The next day, after a mystical hush engulfed Israel, with much of the population deep in prayer, Tehran said it fired medium-range missiles, capable of hitting Israel, as well as longer range ones, able to strike American positions in the Gulf. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1239124.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1239124.html Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT JERUSALEM -- On Sept. 11, 2009 -- just a few days ago -- Israel was attacked with Katyusha rockets fired across its northern border from Lebanon. The episode did not make a lot of headlines. Nobody died. Israelis breathed a little faster but continued life without any perceivable change. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1232388.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1232388.html Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT TEL AVIV -- It's official. Iran has delivered its response to Washington's open-minded, well-intentioned efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the nuclear crisis. Tehran's five-page letter amounts to a joke, a mockery of the West, a nose-thumbing at Barack Obama, the United States and the international community. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1205827.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1205827.html Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT How can a malicious piece of incompetent journalism morph into a diplomatic confrontation between two nations? It happens when the sloppy piece of work awakens memories of crimes committed across the centuries. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1197368.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1197368.html Sat, 22 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT The entire world has long enjoyed kicking back and watching what goes on in America. This year, those condemned to stay at home for their summer vacation have found much entertainment in the healthcare follies playing out in a land many see as alternating between inspirational, infuriating and just plain baffling. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1185464.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1185464.html Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Icould tell you stories.<p/> I could tell you stories of what I saw in Burma; stories of women holding their emaciated dying babies in their arms; stories of armed soldiers standing guard over teenage slave laborers building a highway under the broiling sun in 100-degree weather; stories of entire villages ordered to pack their bags and immediately move from their ancestral homes to desolated pieces of land. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1175213.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1175213.html Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT President Barack Obama deserves credit for keeping his promise to work for peace in the Middle East from the earliest days of his administration. Unfortunately, the results so far have proven less than encouraging. In fact, some recent trends look downright ominous. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1158879.html http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/frida-ghitis/story/1158879.html Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:00 EDT How will the story of Barack Obama's presidency end? Obama may leave audiences cheering and go down in history as one of the most successful presidents this country has ever had. But he may well end his time in office as one of the most disappointing leaders the world has seen.
