Nicholas D. Kristof
We tie ourselves in knots when we act as if democracy is good for the United States and Israel but not for the Arab world. For far too long, we've treated the Arab world as just an oil field.

Secular bleeding hearts and religious bleeding hearts will have to forge a common cause.

In general, talking about human rights tends to be very persuasive for people who care about human rights.

Look, we'll have to confront the pathologies of poverty at some point. We can deal with them cheaply at the front end, in infancy. Or we can wait and jail a troubled adolescent at the tail end. To some extent, we face a choice between investing in preschools or in prisons.
