The Golden Rule Applicable to Foreign Policy. (http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/19112/the-golden-rule-applicable-to-foreign-policy)
The Golden Rule now gets booed in the Bible Belt. Two weeks ago, during a debate in South Carolina, presidential candidate Ron Paul stated, “If another country does to us what we do to others, we’re not going to like it very much. So I would say that maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don’t do to other nations what we don’t want them to do to us.” Before he could finish speaking, Paul was practically booed off the stage.
The other column running in today's paper is semi-good. Author is dead-wrong on Libya, but it is nice to see college kids calling for reduced military spending.
Cuts to Defense Spending Needed. (http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/19111/cuts-to-defense-spending-needed/p1)
Panetta’s job, in particular, is not easy, but someone has to do it. The Pentagon — regardless of your feelings on the commitment American troops make to this country — should not be exempt from fiscal decisions on the basis of fear or even patriotism. We simply cannot afford that any more.
