I was proud to witness American Jewish organizations found the Save Darfur Coalition in June 2004 to mobilize a coordinated interfaith response to the ongoing humanitarian disaster.

As a Jew I cannot sit idle while genocidal atrocities continue to unfold in Darfur, Sudan.

Plan Colombia was supposed to reduce Colombia's cultivation and distribution of drugs by 50 percent, but 6 years and $4.7 billion later, the drug control results are meager at best.

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.
