Secretary of State Clinton: Arming Syrian rebels could help al-Qaeda and Hamas
Lessons learned from Libya? Perhaps not, based on further comments below, but the apparent increase in discretion applied to this conflict is welcome. “Clinton: Arming Syria rebels could help Al-Qaeda,” from Agence France-Presse, February 27: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday warned against the US arming rebels in Syria because such a move could […]
Indonesian Red Cross resists Islamic supremacist demands to abandon cross logo
It is a reach for the board member to claim the symbol has nothing to do with Christianity, but he is quite right that, at least on paper, Indonesia still functions on certain principles of pluralism enshrined in the Pancasila doctrine. Of course, even that has its revisionist movement. The objections to the symbol have […]
