...LDSSA historian Nicola A. Harris ’10. This year, the main themes in the Q&A session were marriage, the value of family, and women’s role in the church. Attendees asked about Mormon attitudes regarding marriages between homosexual couples, marriage between LDS members and non-LDS members. Others questioned why women were not allowed to be on the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, a governing body in the Mormon church hierarchy, and why they are not expected to go on missions to seek converts. Harris, who will be going on a mission, told the audience...
...Obama would do well to recall the history of North Korea’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon. Former President Bill Clinton’s best diplomatic efforts were not enough to stop North Korea from pulling out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003—North Korea’s decision to do so was in direct violation of the 1994 agreement negotiated between the U.S. and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Indeed, no diplomatic agreement seems powerful enough to restrain Kim Jong Il’s appetite for nukes: Even after...
...First, the development of nuclear weapons is a blatant violation of international law under Iran’s obligations to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Perhaps more importantly, we must recognize that Iran is a nation run by a group of fundamentalist extremists, the public face of which is a dictator who denies the Holocaust and who has insisted over and over that he intends to wipe the “bacteria” or “stinking carcass” (depending on the day) of Israel off the map. The Iranian government actively funds and supports terrorist groups...
...years of existence of atomic weapons, only 10 nations have actually built them, eight of which were during the Cold War and one of which later gave up its weapons (South Africa). Clearly, the non-proliferation strategies employed to this date are working fairly well. The development of an Iranian nuclear weapon, then, could double the number of nuclear-armed nations in a small fraction of that time, representing a major setback for the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. This would mark a return to a Cold War-like era in which a danger of nuclear...
...song in Welsh since their 2000 decision to start singing exclusively in English. On the evidence of “Lliwiau Llachar,” a Beach Boys-esque specimen of pop harmonizing, this album would be a compelling listen even if all the lyrics were incomprehensible to the non-Welsh listener. “Dark Days/Light Years” is as compelling a reminder as any album in 2009 that the greatest thing a band can hope to provide its audience is pure aural enjoyment. This hour’s worth of music is consistently funny and engaging...
