Should Israel Attack Iran? Panel I: International Law
Iran’s nuclear weapons development continues apace, threatening the security of its neighbors and the international community. As the debate intensifies over how to respond most effectively to Iran’s provocations, it is timely to explore the strategic and legal parameters of a potential Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic and provide some thorough analysis about implications for the United States. The speakers in Panel I considered the international legal aspects of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear installations. What treaties are relevant? How might Iran retaliate against Israel, the United States, or other countries? Would an Israeli attack violate international law? Or would it be legitimate self-defense?

"We told the world the truth we have learned from the noble tradition of Western culture, and that is that the only answer to poverty, to war, to oppression is one simple word: freedom. Now, freedom is not only a moral imperative for our foreign policy, it is also--if I may use a word for which few in this room have m...uch use--supremely pragmatic. For if there is anything the world has learned in the 1980s, it is that, as Alan Keyes has said, freedom works."

"The insistence that developing nations make credible commitments to
emissions reductions has been a core conservative principle on climate;
seeing Obama pick up that torch is encouraging—it is vital to crafting
any true, effective global agreement—but it remains to be seen whether
any combination of pressure and persuasion will be sufficient to strike
a deal on those terms."

"The fiscal sustainability of President
Obama's health plan depends on sweeping reforms and cuts to Medicare
physician payments that are both flawed and politically impossible.

competitive market for supplemental insurance, would be a more prudent
and pra...ctical way to reform Medicare. Allowing patients to exercise
greater control over their medical care would help achieve greater cost

"Officers in Afghanistan ruefully observe that you can't have an
ink-spot strategy without enough ink. A half-surge would increase the
amount of ink, but Afghanistan is a large and dry piece of paper;
McChrystal Lite would make it hard to connect the dots. It would also
be hard to synchronize the effort with the nascent co...unterinsurgency
campaign in Pakistan. It's good news that the Pakistani Army is pushing
into South Waziristan, but unless there is pressure across the border
in Khost and greater Paktia, the likelihood of Pakistan advancing
against the Haqqanis is negligible."

A clever commander like McChrystal and the capable troops he leads will no doubt figure out how to make the most of what they have got. But a half-surge would seem to cut their prospects of winning by more than half.

"Despite misguided foreign pressure, Hondurans insisted that any

"With a promise to restart the economy by providing needed demand in a faltering economy, Congress delivered the stimulus bill to the president’s desk less than a month after his inauguration, a legislatively impressive feat. Unfortunately, as the hard evidence about the bill starts to accumulate, it is clear that the ...legislation has done little thus far to help get workers back to work. Looking forward with a goal of creating jobs, lawmakers need to reexamine the stimulus bill and ask if there is any reason to hope that it will perform better in the year ahead."

"The health-care debate is part of a moral struggle currently being played out over the free enterprise system.
