Without the U.S. leading the way in trade negotiations, we likely will see irreversible damage to our environment and widespread abuse of labor and human rights, all while we lose out on the opportunity to expand our economy and create jobs.
If left unchecked, global change will create violent conflict, torrential storms, shrinking coastlines, and irreversible catastrophe.
The advocates of retaliatory wars will continue to assume a much simpler reality with their hoary oppositions: Religious and secular, backward and enlightened, free and unfree.

In the Middle East, it is clear that peace will never be reached without solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A two-state solution must be found and enforced.
If your business is the right business, then money will never be an issue.
We are offering to the American public a line of delicious Italian-American foods. They will be available through the Internet, shopping networks and national store distribution.
Italy will always have the best food.
You can't itch on the prosthetic, or else you will rip it, and it's really expensive.
While they're building a solid foundation that will support whatever is coming down the road, Todd and I are itching to see further, to push the envelope.
I will say I am itching for some babyface-ness in my life.
