Three Steps to Mitigate Home-Grown Terrorism
Anil Shrivastava "Musafir"
America is a land of immigrants and we should welcome skilled foreign born workforces in the U.S. We should also give shelter to" tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free" after a careful evaluation. Unfortunately, many of the present-day immigrants are taking advantage of our liberal immigration policy and are threatening us with home-grown terrorism.

American Scene

Home of the Exceptional
David Began
What is the role of the United States in the world today? Is it still the leader of the world? American exceptionalism says that the U.S. has the specific mission to spread democracy and liberty throughout the world. Is this still true? Before pursuing that question further, let's take a side trip to a seemingly illogical expression that will ultimately shed light on the answer:

The exception proves the rule.

Foreign Policy Quotes

They Said It!
Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don't do to other nations what we don't want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us? -Ron Paul

As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where - where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." -Sarah Palin

Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy, because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood. -Jimmy Carter

Humor

Air Dreams
Anil Shrivastava "Musafir"
The best part of a nightmare is waking up. This morning I had another pleasant experience of waking up to realize that my whole air travel experience, though very close to reality, was really a nightmare. I was in line to board the airplane. The announcement came, "All the remaining passengers traveling in Cattle Class are requested to board now."Since I was holding an economy ticket, I approached the gate attendant and asked her, "Excuse me miss but I am holding an economy class ticket."

Perspective

US Policy Toward the Asia-Pacific
Anil Shrivastava "Musafir"
China is definitely a power to reckon with in East Asia. It is a regional superpower, an economic giant whose influence is felt in all the countries of the region. According to predictions, China may soon surpass the U.S. as the greatest economy on earth and its military strength may match that of the United States.

Commentary

Twenty-First Century School Violence
Robert Bickmeyer
Violence will always be with us and will never be eliminated, but why does it permeate America's 21st century society in ways it never has before? Let us focus on school and teenage violence. Since 1992 there have been at least 296 violent deaths in schools across the nation. How has our society changed? Who is at fault? Is it Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry, Democrats, Republicans, working mothers, deadbeat dads, divorce, schools or the media

Point-Counterpoint

Should the U.S. Be World's Policeman
Bala Prasad
Great power brings special responsibility. They are granted the legitimacy to exercise power on the global stage but the price is a willingness to act consistently for the common good of all, of course with their own self-interest in mind.

U.S. Can't Be World's Policeman
Anil Shrivastava "Musafir"
The USA can no longer continue to act as world's policeman. It is not possible financially or manpower wise to stretch our presence in 200 countries around the world, especially knowing that most don't share our principles and values.

Book Review

Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead
Author: Sheryl Sandberg
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf 2013
To help empower women everywhere to realize their full potential, Sandberg has opened up about her own career journey and lessons learned along the way. While the book is well-researched, its shining strength is the personal stories and anecdotes from both Sandberg and her friends and colleagues.
