The strikes were aimed at Libyan air defense targets which had to be taken out in order to set up the no-fly zone. I don't recall Obama, or any other government official, stating that such offensive strikes would be not be used in the process of enforcing the provisions of the UN mandate, a key...
I'm studying Parkinson's disease for a project assigned in class. During my research, I came across two articles published three days apart, the former from a research group detailing one of their studies and the latter from the BBC. They discuss completely separate aspects of the disease and...
But, he isn't proposing any drastic tax increases for those earning above a quarter of a million, right? If I recall correctly, and I'm not exactly sure about the numbers, but he's just calling for a return to the tax rates under Clinton, when the economy wasn't doing all that bad. Combining...
It should be noted that he didn't leave the church because he was 'outraged'. He specifically stated in his press conference yesterday that he wasn't "denouncing" the church. He's leaving for a number of reasons, one of which is that he doesn't need to be affixed with the views of whoever speaks...
Are you kidding me? I disagreed with a few of his sentiments, but his overall message was as far-reaching and embracing as you can get. He took particular care not to offend people of faith traditions apart from his own (and he included atheists) and people of other races and nationalities. He...
Gokul does bring up something that, perhaps, is not particularly appropriate in the current mood of sorrow and remembrance, but should be considered. Bhutto essentially fostered the growth of the Taliban in Afghanistan, verbally incited anti-Indian terrorism in Kashmir, and called for the...

Once again, these organizations are some of the most vocal supporters of what you would call predominantly 'white' countries, especially America and Israel.
Articles of interest:
RSS neither nationalist nor fascist...
It is somewhat interesting and amusing that you always seem to find and talk to these crackpots, while the rest of us never appear to get the opportunity.
Exactly, it's obvious the overwhelming majority of Indians and Hindus don't partake in those claims. Other than the very minute, but extremely virulent groups of Hindus, I hardly think anyone espouses such absurd views. Also, the comparisons of these groups to the KKK is far-fetched, to say the...
The Tigers pull off another upset against South Africa. This is the second time they've beaten the top-ranked team. Now, only if they could get into the semi-finals.
And there goes Agarkar. But, I have a never say die attitude when it comes to Indian cricket and don't intend to give up hope until the last wicket falls. :p
There we go, Yuvraj and Dhoni falling one after another. If India is to win, an event virtually impossible from this position, a miracle is needed from Dravid and Aggy.
Bob Woolmer, the coach of the Pakistani cricket team, has just passed away.
Once again, we're reminded that cricket is nothing more than a simple game. The world will miss a dedicated man.
