Other Dimensions of Majority Rule
After people all over the world protested U.S. readiness for war, President
Bush said, "Democracy is beautiful. People have the right to express their
opinions." I hope he still believes in democracy since members of Turkey's
Parliament said "No" to U.S. ground troops on their border with Iraq...

Religion Takes Several Hits
By Cal Thomas
Had Graham spoken "truth to power'' ... chances are excellent that Nixon
would never again have granted the evangelist access. That's the way the
game is played between politicians and clergy. And the clergy always lose in
the end because it is their principles that must be sacrificed if their
proximity to supposed power is to continue and their illusion of influence
to be maintained...

Strains on the Christian communities in the Middle East
Part 1 of 2
By Drew Christiansen
In mid-February, the Druze population of Maghar, a village in Galilee,
rioted against their Christian neighbors after a disgruntled teenager
circulated a rumor that a Christian youth had posted nude photos of young
Druze women on the Internet. Homes, cars and stores belonging to Christians
were burned. Many Christians, who make up about 30 percent of Maghar’s
population, were forced to flee the town and, according to their Melkite
pastor, are afraid to return home. ...more>>> |

The state of
Christian-Muslim dialogue in the Middle East
Part 2 of 2
By Drew Christiansen
The Pope's attempt at interfaith dialogue in the Middle East...
...The first speaker, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Meir Lau, was the first to break
with protocol when he declared that the pope’s presence in West Jerusalem
signaled his acceptance of Israeli sovereignty over the city. [Sheik] Tamimi
then gave a fiery sermon, climaxing in an appeal for a new Saladin to drive
the infidel from the land. The auditorium was aghast. The Israeli diplomats
sitting near me, and many others, rose in a chorus of protest...

The Post Oil Age
What's going to happen as we start running out of cheap
gas to guzzle?
By James Howard Kunstler
Now we are faced with the global oil-production peak. The best estimates of
when this will actually happen have been somewhere between now and 2010. In
2004, however, after demand from burgeoning China and India shot up, and
revelations that Shell Oil wildly misstated its reserves, and Saudi Arabia
proved incapable of goosing up its production despite promises to do so, the
most knowledgeable experts revised their predictions and now concur that
2005 is apt to be the year of all-time global peak production. It will
change everything about how we live....more>>> |

Is America going broke?
By Steve MaichRecord deficits, colossal debt and no
clear plan for digging itself out. If the U.S. sinks, it will take Canada
down with it. As of February, the U.S. national debt stood at US$7.7
trillion. And this year, the country is projecting another record deficit of
US$427 billion, increasing its debt by about US$1.2 billion a day....more>>> |

 Rev. Jim Wallis author of "God’s Politics: Why the Right
Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It"
Interviewed By Michal Lumsden
"I am an evangelical Christian, and I can’t ignore thousands of verses in
the Bible on [another] subject, which is poverty. I say at every stop,
“Fighting poverty’s a moral value, too.” There’s a whole generation of young
Christians who care about the environment. That’s their big issue.
Protecting God’s creation, they would say, is a moral value, too. And, for a
growing number of Christians, the ethics of war—how and when we go to war,
whether we tell the truth about going to war—is a religious and moral issue
as well....more>>>
