The New
Revolutionary
By Elham
Gheytanchi
Women lead
the protests
in the
aftermath of
the
controversial
presidential
election
earlier this
summer in
Iran. In a
country
where 62
percent of
all
university
attendees
are women
and an
overwhelming
majority of
the
population
is young,
young women

A Giant Leap
for Future
Generations
By Frank
Wolf
As the
nation
commemorated
the 40th
anniversary
of the
Apollo 11
moon landing
this summer,
and
astronaut
Buzz Aldrin
called for
the kind of
investments
it will take
to bring
America’s
space
program back
to the moon
and beyond,
I couldn’t
help but
think about
how far..........MORE

Keeping TARP
Transparent
By
Mel Martinez
A government
working, as
President
Abraham
Lincoln
said, “by
the people,
for the
people,” is
part of what
has always
made our
nation
unique. As
such,
Americans
want and
deserve to
know how
their taxes
are spent.
Whether
Congress
spends one
dollar or $1
trillion of
taxpayer.....MORE |
Ileana's
Cause
By Ileana
Ros-Lehtinen
Too often we
in the
United
States take
freedom and
the rule of
law for
granted and
give little
thought to
the need for
their
defense.
Yet the
liberties we
assume are
far from
secure in
many other
countries,
especially
in our own
Hemisphere,
where a
growing.............MORE

Why
Democracy
Matters
By
Condoleezza
Rice
As I look
through the
difficult
and critical
circumstances
in which we
find
ourselves,
I’m quite
convinced
that when
times are
hard the
most
important
thing you
can do is to
go back to
first
principles,
go back to
your values,
go back to
what guides
you – the
lodestar.............MORE |
Securing Our
Future
By
John Bruton
This year
marks an
important
anniversary
for the
European
Union.
Twenty years
ago, the
Berlin Wall
fell,
opening the
door to
freedom for
countries
previously
smothered
beneath the
Iron
Curtain, and
marking the
beginning of
the end of
both the
Cold War..............MORE

To Russia
with Hope
(...and
little else)
By
David Satter
President
Obama’s
visit to
Moscow July
6-8 did not
result in
serious
agreements,
but it
changed the
tone of
U.S.–
Russian
relations.
Whether or
not this is
a good
thing,
however, is
very much
open to
doubt. Obama
made a
serious
attempt to
befriend the
Russian
leaders.....MORE |

H20=Health,
Hope and
Opportunity
By
Carolyn
Crowley Meub
The
definition
of insanity,
according to
Albert
Einstein, is
doing the
same thing
over and
over again
and
expecting it
to have
different
results. If
we continue
to do what
we’ve always
done in
Haiti, we
will always
get what
we’ve always
gotten – not
a good
return on............MORE |
Minivan Moms
and the GOP
By
Christine L.
Matthews
They’ve been
called
soccer moms,
minivan
moms, and
security
moms, and
2010 may
bring yet
another
moniker for
married
women with
children.
But however
they may be
branded,
there is one
label that
increasingly
doesn’t fit
them:
Republican.
In 2004,
this....MORE

Flight of
the
Centrists
By Christine
Todd Whitman
Even long
honeymoons
come to an
end.
Now six months
into his term as
President,
Barack Obama’s
long-enjoyed
popularity is
starting to show
signs of wear.
Recent polls
show his
approval
rating
slowly
declining,
and dipping
below 50%
for the
first time
in his
presidency.............MORE |
