Salon has run a very thought-provoking article with the title,”The War on Female Sexuality: Is Globalization to Blame?” It is a well-argued piece that makes some really intense points.

Syrian President Assad made a rare public address to the Syrian people in which he blamed the rebellion on “puppets” of outside powers. The speech gave no ground to the rebels and was immediately rejected by them. The speech, however, does indicate that Assad has no intention of stepping down which means that the violence in Syria will only deepen and get worse.
I continue to worry about the rising tide of right-wing sentiment in the world. This story in Foreign Policy suggests that the young people of Italy are becoming attracted by the history associated with the rule of the fascist, Mussolini.
