The WTO verdict, revealed yesterday, simply affirms that the administration acted in accordance with U.S. WTO commitments—and leaves to others, such as myself, to conclude that the duties were a highly political act perpetrated with utter contempt for the significant economic and diplomatic costs of those actions.

There are “MS Societies” all over the world and, even here in America, each chapter runs things a little differently. Of course I know that not everyone has the same relationship with their chapter of the society.  I also have come to the understanding that some are vehemently opposed to these organizations. As I reviewed comments on the web about CCSVI I was taken aback to read that some of you were even calling for “war” against organizations (NMSS being one) who were conspiring to “keep us sick.” I do not think that this is a pervasive attitude but I thought it was time to check in on this topic. I’m not a member who thinks these societies are above reproach...

The opposite is also true, and Ireland models precisely how peace acts as the harbinger of prosperity.  In the late 1990’s Ireland focused on two goals peace and prosperity, according to Irish Ambassador… H.E. Sean O’Huiginn. Simply put – Ireland recognized their role to strike out for prosperity through peace, and in so doing, they became a global model for both. It was a deberate move. Ireland took powerful plans away from violence when they joined the European Union and the Euro – both plans for peace that also led to mighty prosperity. For the first time, people between northern Ireland and Ireland began to see one another as humans – with common needs in spite of thei...
