...Obama failed to offer much hope to the Palestinians, who were afforded just an hour of the 36 hours that he spent in Israel during his overseas trip. Even his speech in Berlin - in which he said, "The greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another" - fell short. Obama's true commitment to eliminating the walls that stand between nations, races and religions remains to be proved. Saber Ahmed Jazbhay, Durban, South Africa...

Since the government must set a minimum wage for justice's sake, perhaps it can set maximums for corporate profits or individual salaries and offer incentives for the rich to give back.

Which is why I'm almost as puzzled by Obama's debate strategy as I am by McCain's advertising.

...both candidates are clapping, if sometimes with one hand. Obama and his aides have said Hill's efforts in North Korea offer a model for dealing with other rogue regimes, and on his way back from Europe, Obama backed the Bush overture to Tehran, telling Reuters "the Iranians should take that gesture seriously." When he visited Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah on July 23, Obama even endorsed Bush and Rice's three-track approach for an accelerated Arab-Israeli peace process and pledged to continue it if elected. McCain has also endorsed the Bush diplomatic moves, while stressing that...
