From American Corespondent Kyle Brady… There’s a large number of citizens, interested parties, and pundits who have spoken on the success/failure of President Obama’s first term of office , usually with a clearly partisan divide. Republicans, and conservatives in general, tend to find great fault with anything, and everything, the President has done, on both [...]

From American Corespondent Kyle Brady… America has an education problem. It’s not that the United States doesn’t have an educational system or is somehow perennially cast as having an exorbitantly low IQ, but rather that the system itself is dysfunctional and not producing the results intended . For three decades, since the arrival of Ronald [...]

From American Corespondent Kyle Brady… The United States has a long history of self-interested international relations and foreign policy, which has lead to interesting results and situations often far from ideal – this has been especially true within the Middle Eastern, Northern Africa, and South Asia. For nearly the first two centuries of America’s existence, [...]

From American Corespondent Kyle Brady… Before the upcoming 2012 Presidential elections in America, the ultimate showdown between the chosen Republican and President Barack Obama, can occur, the GOP must first go through their primary – a primary where the most conservative of the base must be pandered to, followed by a walk-back toward common popularity.

The 2010 American midterm elections are over, and there’s important metaphorical tea leaves to read regarding the politics of the immediate, near, and semi-near future, especially in terms of electorate, legislative behavior, and the state of the nation. Republicans have taken the House of Representatives, by a strong majority, in addition to a few seats [...]

Given the high-stakes ideological wars being fought in modern American politics, and with such intense levels of rhetoric, it’s interesting to consider what the Presidential election of 2012 might look like. Three scenarios present themselves: an extension of the current situation, a Republican Congress for the coming two years (or at least half of Congress), [...]

NASA, for half a century, has existed as the sole agency, to both the American and international community, for space exploration and the development of related technologies. Despite this, however, it has fallen prey to the machinations of an obstructionist Congressional minority, like almost all other aspects of modern politics, and its very existence had [...]

Pakistan is, and always has been, stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place – it’s a nation trapped by a longtime enemy (India), an unstable regime (Iran), an unhinged region of ethnic and religious warfare (Afghanistan), and a disputed borderland (Kashmir). For two decades, Pakistan’s leaders, who are typically just public puppets of [...]

Much is said, and written, about the problems with modern conservatives: far-right, extremist, fundamentalist, Bible-beating, overtly religious, bigoted, etc. But what about the problems with liberals?
