...final word on foreign policy: beware those candidates who speak glowingly, uncritically about multilateralism. Clearly, a new era of international cooperation is necessary, given the rise of viral nonstate threats like terrorism, global warming, transnational criminal gangs and corporate powers, and actual viruses like hiv. But the failure of our NATO allies to fulfill their military quotas in Afghanistan raises a real question about which if any countries will be ready to stand with the U.S. when military action is necessary-a difficult problem for the next President...
...Fares would also likely rise if airlines are forced to compensate passengers for a breach of contract or make up for more canceled flights.

Though still officially undeclared, Thompson gets about 12% of the vote in primary-poll matchups...
...down illegal immigration, you could induce a recession in the U.S. A better idea might be to help Mexico create more jobs that pay better. A recent Council on Foreign Relations study found that when Mexican wages drop 10% relative to U.S. wages, attempts to cross the border illegally rise 6%. As complex and corrupt as the Mexican economy is, we ignore it at our peril...
