Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) An overview world-wide human rights violations: 1 of 14

Do we really believe in Democracy? One cannot help doubting it, looking at what is happening around the world. The power of self-interest at personal, national and international levels far outweighs any idealism that we may profess in the matter. The fact that any resource in this world is limited means that allowing everyon...
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders Judging George Bush's performance as president: 14 of 57

America has at last reached the end of the Bush era. The Americans made a bad mistake in electing such a clueless incompetent to be president the first time (in preference to Al Gore) and a far worse one in re-electing him for a second term. History will judge them harshly for these mistakes which have cost them and the worl...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections US elections 2008: Why to choose Obama over McCain: 2 of 7

The choice before the Americans is so stark that it is surprising that there is a contest at all. Obama and Biden offer such an obviously superior team to that of McCain and Palin.

What I mean is that it is unlikely to leave you unimpressed or bored. I belong to the minority w...
Religion & Spirituality > Islam Are modern Muslim fatwas (religious orders issued by leaders of Islam) fueling Islamic extremism?: 12 of 18

The uproar among Muslims over public expressions of criticism of Islam and the prophet Mohammad is more deplorable than the criticisms themselves. It exposes the rigidity and intolerance that pervades the Muslim faith. Religion is ultimately a personal matter and its descent into a social barrier between people is to be depl...
Politics, News & Issues > Food & Agriculture Global food crisis is developing: 8 of 11

Doomsday is coming. Not the kind of doomsday predicted by cults or the one when terrorists conquer the world, but one full of hunger and clamor for sustenance; a slow, starvation-driven and ugly decay of humanity. It is a frightening prospect which we must make every effort to avoid. Our wanton use and ever increasing greed ...
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Asia Tibet vs China: Quest for freedom: 18 of 22

The occupation of Tibet by the Chinese has been a tragedy for Tibetans and an unmitigated catastrophe for Tibetan culture. The Chinese have sought not only to capture their land and its wealth but also to stifle and ultimately destroy their age-old and spiritually very rich cultural tradition. By imposing various restriction...
