First it was Newsweek and now it's Time Magazine.  In the April 2 issue of Time, there are different cover stories for the US market and for the rest of the world.  The global editions report on the situation in Pakistan just next too Afghanistan entitled "The Truth About Talibanistan"

"...young religious extremists have overrun scores of towns and villages in the border areas, with the intention of imposing their strict interpretation of Islam on a population unable to fight back."

Readers here in America, on the other hand will be treated with the cover story entitled "The Case for Teaching the Bible."

Should the Holy Book be taught in public schools? Yes. It's the bedrock of Western culture. And when taught right, it's even constitutional.

Terrific! The Bible in schools - ironic the juxtaposition don't you think? 

Hmmm... could it be that marketing is getting in the way of the serious news in the U.S.? Or is the media afraid to tell Americans what they don't want to hear? Only Time can tell.
