Cizmic Change
The Reverend Richard Cizik is on a mission. To talk to him is to encounter an energy and intensity that seem to spring from a divine source, and indeed, he sees his current efforts to put climate change back on the agenda of evangelicals during the 2012 U.S. presidential elections as part of his Christian duty.
A Long, Long Way to Walk in Myanmar
The victory of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and Myanmar dissident, in winning a seat in Parliament has indicated a rapid shift toward democratic reform in the country. But Zoya Phan, a longstanding advocate for the Karen ethnic group in Myanmar, is cautious about the developments.

Myanmar: A Long Way to Walk
Aung San Suu Kyi's victory in the last election has indeed indicated a rapid shift in Myanmar's leadership. President Thein Sein's new policy toward democratic reform may be a fresh beginning. But women like Zoya Phan are not so optimistic. She believes the global community must stay vigilant even in the face of the government's recent actions.

Do you think Israel will attack first?"
'Change,' What Change? -- Don't Believe the Hype About Iran's Election
While many pundits and politicians are hoping that the Iranian election will bring about that elusive and alluring phenomenon, change, thus implicitly or explicitly comparing it to the recent U.S. presidential election, it's worth pausing for a moment to remember the vast differences between the ways the two countries select their leaders.
