Israeli veterans, shortly after the 1967 war, described the atrocities they saw, or carried out.

Up to 200,000 defied the Malaysian state to protest demanding the resignation of the prime minister, who doesn't respect democracy very much.

Fortunately the thugs refrained from physically attacking them this time. That may be due to the participation of the former prime minister, who didn't respect democracy very much either. Is this really a factional power struggle? Is he trying to co-opt it into one?

Chris Christie wants to track all visitors to the US all the time, so as to find them if they overstay their visas.

How could they do this? Implanting a portable phone into the visitor's body would work. As a bonus, they could listen to all conversations that take place near the visitor.

Banning child labor in making the products we use can have harmful secondary effects when the children live in poor families.

However, there may be a better solution than child labor, as we can see when a parent says, "[the children] are making money that is used to pay their school fees." Why are there school fees to pay?
