Many liberals support the fashionable solution of gun control However, any restriction on the ownership of weapons only functions to protect Merely outlawing all guns is neither practical not just No matter how many gun control laws are passed, criminals will still obtain weapons In addition, since even the staunchest firearm restriction does not completely trample on the Second Amendment simple handguns will always remain legal to obey the all laws in acquiring weapons, they would still be able to carry handguns And, if I'm not mistaken, even simple handguns are deadly.

...EVEN ITS STAUNCHEST ALLY COULD NO LONGER SUPport Cambodia's most violent guerrilla faction. China's vote last Monday made unanimous a Security Council resolution to proceed with national elections in May -- even though the Khmer Rouge will field no candidates. The decision apparently eliminates any chance for the Maoist group to be included in a coalition government, though no one can predict what will happen after the 20,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force leaves.

Even Congress's staunchest critic of executive pay, Michigan Senator Carl Levin, was impressed: "I'm elated. The SEC did the right thing for stockholders and the American public...
...fight against communism. From 1983 to 1989, for example, 12,316 refugees from Daniel Ortega's Nicaragua were welcomed by the U.S., and this year alone 2,000 Cubans have been granted permanent-resident status under an anti-Castro law passed in 1966. The U.S. has even criticized its staunchest allies when they tried to deport economic refugees from communist countries. On Oct. 17, George Bush fired off a letter to British Prime Minister John Major, reaffirming U.S. opposition to the forced repatriation of the 64,000 Vietnamese boat people who have sought refuge in Hong Kong until conditions...
