Re: the new Vietnam:
Americans should pay close attention to the path President Obama chooses in Afghanistan, since his decision will prove critical to America's national security interests, write Heritage Foundation experts Lisa Curtis and James Phillips.
"There appears to be some wishful thinking within the Obama Administration regarding the U.S's ability to negotiate a political solution with the Taliban," write Curtis and Phillips. But negotiations have yet to work with al-Qaeda and Taliban, who are now more unified than ever by their anti-Western aims. As Henry Kissinger wrote in Newsweek, "even so-called realists -- like me -- would gag at a tacit U.S. cooperation with the Taliban in the governance of Afghanistan."
RE: amnesty for illegals:
Aware that granting amnesty to lawbreakers may provoke a strong reaction, President Obama and one of the bill's key authors, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have decided to keep it under wraps until the new year. In fact, the administration is drafting the legislation itself behind closed doors, rather than in the usual Congressional committees. That means Congressmen won't even see the "hundreds of pages of complicated legislative language" until the bill is brought to the floor.
"After witnessing the firestorm over health reform, Obama apparently has decided never to go down that 'let Congress lead' route again," explains Carafano. This means the proposal won't reflect Congressional debate -- including input from those skeptical of granting amnesty -- but instead will reflect only the President's priorities.
