...these religious leaders cannot claim to speak for all Christians. Much of their agenda is either extra-scriptural or plainly illogical. For example, the parts of the Bible that pro-life activists cite to justify their cause are not explicit and can often be interpreted in different ways. “Of course, nothing addresses abortion directly,” concedes Willem A.

Financial markets and the lack of available consumer credit - not a lack of appealing car designs - are the reasons for this crisis, and piling the blame on Detroit is simply not balanced. Steven M. Friedman...
This time, however, the Israeli government is earning praise in the Israeli media for its handling of the assault against Hamas. In particular, analysts cite the months of intelligence gathering and high level of secrecy in planning the air strikes. The timing of the first raids on Saturday appears to have caught Hamas by surprise, accounting for the high number of casualties among the militants...
