Newsworthy Online - Wednesday June 30, 2010
There is a great case to be made that Americas future is in the West. Prior to the War for Independence Philadelphias Benjamin Franklin found British policy toward the colonials to be incredulous because his own statistical study demonstrated that the British Empires demographic center would soon shift to North America. George Washingtons Mt. Vernon estate overlooked the Potomac River, what he believed to be the gateway to Americas future in the West.

The John Jay Institute - Facebook - Friday December 11, 2009
The leadership deficit is chronic. So, argues David Gergen, the Director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and former White House staffer for Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton. In a recent editorial for U.S. News and World Report, Gergen observes that the American crisis of confidence in leadership has been forty years in the making and that the problem is deeper than the quality of persons who come to power.

The Paradox of Public Service
Real Clear Politics - Tribune Media Services - Friday January 30, 2009
What if public service made you more selfish? It's a counterintuitive notion, to be sure. President Barack Obama, after all, has promised to make public service "a cause of my presidency" to help get the country back on its feet. He started things off with a national day of service, and he has many other organized programs on deck. Ironically, though, his notions of "public" and of "service" are both heavily responsible for the very selfishness he wants to eradicate.

Why Obama Must Go to Iraq
Walls Street Journal - Thursday June 5, 2008
Earlier this year, I spent five days in Iraq, walking the same streets in Baghdad where I had served two years earlier as an infantry platoon leader in the 101st Airborne Division. The visit reinforced for me not only the immense complexity of the war so often lost in our domestic political debate but also the importance of taking the time to visit Iraq to talk with the soldiers and Marines serving on the front lines in order to grasp the changing dynamics of a fluid battlefield.
