...possibility of EPA regulation of greenhouse gases than they do to a cap-and-trade bill. They say CO2 is far more prevalent than any other pollutant the EPA has ever attempted to regulate under the Clean Air Act and that top-down regulation would lay a heavy burden on U.S. business. "An endangerment finding from the EPA could result in a top-down command-and-control regime that will choke off growth by adding new mandates to virtually every major construction and renovation project," said U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas J.

Some experts worry that the stringent vetting and documentation processes may place an undue burden on labs that have painstakingly created human-embryonic-stem-cell lines using their own hard-earned private funds. (Researchers are still prohibited from using federal money to create new stem-cell lines because of a congressional ban on harming or destroying embryos.) According to some estimates, as many as 780 such lines may exist worldwide, but not all labs may be willing to subject themselves to the scrutiny and administrative hassle of registering their lines with the NIH. Even among the handful of stem-cell...

Countries like India and Pakistan will be able to better provide police training in Afghanistan than Denmark." (See pictures of Afghanistan's dangerous Korengal Valley...
...Since the days of Franklin Roosevelt and the service and sacrifice of our grandparents, our country has borne a special burden in global affairs. We have spilled American blood in many countries on multiple continents. We have spent our revenue to help others rebuild from rubble and develop their own economies. We have joined with others to develop an architecture of institutions - from the United Nations to NATO to the World Bank - that provide for the common security and prosperity of human beings...
