Last night’s McCain/Obama debate was pretty much a draw, suspending any partisan sentiment. Obama was strong out of the starting gate; He is certainly smooth, and he knows how to play on people’s concerns on the sensitive economic front. But on foreign policy, McCain’s experience showed, and his character shone.

If you’re watching this year’s 2008 Olympic Games (NBC will broadcast from Beijing starting Friday August 8 at 7:30), be sure to look out for former Sudanese refugee and “lost boy” Lopez Lamong. A Southern Sudanese Christian who as a boy ran for his life from genocidal war that pitted the Arab Islamist government …
This incisive piece by Philip Klein in this week’s American Spectator online outlines the evidence that Barack Obama considers terrorism a problem for traditional law enforcement, and favors a pre-911 approach to tackling this cancer.

Check out this terrific story about an Iraqi sheikh who helped U.S. forces expel al Qaeda from Anbar province. Apparently he is now providing the U.S. with information about Afghan tribes, presumably including those along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

The world knows about the people of Darfur as the Muslim victims of …
Check out this video of a Hamas leader last month openly admitting they use women and children as human shields.

Whatever else was or was not true about Benazir Bhutto, she was a human being who refused to be intimidated by terrorists – and for that she merits admiration.
