We begin with an article about the 75th anniversary of the Kristallnacht (“Night of the Broken Glass”) in Germany and the sad realization that “the problems in Europe in 2013 are the same as in 1938,” and that then, as now, good people chose and choose “to look the other way.”
We discuss the attempts of the USA and others to strike a deal with Iran, while upsetting Israel. Commentators feel that “Israel and longtime ally the United States are as far apart as ever on how to deal with growing threats in the Middle East.”
We report on a planned meeting between Vladimir Putin and Pope Francis with potentially wide-ranging consequences; speak of the deteriorating relationship between Germany and the USA and Britain; focus on the curse of abortion; address the perhaps biggest storm in history which ever hit land, causing unspeakable devastation; and conclude with an interesting question, “What would happen if oxygen disappeared?”
