The Terrible Times We Live In
(Preview)
America - this is why the world hates you. Not your thinkers or your ideals, nor even your collective public, but it is the words and actions of your "deciders" that the world's people, including some of your very own citizens, hate. Mr Bush likes to think of himself as "The Decider," with mean mutt Rums...

The Simplicity of Fairness
Compromise is a dangerous notion, but so too is stubbornness. In today's ever changing world there are a myriad of solutions to an infinitude of differing problems, ponderings and "situations". One need not go into the details of world conflict, peace processes or dev...

The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back
If I were Salman Rushdie, I would still be very scarred. It seems that insults against Islam remain a tiny bit off limits when it comes to public rhetoric. The episodes of civil unrest after the re-publication of the Danish cartoons show that much needs to be done...
