Is the furor di […]

Iran's Power Players

(Global Pulse: September 4, 2009) What's in a kiss? Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and President Ahmadinejad took part in one of the most analyzed kisses since Romeo and Juliet.

Afghan Women: Far From Equal

(Global Pulse: August 21, 2009) Afghan women can now vote and run for office, but they are still second-class citizens.
