Execution, Afghanistan
Afghani man converts to Christianity and will possibly face the death penalty. Islamic law, the Sharia, forbids the worship or practice of Christianity among the Islamic people. President Karzia must convince the Judiciary board of Muslim fundamentalist conservatives to consider this decision in light of the current situation as Christianity has become an ally to these people. Or, has the U.S., in fact, become too involved in a situation beyond its control?

In the past, youth of our age have gone to war and fought for our countries. Our generation will be the one to fight for world peace. Our generation will be the one to eliminate injustice from the globe. Isn’t it rather ironic?

Are Good and Evil Context Sensitive?
The bombing of Afghanistan since last week has created a strange dichotomy. There are two goods and two evils in the contemporary world. Further, people in multireligious societies like India are being pressured to take sides. Surprisingly, the choice is not between being a patriot and being a traitor. Rather it lies in choosing one between pro-America and pro-Taliban.

A New War Through Twain's Eyes
All of us have to ask ourselves if revenge is approriate or is, in fact, the healing process can begin, even now. Terrorism is an old and effective weapon, but it can not be countered in the same way and win. The American flag is everywhere now, and it can help those suddenly unsure of the world we live in to focus on what is needed now. It can, though, represent a darker side to patriotism, one that will continue a legacy of violence and hatred.

An Italian Leader: Berlusconi the Crusader
While US and European leaders are trying to put together a large coalition against the fundamentalist supporters of terrorism, the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has caused a diplomatic incident with his declaration on the supremacy of the western civilization. Berlusconi, a media tycoon running Italy since May, is not at his first blunder. Italian voters know his loquacity, but still this didn’t keep them from sending him to government with the elections held in May. Since, Italy’s prime minister, who is also on trial for bribery, has not resolved any of his numerous conflicts of interests, among them his fear of international investigations, which are now necessary to seize the terrorists’ financial resources. Yet, as a traditional friend of Arab nations, Italy could still play an important role in the current diplomatic game due to the presence of the former Afghan king Zahir Shah in Rome.
