In an interview in his hometown Wyoming newspaper, Dick Cheney said, “I don’t have any idea why people don’t like me.” It seems that the closer the Bush administration gets to leaving the White House, the more the “hardcore hawks” start their repentance. Cheney is the most opportunistic, greedy, self-absorbed, power-hungry, power-mad individual a republic [...]

It’s hard not to talk about what is going on in the Middle East. The Israeli army is pounding Gaza with bombs. The pictures are chaotic. The Palestinian civilians from Gaza are trapped, trying to escape to Egypt. It is sad to see suffering and destruction on such a scale. The question is, how much [...]

After many warnings, the State of Israel retaliated against the constant attacks from Hamas. I would be insensitive to say “they told you so.” More than 200 people were killed include innocent children. Many questions crossed my mind this morning when I read the news from the Middle East.

Such a move raises worries: a possible confrontation between two nuclear powers. The Pakistani government still denies that its citizens were involved in the Mumbai attacks (that many believe originated with Pakistan-based militants). [...]

The state of Israel got a “Christmas gift” today — not from Santa, but from Hamas. At least five Kassam rockets and several mortar shells landed in southern Israel. The government of Israel issued a warning to Hamas to stop their attack or face a massive invasion of Gaza. Israel’s retaliation would mean a flow [...]

Merry Christmas. Christmas is a time to share gifts with family and people that you care for. Christmas is also one of the most stressful moments for men, last-minute shoppers who sometimes don’t know what to buy for their spouses and friends. Women, on the other hand, remember holidays and plan in advance, therefore finding [...]

Speaking on Monday, Pope Benedict said that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behavior was as important as protecting the environment. This kind of comment questions the role of church in our society. Pope Benedict is a very controversial person who certainly doesn’t understand homosexuality. The wise attitude when someone doesn’t understand something is to [...]

Some New York Democrats are still angry that Caroline Kennedy, along with her uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, endorsed and campaigned for Obama (over Clinton, who is leaving the Senate to become Obama’s Secretary of State). Hillary’s supporters oppose Caroline Kennedy as her replacement. Like the Ming dynasty in China, the Kennedys symbolize the American dynasty. [...]

What is going on in Zimbabwe right now is a pure nightmare for the world community. The ex-British colony is ruled by a 84-year-old man, one of the most brutal dictators of our century: Robert Mugabe. Since the country’s independence from Great Britain, the country has been ruled by a policy of racism and tribalism. [...]
