- NATO and Missile Defense: Words in a Summit Declaration Will Not Be Enough May 18, 2012When NATO leaders meet this weekend in Chicago, they are expected to announce an Interim Missile Defense Capability in Europe. This announcement might read well in the summit’s declaration, but a lot more will need to be done before the members of the alliance will be protected from the ever-increasing missile threat. According to NATO’s strategic concept, “ […]Luke Coffey
- NATO Summit 2012: Without New Investment by Europeans, NATO’s Future Is in Doubt May 18, 2012At the NATO Summit in Chicago this weekend, leaders will gather to discuss a number of issues facing the alliance. Top of the agenda will be Afghanistan, improving NATO’s military capabilities, and extending NATO’s partnerships with regional and global partners. However, nothing agreed at the summit will matter if America’s European allies do not start spend […]Luke Coffey
- Iran’s Queasiness with Western Values Continues May 18, 2012In case anyone was unconvinced about Iran’s hostility toward everything associated with Western values, recent provocations leave no doubt. After blocking the Olympics website, refusing to admit a Davis Cup tennis player, and slandering the Olympic logo for being “racist,” Iran’s latest flaunt is its threat to sue Google. Why? Because Google maps has no labe […]David Weinberger
- Pawlenty and Boehner Agree: Stop Taxmageddon Now May 18, 2012Former Governor Tim Pawlenty (R–MN), national co-chair of the Romney for President campaign, appeared on CNBC yesterday and chastised President Obama for failing to lead on stopping Taxmageddon before the November election. Pawlenty is right: Washington should stop Taxmageddon now. Heritage has been saying just that for weeks. Speaker of the House John Boehn […]Curtis Dubay
- HSAs Could Bring Health Costs Down; Too Bad Obamacare Destroys Them May 18, 2012Consumer-directed health plans have become increasing popular because of their ability to save consumers money. Breaking research published by Health Affairs shows that if consumer-directed health plans increased as a share of employer-sponsored plans from 12.4 percent to 50 percent, it could save $57.1 billion annually in national health expenditures. The r […]Alyene Senger
- Left-Wing Environmentalists Solicit ‘Conservative and Libertarian’ Policies May 18, 2012An effort funded by a major left-wing environmentalist group is looking to appeal to conservative and libertarian thinkers through an initiative that proposes center-right solutions to environmental problems. The Meridian Institute’s “Twelve Big Ideas for 2012″ is funded by the Environmental Defense Fund, a group that uses its massive lobbying footprint – it […]Lachlan Markay
- Cuban Solidarity Plus May 18, 2012Cuban Solidarity Day should make us renew efforts to extend a little more freedom to the Cuban population, which is still effectively imprisoned under their creaky Communist autocracy. May 20 marks the 110th year of Cuba’s independence, of which 53 long years have been spent under the Castro brothers’ dictatorship. Public events such as The Heritage Foundati […]Helle Dale
- Opportunity to Showcase Long-Term Commitment to Afghanistan May 18, 2012The long-awaited NATO Summit being held in Chicago next week with more than 60 heads of state and government in attendance will focus much of its deliberations on the future of Afghanistan. While “transition” has become a buzzword for the NATO mission in Afghanistan, the U.S and NATO Commander in Afghanistan General John Allen is rightly focusing instead on […]Lisa Curtis
- Morning Bell: America’s Antique Air Force May 18, 2012America’s flying fortress, the Cold War-era B-52 bomber, has been in service for the last 50 years, running missions in Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. It’s a striking example of how America’s military is being forced to do more with less, relying on decades-old technology to confront today’s challenges. Unfortunately, the B […]Mike Brownfield
- PODCAST: Jonah Goldberg on ‘The Tyranny of Cliches’ May 17, 2012In a special Heritage podcast, political commentator and author Jonah Goldberg discusses his new book, The Tyranny of Cliches, How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas. Click here to listen. How does one respond to the cliche that it’s better that 10 guilty men go free than one innocent man be put in jail? Do both the left and right employ cliches equally? Why […]David Weinberger
