...morning after the education reform bill finally made it out of conference committee after five months of often bitter negotiations, three of the bill's original architects, Democratic senators Mary Landrieu, Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh, took a few minutes to gloat. Over danishes and coffee they called the bill "revolutionary," "a quantum leap" and "the real thing."

Only if we stand for honesty, uprightness and generosity of spirit can we expect the world to bear our standard against terrorist-supporting regimes. Bayh and McCain were right when they wrote, “Public service is a virtue.” Now, more than ever, it is a virtue to do public service abroad...
