...ardently pro-Catholic Law and Justice Party, prefers Catholic pilgrimages to football games. The government is proposing a new constitution that will begin "In the name of God Almighty" and describe Polish independence as a "gift from God." Still, however much Christians may be demanding social and political respect for their beliefs, Islam remains the driver for the new debates between religion and secularism. Nowhere is that more true than in Turkey, where issues that some - perhaps naively - thought had been resolved 80 years ago have now been reopened. In the 1920s, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founding father...
...America fixed its attention westward, away from the Old World and toward its own expansion. But the divorce was never intended to be total. Much of the Declaration itself was a plea for European sympathy and understanding. "Let Facts be submitted to a candid world," it argued. "A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." If the Americans were insisting on moving out of the house, they still wanted to be invited back for the holidays. But would they be, today? Wherever you look in Europe, there...

As she glides through the crowd, Royal, 53, coyly appeals for decorum. "There should be some constraints, some respect for modesty," she coos in a smoky alto. But the hint of a smile on her lips betrays her: she's loving it. And why not? So blinding is Royal's star wattage that her opponents seem feckless in her wake. "They're not campaigning against a person," sighs...
...which we have now grown accustomed to seeing in our leadership. However prominent his shortcomings may have been, though, I refused to believe Clinton capable of such downright bawdiness as he displayed this past Sabbath morning. Sure, he might misbehave in the Oval Office, but surely Clinton would respect the gravitas of the Fox News Sunday studio. Sadly, though, the former president proved himself lacking in both dignity and restraint. In response to host Chris Wallace’s brief and nonpartisan 48-second question accusing Clinton of ignoring al-Qaeda, Clinton set out on a rampage, exposing viewers young...
