The gay marriage issue put George W. Bush in office in 2004, and therefore contributed heavily to the "Great Recession." Using it as a wedge is vital to the religious right/Tea Party Republican strategy. We are defined as a nation by how we treat our pariahs: gays, atheists, Muslims and illegal immigrants. There is far more at stake here than a label slapped on gay relationships. It is a key determinant in the very future of democracy.

President Barack Obama faces his own dilemmas on the subject of Afghan policy. Should he go for reconstruction or counter-terrorism? Since reconstruction is impossible without control, he has to beef up the ability of the allied troops in Afghanistan to handle the Taliban aggression. The US army chief in Afghanistan, General McChrystal says 40,000 more American troops are needed, but that balks the Pakistan army on other counts. The last time the Taliban came under pressure from the American troops they made a beeline for Pakistan. When the additional troops put pressure on the Taliban they will retreat into Pakistani territory for regrouping and in the process negate the success achieved in the Tribal Areas by the Pakistan army. Clearly, both sides are pointing to the same weaknesses that they actually share. The only way is to coordinate and tackle the menace jointly.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told an invited group of political allies and journalists -- and a world-wide television audience -- that he had no wish or desire to run again for office in the elections he has decreed for next January. The main reason, he indicated, is his disappointment with the U.S. Administration's backing off from a firm stance against Israel's settlement policies in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem. Another reason is the recent tidal wave of criticism he faced at home, in early October, because of the Palestinian leadership's decision to postpone consideration of the Goldstone report into last winter's Israeli attack upon Gaza.
