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?

Harry S. Truman (1884-1972)
Winston Churchill wrote to Harry Truman, "I must confess, sir. . . I loathed your taking the place of Franklin Roosevelt. I misjudged you badly. Since that time, you, more than any other man, have saved Western Civilization." The fact that many--even those who disagreed with Truman's politics--came to have similar admiration of Truman may be a result of his straighlaced childhood.
