...Worst of all, China, as an ally of oil-rich Sudan, holds responsibility for the Darfur genocide by association. Its investment dollars and arms sales support the Sudanese regime, allowing it to continue its brutal war against Darfur. There must be meaningful consequences to China’s disregard for human rights...
...religion. And to even consider it a form of proselytization is far-fetched. It is recited in Arabic; to whom could it conceivably have been proselytizing? Declaring something to be proselytizing reflects an attempt to ensure that it is censured.

Bangkok residents may rattle through a litany of Thaksin's alleged faults - corruption, a disregard for human rights, even an attempt to build his reputation at the expense of Thailand's beloved King - but, for people upcountry, as the Thais like to call it, Thaksin's populist health-care initiatives and village funds were manna. "When the soldiers took over, people were scared to say they liked Thaksin," says Nuntana Sommun, a teacher of Thai dance in Chiang Rai. "But in our hearts we still supported...
