The big news this week is that America has handing sovereignty over the interim Iraqi government, which will be in the global spotlight like none in history. Opponents of the administration (including the AP) will look for every negative and broadcast it to the world, but peace-loving people across the globe should be cheering for [...]

I don’t know if any of you remember that old song that goes… “what the world, needs now, is love, sweet love…”? Sure, it’s a bit on the sappy side but I think the sentiment is true. The Church of Fools has launched a virtual church where the message is all about love. It’s a [...]
