Natural make-up and character determine the capacity of a people or nation to receive a religion. Since a ruler has a responsibility for moral virtue that is not limited by city or even by nation, and since virtue is inseparable from religion, an obligation for jihad in the sense of offensive war has to be weighed against the capacity of a people to receive a religion.
Handicapping President Obama's next likely Supreme Court pick would challenge the talents of Jimmy the Greek. There was a time in the run-up to nomination of a Supreme Court Justice that we mulled over a candidate's writings and speeches to discern liberal or conservative predispositions toward issues that come before the Court - abortion, prayer in school or same-sex marriage. But ever since Sonia Sotomayor suggested that "a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would .. reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't had that life," background and experience have emerged as the relevant criteria in handicapping a justice The court is now basically a monolithic institution. Most legal scholars agree that on a collegial court, diversity is a plus and on this court...

Some of the cuts being proposed in Gov. Pat Quinn's budget won't spur economic development, return the state to financial strength or even mollify the cut-first ask questions later Springfield Republicans. The serious cuts to funding of social programs and initiatives across the state threaten to rip asunder the safety nets that protect many of this state's most needy citizens. When you have programs to help youth get high school help, or the jobless get job training, or the elderly get needed care absorbing cuts that threaten their existence, it becomes a question of morality. The budget should reflect the state's commitment to helping its citizens stay afloat, not simply an exercise in balancing the books on the backs of the poor. Make no mistake; while Gov. Quinn's budget is a docume...

Papal appeal VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI issued an urgent appeal Sunday to military and political leaders to consider the safety of Libyan civilians and ensure they have access to emergency aid in his first comments on the U.S.-led military assault on Libya. The pope didn't identify which leaders he was referring to in comments at his traditional Sunday blessing. Significantly, he didn't demand an immediate end to the U.S. and European air and missile strikes. Rather, he directed his appeal in general to "those who have the political and military responsibility to take to heart the safety and security of citizens and guarantee that they have access to humanitarian aid." Benedict said the outbreak of hostilities had sparked "great fear and alarm in me" and said he was praying for p...

"When you go into the parking lot at the school," he said, "you will see a lot of old second-hand cars: Those belong to the teachers. The new cars belong to the students.
Smoke and mirrors on budget Both major political parties share responsibility for the shameful federal debt that has been accumulated over the past decade. The Republicans spent like crazy when they were in control of the White House and Congress. However, their pitiful performance pales in comparison to that of the Democrats.
A very exacting type of prudence is demanded of ethical and effective political leaders. It requires critical self-awareness, diligence in obtaining information and modifying one's conduct in light of it, and attentiveness to the fit and proportionality of means and ends. Although there are counterparts in personal life to these attributes, the prudence of political leaders has a further dimension because of their responsibility for the welfare of the polity, whether a city or an entire nation. The importance of political prudence in the U.S. presidency is illustrated by a comparative analysis of the decision-making processes regarding Iraq in the administrations of George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. The sharp contrasts between them suggest that prudence and other political virtues m...
