The last time the U.S. issued one of these was in September 2002, after 9/11 but before the invasion of Iraq, so observers have been waiting to see if perhaps the administration has changed its mind about anything in the wake of the very tough slog U.S. troops continue to face in Iraq...

Parts of it are running with great success, but the Institute lacks a diverse community of students regularly engaging in real political debate. Encouraging this, more than a how-to guide on the slippery slog into office, would really inspire students to public service...
