A Child's ABCs of Terrorism
By Steve Perry, City Pages
OK, will someone please explain all this nonsense to me like I'm a child. 'A is for Al Qaeda and amnesia. Are you old enough to remember when the war on terror was being fought against people who actually attacked us? ... B is for Bush and Bin Laden. They hate each other, but they could never be the same without each other -- just like lots of mommies and daddies!' Ah yes, now I understand. -- Jacob Wheeler

Bollywood Lesbians
By Mimi Hanaoka, InTheFray

Bollywood director Karan Razdan's latest film, Girlfriend, about possessiveness and envy tearing apart a lesbian couple when one woman runs off with a man, prompted right-wing groups to protest a matinee screening in Bombay and set a theater on fire in Varanasi. -- Jacob Wheeler
