What is wrong with the term "Islamo-Facism"?
Read this article from The Nation to find out. It expresses everything that I had wished to articulate on the matter, only much more eloquently.
Speaking of politics, I have been given the homework assignment to write a composition on a political, not social issue. Having done quite a few political essays for previous assignments, does anyone have any good ideas that do not involve the war in Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea, Russia and how it strategically uses its petroleum resources, the Yemeni presidential elections, or Israel? Now bear in mind that this topic must be appropriate for Yemen, and must not involve me arguing a point of view that would get me in trouble with the Yemeni government.
In other news, I have finally replaced the ugly, tacky, filthy bits of masking tape containing penned in Arabic letters with real laptop keyboard arabic letter decals. If you've ever seen my computer, you know the ones. I now have a much cleaner laptop, and look forward to many happy months of Arabic typing. Until I get a new laptop.

Salaam,
Maybe you could write your paper on the plight of street children/vulnerable children in Yemen. Their is a great site if you put into the blogger search: Yemen street children. The political area would be policies and conventions that the Yemeni government have signed onto. I have an article about children being trafficed from Yemen to Saudi on my site: www.ovcs.blogspot.com. Also, on mysite you'll be able to link to other articles about street children. I hope this was of some benefit to you!
Salaam
