Eric Cantor's Foreign-Policy Ideas Would Consign Us to Perpetual War
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor gave a
speech last week the Virginia Military Institute
that left little doubt about his foreign-policy
agenda: more wars of choice.
The speech led with the observation that Cantor
belongs to "the strong-on-defense wing of the
GOP," but that isn't quite right, insofar as following his advice would weaken America's defense as surely as the Iraq War, which led to the unnecessary deaths of more Americans than the 9/11 attacks. There is little evidence that voters have any appetite for Cantor's approach to foreign policy. And if Republicans persist in offering it, Democrats will keep winning.

Pest Control in India Saves Farmers $309 Million
Without intervention from the same Virginia Tech team that helped Africa farmers combat the leaf miner moth, the mealybug would have caused $309 million worth of damage in the first year of its invasion, and more than $1 billion over the next five years. Rangaswamy “Muni” Muniappan developed a natural pest control program that wiped out the papaya mealybug’s onslaught in India – all for the modest cost of $200,000.
