2007-08-16T15:38:00.001-07:00

In the course of reporting this, did people ask you if you believe in God?Amanpour: They did. I always find it a difficult question. I'm born of a Catholic mother and a Muslim father and I'm married to a Jewish husband. So I have all of God's wonderful shapes in my DNA. It has helped me have an inclusive look at what religion is all about. I instinctively retreat from division. I don't want

Rosa Parks died yesterday at age 92. She became a famous inspirational woman when a small act of defiance spurred the civil rights movement in America in 1955. She is an American icon and I sincerely hope her legacy of courage for freedom and equality lives on.Meanwhile we have crossed a morbid milestone:2000 American Soldiers have lost their lives in Iraqmore than 15,000 have been woundedand an

A sand painting created by Tibetan monks is shown Friday, April 29, 2005, at the St. Louis Art Museum in St. Louis. On Sunday, after five days of work, the monks will destroy their creation. The process serves as a way for the Buddhists to meditate, work to spread blessing, and show the temporary nature of things in this world, even the beautiful ones. (Yahoo/AP Photo/James A. Finley)
