  2. 'Dancing With the Stars' Recap: Week 6 Results

    Motown was in the spotlight on last night's show, with "thrilling comebacks" and "disappointing setbacks." Tom says "Our stars know there's 'nowhere to hide.'" We start with a Motown Medley from Harold Wheeler, the DWTS singers and the pro troupe. The most interesting part is the end when Tom tells us that was choreographed by Louis Van Amstel. Go Louis!

  8. Gadhafi's death: A validation of Obama's policy

    The death of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi at the hands of the rebels who deposed him was the best possible outcome of the months-long civil war in that North African country. Had he remained at large, he could have been a symbol of resistance to the nation&rsquo;s new leaders, delaying efforts to bring peace and a transition to democracy. Had he been captured alive, the nation&rsquo;s fledgling leaders would have been forced to choose between trying him themselves or acquiescing to a war crimes trial in international court, either of which would have given a madman the attention he craved, to the detriment of efforts at reconciliation between rival factions in Libya. Now the nation has a fresh beginning to move forward in its own way.
