...easy to judge and presume things from the outside. After all, the Harvard AIDS Coalition is pushing for more developmental and AIDS related courses here at Harvard. Its time for Luke Smith to realize that we do not live in a vacuum—his tacit approval of what his government does means that millions of lives are needlessly condemned to death...
That is why, if we do not join the protesters ourselves—in fact, the vast majority of us choose not to—we offer them our tacit support.

Though South Africa is the tournament's principal host, a few matches are set to be played in Kenya and Zimbabwe. And since Christmas, a succession of British ministers have called on the English cricket team to boycott their Feb. 13 game against the home team in Harare...
