...counterfeit medicine. American researchers should not have to leave U.S. labs to conduct promising stem cell research abroad. By taking the scientific and moral initiative in stem cell research, U.S. society can act to prevent both. Regulated and clinically responsible research in U.S. labs will fill the research vacuum from which phony clinics benefit at present. The American people, and indeed the world, call on the U.S. government for a committed and realistic approach to one of the promising medical innovations of our time...
...will begin to ease. As silver linings go, it's a tempting explanation, both because it admits the current problems are in large part a result of U.S. failures - to devote sufficient resources to training the Iraqis; to recognize that dissolving Saddam's security forces would leave a security vacuum; even perhaps to heed the prewar advice of then Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki that stabilizing Iraq would require in the region of 300,000 troops - at the same time as offering a rationale for "staying the course...

...Because after the war, Iraq was left with no institutions. Army, military, police, intelligence--everything disappeared. So, of course, there was a vacuum. Outlaws, extremists, people take to the streets. This is what is happening. So I would not characterize this as Iraqis fighting Iraqis. We don't have Arabs fighting Kurds and Shi'ites fighting Sunnis.

This is something we're going to stand against...
