Unfortunately, most members of Congress and state and local officials aren't aware of the most horrific of crimes -- child trafficking. I recently met briefly with U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who is renown for being an effective workhorse in Congress, and briefed her on the severity of the crisis, which surprised her.
I am grateful that during President Obama's recent trip to Japan he refrained from apologizing to the Japanese people for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
I was offended by the Nov. 15 editorial regarding suspended Miami City Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones, which virtually convicted the woman.
The Nov. 17 article Trips off course? on the International Trade Consortium's (ITC) globe-trotting ways, points out that the agency had a grand total of five appointments for county business professionals with their foreign counterparts while traveling overseas in 2007-2008. No wonder they stopped quantifying the results of their questionable ``trade missions'' in 2005.
I am a bit perplexed by the Nov. 15 Home & Design feature on Gil Dezer. Why did he let you photograph his real Porsche prominently displayed on his wall, but not the neon sign above his head flashing the word hubris for all of Miami to see?
