America’s interests should guide both the tone and substance of foreign policy. What so irks some foreign states is Bush’s directness in pursuing these interests—a directness that motivated his decisions to withdraw from the flawed Kyoto Protocol and to advocate missile defense...
Your coverage of global warming and the White House's opposition to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to cut carbon dioxide emissions was heartening [SPECIAL REPORT, April 9]. George W. Bush's decision is just the latest and perhaps the most serious in a string of setbacks on environmental issues that have come out of Washington. Bush and his colleagues should realize that without clean air and the right temperature to support life at all levels, a healthy economy won't be possible. Truly, our economic health depends on environmental health. JUDY MATA Hemet, Calif...
There is a lack of common sense in the global-warming debate. To reverse the warming trend, we don't just have to return to pre-1990 levels of greenhouse-gas emissions; we have to go back even further. The Kyoto Protocol was obsolete when it was drawn up. Without action, the rate of global warming will not be linear but exponential--the rate at which the planet is warming is increasing. We must control global population and cut back drastically on fossil-fuel use. From a global-warming perspective, the only light at the end of the tunnel...

Why not a new objective--to make the U.S. energy-independent within a decade, fully complying with the Kyoto Protocol in the process? President Bush has got to have vision!

...weeks ago, John Ashcroft announced a carefully designed viewing protocol for the execution: Given the scope of McVeigh's crime, 10 witnesses (rather than the usual eight) will join a few members of the press in watching McVeigh die. The execution will be shown live via closed-circuit television to a group of several hundred survivors and victims' family members gathered in Oklahoma City. The transmission and those who watch it will be carefully monitored (even cell phones will not be permitted) in an attempt to stave off entrepreneurs intent on hijacking the signal. Only those considered...
