Evaluating Paul Ryan’s Budget Proposal
On Tuesday, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan is expected to put out his 2012 proposed budget resolution. Ryan’s plan reportedly will propose overhauling Medicare and Medicaid and rolling back discretionary spending to 2006 levels. Cato scholar Daniel J. Mitchell is encouraged by what he’s heard: “Ryan’s proposals would simultaneously address the long-run threat of bloated government and put in place tax policies that will boost growth and improve competitiveness.”

Libya: Compounding Our Power Problem
When the U.S. military is assigned a mission intended to serve national security, the right to intervene inheres in the U.S.’s responsibility to defend this country, our people and our way of life. But Washington has adopted too loose a definition of national interest. And as Christopher A. Preble points out, “By launching a war of choice against Libya, President Barack Obama perpetuates the unrealistic expectation that U.S. troops will be deployed on missions that have no plausible connection to national security interests.”

Afghanistan massacre: Is Terry Jones to blame?
The Week – Mon Apr 4, 6:35 am ET
New York – At least 22 people were killed by a mob in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, on Friday and Saturday, including seven United Nations workers and four guards. The murderous rioting was tied to Florida pastor Terry Jones, who made international news last fall by threatening to burn a Koran on September 11. This March 20, he made good on his threat and, though the event was sparsely attended and ignored by the U.S. media, video of the Koran burning slowly gained an audience in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries. Jones has said the killings aren’t his fault. But can he wash his hands so easily? Full Story »
