The murder of Margaret Hassan shocked the world. And the Iraqis too. Here is an article from the Jordan Times that takes you onto the streets of Baghdad to hear what Iraqis have to say .

Ever wondered how India views President George Bush? Or what is Lebanon's take on world terrorism? This site, called Project Syndicate , is an association of 225 newspapers in 107 different countries, and provides viewpoints and thoughts from distinguished voices from around the world.

In his column  in this week's Guardian, British journalist and history professor Timothy Garton Ash travels to America's "blue states" and draws some uncomfortable parallels to Europe.
