In his letter, Sept. 21, Phillip Webber Sr. defends President Bush's decision to wage war in Iraq, and asserts that, in fact, it was the Democratic presidents of the last century who led the U.S. into many unprovoked conflicts. Webber has, at best, a weak grasp of modern history. For example, he chastises FDR for declaring war on Germany in 1941 because Japan had been the aggressor. In fact, Germany declared war on the U.S., in response to America's declaration of war on Japan (Germany and Japan had a pact).
Responding to polls that show a majority of Americans dissatisfied with Obamacare, Congressional Republicans are committed to repealing the bill. This is good: The people are right that Obamacare will increase costs while putting the federal government in charge of medical decisions. But Americans dissatisfied with the Democrats' federal takeover of health care have reason to doubt whether the Republicans have the political will to provide a real alternative. Their performance in the last 14 years leads to skepticism. In 1996, Newt Gingrich's first term as speaker, the House of Representatives passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by a vote of 421-2, with even Nancy Pelosi on board. The Senate passed it unanimously by 98-0. HIPAA was a triumph of biparti...

The United States and Mexico did not continue the close collaboration as during World War II; but, homeland defense (HLD)2 and homeland security (HLS)3 once again became top priorities for both governments in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.4 As such, on 23 March 2005, Canada, Mexico and the United States became partners via the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, demonstrating multi-lateral cooperation for the economic prosperity, freedom and the safety and well being of our people. 6 Hence, as two sovereign powers, the governments of the United States and Mexico have the authority to make war or peace, to form treaties of alliance or commerce with foreign nations and maintain control over their territories.7 In so doing, military operations are merel...

Nearly 66 million artillery shells containing chemical weapons were fired during World War I. At least 40 different compounds were weaponized for use on the battlefield.2 Now, nearly a century later, hundreds of World War I- and World War II-era shells are recovered annually from the European battlefields, mostly in Belgium and France.3 Nor is the concrete legacy of chemical warfare confined to Europe. Typically, approximately 5-10 percent of the total have been found to be chemical weapons munitions.14 China Japan's World War li-era occupation of China has left a large legacy of chemical weapons.\n Usability guidelines are currently implemented acrarding to two secretariat papers from 2000 on a case-by-case basis.24 The principal difficulty associated with agreeing on the declaration ...
