Mommar Kaddafi is a madman with the blood of innocent Americans and others on his hands. However, he has still not stepped foot on the Englewood, NJ property his country has owned for 27 years.
Earth to Congressman Steve Rothman, you represent the concerned citizens of Englewood, NJ not the oil-rich dictatorship of Libya.
If you hold a passport from countries considered to be "state sponsors of terrorism" or "countries of interest," don't plan on making your connecting flight to your final destination inside the USA.
From New York to Singapore, hundreds of major news organizations, including the New York Times, the BBC, the Associated Press, Reuters, and the Voice ...
The hunger strike of more than two dozen Iranian-Americans came to a close Thursday with the news that 36 Iranian dissidents forcibly taken by Iraqi forces had been allowed to return to their enclave north of Baghdad.
Goldstone's report, in effect, equates Israel with Nazis and other tyrants of history by accusing the Jewish State of deliberately targeting civilians.
We will fondly remember our nation's potential to be a force for good in the world under President Obama, but we will always wonder why that potential was never actualized.
This was not a good week for public figures with notable heads of hair. The boyishly coiffed Tom DeLay caused jaws to drop all across America with his rump-shaking cha-cha to "Wild Thing" on Dancing With the Stars. Breck Girl-turned-Cad John Edwards saw his already-tarnished reputation further sullied by the release of details of his affair with Rielle Hunter, including a promised post-Elizabeth rooftop wedding featuring the Dave Matthews Band. And the idiosyncratically maned Donald Trump made headlines by allowing Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi to pitch a tent on his Bedford, New York estate. But it was follicly-challenged columnist David Broder who took the prize for the week's most ludicrous act: criticizing President Obama for "his determination to rely on rational analysis, rather than narrow decisions." God forbid. It was enough to make your hair stand on end.
I'm glad I didn't go see the Dalai Lama today. I'm going to give the ticket to a friend, and he can tell me about the experience.
Is the UN outdated, bloated, and over? I suspect so. By having meetings with dictators, we are showcasing people who would be marginalized if we didn't bring them an audience of global media.
They're the same age, they can be difficult to comprehend, and are known to give their audiences more than they bargained for. What gives?
Not every friend of the United States wears a suit and tie, and sleeping in a tent doesn't make you an enemy of American values (just ask the boy scouts).
Today, even though Russia and the United States have made a mutual commitment to "achieving a nuclear free world," there are many bedeviling details and hurdles ahead.
A day after the stunning security breach, U.N. officials were still attempting to sort out how it was allowed to happen.
Moammar Gadhafi droned on for 90 minutes yesterday in rambling prose barely befitting a head of state. Later, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also gave long-winded remarks.
Only a few blocks from Broadway, Colonel Gaddafi rambled on for more than an hour and a half, tearing out pages of the U.N. Charter and shaking his hands in anger before the UN General Assembly.
The Scots made a moral tradeoff in the wrong direction by releasing the Lockerbie bomber. Here are just a few of the flaws in the thinking behind this decision.
New York has a new hero in Jason Haber, who told the Libyan dictator's representatives that he would find them a lavish apartment only if they returned the Lockerbie bomber to Scotland.
The furor over al-Megrahi's release has only deepened the suspicions of deal making and compromise that have tainted the West's decade-long efforts to rehabilitate Libya.
How does a former pariah state deal with gross human rights abuses of the past? The UK, U.S. and Italy should encourage Libya to address the past, rather than allow all to be forgiven in the name of petrodollars.
