Bill O'Reilly vs. Lupe Fiasco: Who won the debate?

America's starting to see through GOP tea party nonsense
So "Re-electing President Obama in 2012 would be a disaster for America"? (Readers respond, June 10.) Yeah right, and Osama bin Laden's death was a great tragedy to freedom lovers everywhere.

In 'surprise,' U.S. House nearly votes to end Afghanistan war

Time to tell Pakistan: Game over
The search for Osama bin Laden lasted more than 10 years, through three U.S. presidencies. Under President Bill Clinton in the mid-1990s, our intelligence agencies began their relentless pursuit of bin Laden. The death of almost 3,000 innocent men,...Tags: U.S. Navy, Pervez Musharraf, Foreign Aid, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton

Religious terrorism didn't start, won't end with bin Laden

Can the U.S. still trust Pakistan?
Osama bin Laden's death in Pakistan last week at the hands of Navy SEALs was a moral and symbolic victory for the U.S., but it complicated the already tense relationship between the Obama administration and Islamabad.

Obama's Mideast speech: Israel and the Arab Spring
The most surprising aspect of President Barack Obama's speech Thursday on U.S. policy in the Middle East may have been his strongly worded call for a two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on Israel's boundaries before 1967....Tags: Human Rights, Tunisia, Government, Economic Sanctions, Foreign Aid

Bin Laden got justice
Dan Rodricks argues that killing bin Laden was not "justice" ("Bin Laden death: Call it execution, not 'justice,'" May 5). "Justice" is an interesting ideal, but it has never been seen or rendered in the annals of man. No two people could agree...Tags: Osama bin Laden

Mark Frank's letter explains perfectly why the celebrations following bin Laden's death displayed a disheartening lack of civility among too many of our fellow citizens ("Bin Laden death no reason to celebrate," May 4).

The Sun's coverage of turmoil in the Osama bin Laden raid, including the profile of Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger ("Keeping our secrets safe," May 4), was well done. I found especially mirthful Rep. Ruppersberger's rather quaint notion that all future...Tags: Foreign Aid, Egypt, Civil Unrest, U.S. House of Representatives, Religious Conflicts

Real Muslim leadership, not a terrorist's death, would be something to celebrate
Good riddance, Osama bin Laden.
That's one less terrorist I, as a Muslim American, have to worry about ruining my life. But while people filled the streets in Times Square and Pennsylvania Avenue with joy Sunday night, I'm looking at myself in the...Tags: Omar Khayyam, 2016 Olympic Games, Awards and Prizes, Europe, Philosophy
