By Austin Bay (Archive) · Wednesday, March 23, 2011 Stopping mass murder in Libya requires regime change. The first step toward achieving modern stability in Libya — not the brittle and brutal false stability of tyranny — is regime change. The international coalition (yes, that Iraq word again, coalition) now aiding Libya’s rebels is pursuing [...]
By Terence Jeffrey (Archive) · Wednesday, March 23, 2011 Leave aside for a moment whether it was wise for President Obama to order our military to intervene in Libya’s civil war, siding with rebels we know little about against a dictator who has sponsored terrorism against us. A more fundamental question comes first: Did Obama [...]

The war’s namesake — Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey” — [...]
Mar 22, 2011 IBD Hypocrisy: A Missouri senator up for re-election is the latest administration crony to overlook or avoid paying all her taxes. Funny, they have no problem raising them on or collecting them from the rest of us. If you ever wonder how we could find ourselves $14 trillion in debt and sinking [...]
Mar 22, 2011 IBD Islamofascism: The media sold the Cairo riots as the birth pangs of “democracy” in the Mideast. Egyptians want “freedom,” we were told. But their version of freedom means voting in Islamic law. Over the weekend, 77% of Egyptians approved constitutional amendments drafted in part by the radical Muslim Brotherhood. As we [...]
Mar 22, 2011 IBD Jurisprudence: Polls show that more than one in five Americans worry that Shariah law will creep into our courts, as it has in Europe. A Tampa judge’s deferral to the Quran only compounds those fears. Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Richard Nielsen earlier this month ordered the use of Islamic law in [...]
Mar 22, 2011 IBD Leadership: Obama critics were quick to link U.S. loans for Brazil oil to benefits for his investor pal George Soros. There was no link in this case, but considering how this president operates, it’s no wonder suspicions ran high. The president’s announcement that his administration would lend billions of dollars to [...]

Feds push kiddy car-seat use for adolescents By THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Washington Times 6:45 p.m., Tuesday, March 22, 2011 Federal safety bureaucrats want kids tied up and enclosed “for as long as possible” when traveling by automobile. The new child car-seat guidelines handed down Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) expand [...]
