Be aware that Wikipedia has similar bias on most topics relating to health and national policy.] National Post Posted 2010 Oct 16 (Cached)
US Attorney General Eric Holder announced he will enforce federal law against marijuana even if California legalizes it. [This is a 10th Amendment issue because the feds rely on local law enforcement to make drug busts. A hidden issue is that, if marijuana is legalized, it would open the door to growing industrial hemp that would compete with many products now controlled by international corporations. They will fight that, of course, in the name of limiting street drugs. There is much more involved than legalization of Pot.] WSJ 2010 Oct 16 (Cached)

US relations with Pakistan are precarious because of the rising possibility that Islamic extremists could capture the government, which has full nuclear-weapon capability. [We are publishing this editorial because of the severity of the threat, but we caution our readers that the author feels the solution is to send more money to the Pakistani government and increase our military presence there. We believe that the primary reason we have such dangerous enemies is that we already have sent too much money to too many governments and have such a large military presence around the globe that it is perceived as a threat. Our best course is to stop intervening in the affairs of other nations, bring our troops home, maintain a strong military for defense only, and heal our economy so we once again can become good neighbors and trading partners.] Personal Liberty 2010 Oct 13 (Cached)
