What Troubles Moldova
Given the favorable circumstances Moldova enjoys, many wonder why our country is so poor. The population has a 99.1% literacy rate…If we are so smart, why are we so poor? Maybe it is true that every people get the government it deserves, but I know Moldova can do better.
The Gaza Crisis Explained
What is the reason for crisis in Gaza and what can be done to ameliorate the situation? The struggle in Gaza is essentially between Yassir Arafat, the president of the Palestinian Authority (PA), and those loyal to him, and young political street militants. In this case, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (interestingly, this is an armed faction of Fatah, an organization founded by Arafat himself) poses the most serious challenge to the PA. Members of this group strongly object the method of governance chosen by the PA, and have accused it of corruption and ineptitude.
