every one of these areas, those who can agree in broad general principle have often found themselves disagreeing over specifics, [...]
