Saeed Ahmed Minhas Region: Washington

There is a suspicion in the air that would Barack Obama make it to white House or is America ready for a black president, a favorite pastime for many Pakistani these days and the impression received a backing as soon as I landed at the Dulles airport, just outside the Washington DC—the capitol of America. Unusually the immigration staff was not hostile, maybe because I ended up with a black officer but when my l... more

Bristol Palin's Pregnancy, the Tip of the Disastrous "Pro-Life" Iceberg

Hubert Herring Region: Washington

Is the pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter off limits as a relevant political issue? Absolutely not.     “It's a private family matter,” a McCain strategist said. “Life happens in families.”       No, things happen for a reason. Palin, staunchly anti-abortion, believes the sum total of sex education should be about abstinence. So, presumab... more

So I was interested to hear John McCain’s answer at Rick Warren’s forum the other night when McCain was asked about his moral failings. “My greatest moral failing,” he... more
