The 3rd and final Presidential debate

Barack Obama and John McCain are set to face each other in the final televised debate before the US presidential poll.

What are your expectations? Will this debate be the non-debate we have seen with the former two debates? Will John McCain get the win he is looking for and, according to some, he needs?

Please add your thoughts to this post….over to you.

On air: Is it time for Christians to defend themselves?

We’ve talked in the past on World Have Your Say about religions like Islam feeling they are under attack or being persecuted, but now Christians across the world feel increasingly threatened after a wave of attacks in recent months.
