...this.” “24” has essentially turned the kitchen table of an average Muslim family into the center of all the evil that has gripped our nation. The implication of the episode is that one can never be certain that the Muslim or Arab family next door are not terrorists. Harvard should be the last place such a mentality is accepted...
...resolution doesn't actually use a definite article, and Israel has long insisted that this is precisely because 242 does not demand withdrawal from all territories occupied in 1967, but instead calls more vaguely for Israel to retreat to "secure and recognized borders."

During his visit to Indonesia, the hardest-hit country and the world's most populous Muslim nation, Secretary of State Colin Powell could not let pass...

We missed the opportunity to unite the West in our common goal of a successful Afghanistan, a stable Iraq, and victory against terrorism. We missed the opportunity to expand trade and technology to developing nations and lead the charge against global poverty with AIDS treatment, family planning and micro-loans to emerging small businesses. And, at home, we missed the opportunity to stop America?...
