President Obama has changed the United States government’s rhetoric towards Iran - but what does that actually mean for foreign policy in the Middle East?

The past few weeks have produced positive results in the fight against the global proliferation of HIV/AIDS.

The war between Hamas, a radical Islamist group based in Gaza, and Israel has continued for several weeks: why?

These past few months have made it abundantly clear that the financial crisis is being felt around the world. Countries that have seen unprecedented financial gains in the past two decades are now struggling to keep their economies afloat. Developing nations who were the beneficiaries of an open global economy are now bankrupt. The world's poorest nations are left with no one offering them a helping hand.

Very few countries have been subjected to biased U.S. media coverage like Venezuela has.

There is a source that people might not think to look at for up-to-date coverage of an international conflict: Facebook.

I had the privilege of going to D.C. yesterday to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Instead of rehashing the details of his speech, as many have done already, I want to talk about something I think the media has not emphasized enough: the crowd.

Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted on Friday and charged with 12 counts of felony theft, perjury, office misconduct and fraud. No, she didn't try to sell a United States Senate seat (that's a shout out to you, Rod), but it's still a big deal.

I know, it seems shocking. Look at the health statistics in the city of Baltimore - fifth highest overall mortality rate, second highest homicide rate, fourth highest infant mortality rate, third in low birth weight rankings... and the clincher: second highest AIDS and HIV rates, at a whopping 40.4% and 50.5%, respectively. Oh, and years of neglect and corruption in the City Health Department. How could the Baltimore City Health Commissioner be improving the situation?

It is ludicrous to think that, almost 30 years after the AIDS epidemic swept through the country, the U.S. government could still let people at risk for HIV, and people who are newly infected with HIV, fall through the cracks. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case.

Inadequate access to health care is a problem plaguing this nation's communities. In light of that fact, it was discouraging that no keynote speakers at the DNC or RNC managed to discuss this problem in a meaningful way in their speeches. Those at the DNC do get some credit for discussing the problem of inadequate health insurance coverage in the U.S., but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Where is the discussion of inadequate access to care, and the health disparities that follow from it, among our country's leaders?
