		I cannot agree with Jeffrey T. Kuhner, who, in the June 21 Op-Ed article "Puerto Rico, 51st state?" argues that "the question of Puerto Rican statehood should be left to the residents of the island." Yes, the people of Puerto Rico have the right to self-determination.

		Israel and the United States need to confidently declare the superiority of their political systems, not in a chauvinistic sense, but because freedom, capitalism, and democracy are ideas that are adaptable to any society.
		The New Testament Book of Acts clearly states that the covenant between the Almighty and the Jewish people was and remains "forever" which means that, putting aside the question of the divinity of Jesus, the Jew is not required to accept Jesus as the Messiah to be saved.
		The State of Israel represents the fulfillment of the sovereign rights of the Jewish people to determine their own destiny in that tiny strip of desert promised to them by the King of the Universe.

		State is the celluloid version of the rave drug of choice, ecstasy -- superficial, devoid of substance or deeper thought, and you'll immediately feel empty after watching it.
		State has going for it is director Ronny Yu (The Bride with White Hair), who showcases a wealth of camera tricks and never allows the film to get boring.
		For those who cares, the movie's title not only refers to Elmo's name for his drug, but also to the English notion of England as the 51st state of the United States (that is, a colony of America).

		That makes four former Secretaries of State, one former National Security Adviser, two former Secretaries of Defense, a former Secretary of the Treasury, a former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, a former Director of the CIA, and three Senators.
		We know from Donald Rumsfeld's division of Europe into "old" and "new", as well as from the subsequent confirmation that US troops are to be re-located from Germany to South-East Europe, that US policy is indeed now to counter-balance a resurgent Franco-German axis by bolstering new satrapies in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
		Hain demanded that foreign policy remain a matter for national sovereignty, and that all European initiatives be subject to a national veto.

		Many in the Philippines feel that becoming a U.S. state would be preferable to the rampant cronyism, corruption, bribe-taking and favoritism displayed by many of their current leadership and poverty that pervades many of the islands.
		I believe the Philippines should be admitted as three separate states, based on culture and geography, so as not to overwhelm the U.S. Congress with a sudden influx of 140 representatives in the House of Representatives from one state.
		The United States will also greatly benefit in having the Philippines a state of the U.S. because of the rich natural resources which could potentially be developed with modern technologies.
