I honestly don't know but if America continues to refuse to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions I see a bleak future not only for American society but for the world as a whole. This is a global problem that is not going away and the United States is an obstacle to solving it.

President Obama has offered a plan with 4 trillion dollars in debt reduction over a decade with two and a half dollars of spending reductions for every one dollar of revenue increases and tight controls on future spending. It's the kind of balanced approach proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission.

Our combat mission is ending but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.

I am proud to represent these men and women who empower people in developing nations and promote the Peace Corps mission of peace and friendship. These volunteers are making major strides to improve the lives of people and communities around the world.

The second one the joint Truth and Friendship Commission which we started now with Indonesia that is the one that has been criticized its terms of reference call for providing amnesty for those who cooperate in telling the truth. It does not lead to prosecution.

Friendship like love is destroyed by long absence though it may be increased by short intermissions.

If you ask me to summarise our mission I would put it this way: We were a military regime that sought to lay the foundations for freedom and liberty in a complex society.

Carry out the republican principle of universal suffrage or strike it from your banners and substitute 'Freedom and Power to one half of society and Submission and Slavery to the other.'

They know the importance of their mission and of America's commitment to combating and defeating terrorism abroad and they know that they are making a real difference in bringing freedom to a part of the world that has known only tyranny.

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose and that is the path of surrender or submission.

The things the writers have me doing on 'Suburgatory' are insane. I think they think it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost and was found is saved from being lost again.

We were told this war would be over in a matter of weeks and that the Iraqis would be able to finance it with oil sales. We were promised it was not a mission of nation building.

Part of the reason that the government's fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.

Although I am deeply grateful to a great many people I forgo the temptation of naming them for fear that I might slight any by omission.

As we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our presence actually liberates others.

Christians must share their faith in obedience to the Great Commission because we are only seeing the fruit of sin this side of death.

Our ministry is supported entirely by faith through the missions gifts of readers who receive my messages every three weeks. We seldom mention money and we never burden supporters.

A mission is a place where you ask nonbelievers to come and find faith and hope and feel love.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise diplomacy included which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public hence ultimately of failure.

Has Bill Clinton inspired idealism in the young as he himself was inspired by John F. Kennedy? Or has he actually reduced their idealism? Surely part of the answer lies in Clinton's personal moral lapse with Monica Lewinsky. But more important was his sin of omission - his failure to embrace a moral cause beyond popularity.
