Sorry Lara, but history is never the study of diversity nor the study of all groups of people. It is the study of the past and the men and well behaved women rarely make history who lived during those times, the events that happened and the lessons we may learn from them. History is not about interpreting a time period through a 2011 mindset and sensibilities nor ignoring the great men and women for certain minor people that in spite Read More

A good start, but it stops short of a number of agencies that have grown like mushrooming cancers. Most of these have regulatory powers of dubious need. For example, the EPA when it becomes concerned with fad scientific claims based on the health hazzard of elements and compounds that are present elsewhere on Earth with no effects on health. A part per billion of lead won't cause mental illness and only two types of asbestos, which microscopically Read More

Mubarak's resignations form presidency, while a step in the right direction, does not appear to completely solve the growing problem of his influence in Egypt. In my opinion, by delegating power to his vice-president he only wishes to calm the protestors, not actually solve the crumbling government. Like I said earlier, this is a positive first move but change is no where finished for Egypt. The people still realize the hurdles that it Read More

I hate to say it. But, when it comes to freedom of expression (on matters of life), equal rights to woman, Iraq (like some other states) needs a cultural change, and new mind set, be resilientfore it can be truly ruled by democracy. Fortunately Iraqi people are resilient and intelligent. I hope moderate and secular element in this ancient country will prevail and bring Iraq back from the days of darkness. The real test for the Iraqis Read More

@Henry Tuttle, the U.S. corporate tax return calculator 2012 rate has been 35% since the 1980s. Other countries have aggressively lowered their tax rates while we are now stuck with the second highest corporate tax rate in the G-20. Even a liberal could follow this reasoning. A corporation has $100 mill. in revenue, $100 mill. in capital, and makes $16 mill. pretax ($10 mill. post-tax). Its profit margin and return on equity are 10%. Read More

Very good analysis, Bart. However, you present the best of logical conclusions. Personally, I have to believe Obama, backed and surrounded by admitted socialists in his administration (documented fact) that he cares little for the Country as it was founded and is in the process of bringing about the change process which was promised. Change that many saw, but few believed. Unless you're a corrupt business person with your hand out for Read More

At what point are your responsible for what you do with your own two hands? I didn't realize that Obama, needed to spoon feed every action you take, and be liable for it too. Am I insane? Or is it the whole WSJ community, moreover the USA, that forgot about personal responsibility and even moreover family responsibility. I love the repeater too... If you just read the comments on any article, they are the same plus or minus one or two Read More

This is not a surprise but it is at the same time. This is because its been a while since suicide bombers have attacked Jerusalem. I believe that this is shows that the war and issues between the Palestinians and Israelis are no where to end soon. I didn't understand why do people commit suicide people got involved in suicide bombing until i watched a movie in world regions where two guys were suicide bombers. I realized that they believe Read More

What used to astonish me -- I'm used to it now -- is the utter lack of conservatism on the American right wing. These people seem not to understand that the President is not the Presidency. My impression of Barack Obama is that he is a fine gentleman, the kind you'd want to see your daughter bringing home. He seems prudent, intelligent, thoughtful, and can make a good first impression a good speech. He has a political program that I can't Read More

I'll tell you why this product doesn't exist: the cost of simply walking away from a depreciated house is too low. if you allow your house to go into foreclosure, what does that cost you? a few years' bad check credit score. You can probably estimate this by adding another couple hundred basis points on the interest you now pay for auto loans, credit cards. That would set a logical maximum on what an individual would be willing to pay Read More
