...Cochin, India Any decent, fair-minded person has a moral obligation to condemn extremism, religious or secular. But the Pope's peremptory linking of Islam and violence is irrational and irresponsible, especially when such a wildly inaccurate judgment comes from somebody whose religion has historically caused more extensive and brutal suffering than Islam ever has. Husam Dughman Toronto It is strange to find the term reason in a religious debate, especially when there is no mention of the single most important human value that defines what we really want and need and that allows everything else to fall into place...

Certainly much has been done to try to close these illegal pages, but with 70,000 videos uploaded onto YouTube every day by people all over the world, it's pretty difficult to check that the videos are politically correct, don't contain bad language and aren't brutal.

Even banishment wasn't safe: in 1976, Pinochet henchmen assassinated former Chilean ambassador and Pinochet...
...Twelve years ago, when the G.O.P. took control of the Congress, the cover of TIME heralded the "G.O.P. Stampede." Now, when the stampede is by the Democrats, what does the cover say about it? There was nary a mention of the Democrats' historic victory or the Republicans' brutal thrashing, just the headline "Why the Center Is the New Place to Be."
