Fast forward fifty-two years and it’s obvious things haven’t changed all that much, as demonstrated by Mississippi governor Phil Bryant’s signing of House Bill 1523. Disingenuously disguised as a “religious (...)

Another thirty kilometers away from Erbil, there is no more Peshmerga. On our right, there is a deserted road (...)
