Below are an assortment of links to some interesting articles printed this Sunday:
Thomas Friedman's NYT opinion piece on Bush's failures to address the proper elements of the oil crisis.
America is in the midst of its worst energy crisis in years and what is the big decision our Decider has decided? Drum roll, please: Our Decider decided to lift the executive orders banning drilling for oil and natural gas off the country’s shoreline — even though he knew this was a meaningless gesture because a Congressional moratorium on drilling passed in 1981 remains in force.
A second piece by the NYT looks at the evolving relationship between the CIA and Pakistan's spy services.
It is like a bad marriage in which both spouses have long stopped trusting each other, but would never think of breaking up because they have become so mutually dependent.
Finally, an interesting opinion piece examining the topic of citizenship and assimiliation through the lens of the recent burqa case in France.
The Current Discussion: France has rejected a citizenship application from a burqa-wearing Moroccan woman on the grounds that she has "insufficiently assimilated" to French culture. Should cultural assimilation be a requirement for citizenship?
