Watching American society arguing about birth control is incomprehensible.  It seems like anytime American women gain one step, they are held back three steps. Birth control is a private matter and a civil right. The involvement of American Taliban — I mean the American ultra- conservatives – in the debate adds more spice in the sauce. Rush Limbaugh, [...]

Despite President Obama’s apology regarding a bizarre Quran burning by US forces in Afghanistan, violence against the US is still going on. The question is, how did this happen? How can a group of officers not think and predict the consequences of such an insensitive act? Maybe this unfortunate act by US forces will speed up their [...]

The Republican presidential primaries are still going on. Yesterday’s winner is today’s loser. Today’s winner is tomorrow’s loser. It is unclear who is going to cross the finishing line first. Tuesday, Rick Santorum had a big night. Tomorrow, we do not know who will be the winner. All we do know is that, when it’s time to [...]

As expected, one by one, the Republican contenders are dropping out of the Republican primary race. Like the African Americans’ choice of President Obama because of his Blackness, Jon Huntsman has endorsed his fellow Mormon, Mitt Romney. There is no shame about that.

The latest violence is the work of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Now that the “infidels” (for some, “invaders” for others) have left Iraq, what is the significance of violence? The [...]

He was once the prince of Russia, the untouchable. A tough cookie. Vladimir Putin is more unpopular in Russia now than ever before.

Do you believe in bad luck? Coincidence? Strange things happen in life that sometimes we are unable to explain. Five South American leftist presidents have been diagnosed with cancer. The leftists are known for being very vocal against US foreign policy. Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, is one of them. Chavez did not directly accuse [...]

When asked during a recent CNN interview about his controversial newsletters, Ron Paul got defensive. Ron Paul has been accused of racism. Would he really have published an article without reading its contents?  Why not admit being wrong and move on? You can deduce the truth: Ron Paul is the father of Rand Paul, the “prince” of [...]

As we are approaching the Republican party primaries, uncertainties are still in the air. The polls are switching from one candidate to another. Each week a new leader emerges and his dark side is exposed. Each candidate’s character has been tested. Mitt Romney, who has been losing his momentum, has regained some energy after being endorsed by “Papa” [...]
