Newsweek's retraction of it's 'desecration of a Koran' article seems to fit into the category of too little, too late. People are dead, riots, further hate of the US up a notch. Not to mention Newsweek's credibility taking a beating. All bad business. Sometimes being first with a breaking story is not such a good thing.
Let's here it for some good news. Women in Kuwait can finally vote and run for government office. This makes me feel lucky to know that I have had that privilege right along. I know that when I dislike a politicians' actions (or non-action) not only can I voice my opinion, I can also take steps to vote him out of office. Let's here it for US. And now let's here it for Kuwait, Cairo. "It has been 20 years of work, but at last we got our rights," said Lulua al-Mulla, general secretary of Kuwait's Social Cultural Women's Society, a women's advocacy group. "It is about time." Indeed it is. I will have to remember that, when I don't want to get out and vote because "I have a tight schedule".
