Making the news
"By any measure, our single-minded and open-ended focus on Iraq is not a sound strategy for keeping America safe. As president, I will make the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be," Obama said. "This is a war that we have to win. "
Barack Obama
The Democratic presidential candidate was setting out his views on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, ahead of a planned trip to the two countries.

    Memphis Sun
    We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Memphis news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

    This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Memphis Sun is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Memphis.

    We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Memphis weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Memphis Sun is for you.

    Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
