A Conservative's Guide to Responding to Libya

Alex Pareene, Salon
Are you a conservative pundit, elected official or presidential contender? Having trouble figuring out what you're supposed to say about this whole thing in Libya? Obama bad, sure. But Gadhafi also bad, and bombs good! What a conundrum!People in the press, on the Internet, and in the government are having a serious and passionate debate about the merits, goals, legality and morality of the bombing campaign -- but that whole "nuance" thing is best left to Democrats, French people and other effete non-Americans. Conservatives need a stark, binary black-and-white approach to every...

Why Libya and Not Darfur, Yemen or Syria?

David Harsanyi, Denver Post
Contrary to pithy bumper-sticker truisms, war is occasionally the answer. But can anyone explain why it's the answer now?

Erin McPike, RealClearPolitics
A funny thing happened to Salt Lake City environmental activist Lynn de Freitas after a new conservative Republican took Utah's top office in 2005 in what is probably the most conservative state in the union: She began getting traction on her pet issue, which is preserving and protecting the ecosystem of the Great Salt Lake.Lynn de Freitas is executive director of Friends of Great Salt Lake. The new governor was Jon Huntsman, who had emerged from a crowded GOP primary in part by being shrewd enough to persuade popular Lt. Gov.

Japan Crisis Sparks Nuclear Waste Questions In U.S.

Finding a permanent storage site for it is more of a political challenge than a financial one. The Obama administration scuttled a plan to store the waste underground in Nevada at Yucca Mountain. Other options, such as dry cask storage, aren't seen as a permanent solution. The administration recently formed a panel to review waste storage options; a final report is due in about two years.
