It's
a flat world, after all
In 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail for India, going west. He never did find India, but he called the people he met ’’Indians’’ and came home and reported to his king and queen: ’’The world is round.’’
THOMAS FRIEDMAN set off for India 512 years later. He went east. He had Lufthansa business class, and came home and reported only to
his wife ’’The world is flat.’’ That's what globalization is doing to
the world

Guarding Pakistan’s nuclear estate
After exerting pressure behind the scenes on Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf, the US has quietly accepted his explanation that all proliferation acts were the responsibility of one man, Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan’s atomic bomb, and lent its blessings to Khan being pardoned and kept under house arrest in Pakistan.
That stand has slowly begun to change. US officials are now talking about
extremist Islamic politcians taking over once Musharaff is out of power. By
