...pointed out that since Pakistan is a key ally in the fight against terrorism, the Bush Administration deems the regime worthy of continued funding despite Musharraf's unconstitutional actions. This reminds me of how the U.S. backed South American dictators in the name of preventing the spread of communism. Allowing democracy to be so egregiously revoked does not bode well for U.S. policies in the region, and it is only a matter of time before this current ally withers from lack of popular support.

For his undisputed contribution to ending the Cold War, Gorbachev remains a source of hope and inspiration. Unfortunately, the transition to democracy that he initiated in Russia is far from complete. The parliamentary elections that took place on Sunday, which cemented the power of the autocratic Russian President Vladimir Puttin, were nothing but a tragic comedy. Putin’s party won the election?...
...spare ourselves the effort and pain of pursuing truth, love, and goodness, that we drift into a life of emptiness, in which there may be almost no pain, but the dark sensation of meaninglessness and abandonment is all the greater."
