...Shame on those Americans who no longer support the war in Iraq [May 24]. A war that was right when the first U.S. soldier was killed had better still be right after the deaths of more than 800 of our troops. The war may not be as easy as we thought it was going to be, but that doesn't mean it is wrong. Our enemies are still fighting the U.S. We Americans should remain loyal to our military, including our Commander in Chief and those directly in charge of the troops in Iraq. If we rally around our military...
Keneally, the Australian writer best known for Schindler's List, has said this novel began in his feelings of "grief and shame and outrage" at the treatment of the mainly Middle Eastern refugees seeking asylum in his home country, which is why Great Uncle is not his main focus.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, ruling this fall that the Commonwealth’s constitution bars the state from refusing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, hit the nail on the head: banning homosexuals from marrying within their gender creates an artificial, inherently unfair second class of citizens. Massachusetts’ denial of marriage licenses to gays and lesbians was hardly the first time that those in charge of the American government did their best to deny its promise...
...they did, to thankfully-futile end. As great as it is to live in the state that granted the first marriage licenses to same-sex couples last month, we Massachusetts residents should also hang our heads in shame to live in a state ruled by a governor who has shown an Ahab-like obsession with preventing gays and lesbians from marrying. Gov. W. Mitt Romney sought an emergency stay on the Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling to avoid the day of reckoning that came on May 17. He also joined others in a push for the court...
