Last week, a flap came along after presidential candidate Rick Perry was introduced at a Value Voters Summit by Dr. Robert Jeffress, head of the Southern Baptist Convention. Jeffress, who endorsed Perry for president, stressed his candidate's strong biblical beliefs. He then made unflattering references to Perry opponent Mitt Romney, a Mormon, and claimed, "Mormons are not true followers of Jesus Christ." Jeffress also asserted that "as evangelical Christians, we understand that Mormonism isn't Christianity" and, despite the fact that Romney is "good and moral," his religion could be characterized as a "cult. Although Perry disavowed the tone of these remarks, the genie was already out of the bottle. Jeffress' comments evoked the most egregious display of hypocrisy and ignorance that I...

For President Bush, his administration and like-minded Americans, Sunday's election in Germany offers three possible outcomes. Only one of them would be an improvement on the current manic-depressive distrust that marks U.S.-German relations. The final week of the campaign has seen a remarkable tightening between the leading Christian Democratic Party (the more conservative of the major parties) and the currently ruling Social Democrats (the party of current Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder), and the latest polls put the number of undecided voters between 20 percent and 30 percent. Like the U.S. presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, no one really knows how it will end on election night.

There is no question that nuclear weapons deployed in Europe are safe and secure," Guy Roberts, NATO deputy assistant secretary-general for weapons of mass destruction policy and director for nuclear policy, told Arms Control Today Aug. 14.

A four-month political impasse ended in the Netherlands on Thursday, as the country's first postwar minority government took office promising deep budget cuts and tightened immigration rules. The new prime minister, Mark Rutte of the pro-market Liberal Party, will lead a coalition with the Christian Democratic Appeal, another center-right party. But the two parties, short of a majority, will rely on support in the lower house of parliament from anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom.

Multiculturalism has completely failed. That's the assessment of Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany, in a recent speech before the youth wing of her conservative political party, the Christian Democratic Union. The idea that disparate peoples can "simply live side by side and live happily with each other" has failed, she said. "Utterly failed.

Recent developments in German state elections may portend an eventual loss of power for the moderate Christian Democratic Union party led by Angela Merkel, which presently governs in a Grand Coalition with its long-term socialist rival, the Social Democratic Party (SPD). The election outcome was attributed to growing economic worries. That's the prognosis in a nutshell of Professor Lothar Probst, president of the Institute for Intercultural and Intellectual Studies at Germany's University of Bremen. Mr. Probst told an Oct. 1 gathering at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies in Washington that the Bavarian election a week ago, in which the CDU's sister party, the Christian Social Union, suffered severe setbacks symbolizes "many problems, trends and directions for [large...
