I know war as few other men now living know it and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

In a wristwatch imagine the battery is in the strap and there's a medical sensor in there connected to the internet. If someone is monitoring that they could phone up if the user has forgotten to take some medication. This could save hundreds of dollars in medical fees later. What's missing? It's a stable battery.

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.

A free and open Internet should not have to be weighed down by legal challenges - its dynamism is essential to our economy.

We support every effort to combat international terrorism through the formulation of international conventions and hope that the international community will take further steps to improve the anti-terrorism international legal framework.

Insofar as international law is observed it provides us with stability and order and with a means of predicting the behavior of those with whom we have reciprocal legal obligations.

I also urge the Obama administration - both on its own and in cooperation with other responsible governments around the world - to use all legal means necessary to shut down WikiLeaks before it can do more damage by releasing additional cables. WikiLeaks' activities represent a shared threat to collective international security.

Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto people like the Walsh Brothers David Wilcox Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience.

You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.

Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.

One goes through school college medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success.

We do not need international help to stop corruption we need strong Louisiana Leadership.

We need to be a leadership position about protecting minors on the Internet and more importantly giving the parents the tools they need to protect them.

Such highly qualitative leadership is demanded especially in the realm of the fostering of right international relations. Here the demand is simply irresistible.

Through leadership of the fight against French colonialism Ho Chi Minh had made a name for himself in the international political arena.

Under the leadership of President Bush and Vice President Cheney the United States has given up the moral high ground that we used to occupy as an international leader.

We should be therefore supporting a larger Europe and in so doing we should strive to expand the zone of peace and prosperity in the world which is the necessary foundation for a stable international system in which our leadership could be fruitfully exercised.

Alliances and international organizations should be understood as opportunities for leadership and a means to expand our influence not as constraints on our power.

There is no international problem that can be addressed or solved without the engagement and leadership of the United States and everybody in the world knows that its just fact of life. So sometimes I think we could conduct ourselves with a little more humility.

I think most Americans understand that we went through a period in which American leadership was judged quite critically internationally.

I'm not up on the Internet but I hear that is a democratic possibility. People can connect with each other. I think people are ready for something but there is no leadership to offer it to them. People are ready to say 'Yes we are part of a world.'

Where there is an absence of international political leadership civil society should step in to fill the gap providing the energy and vision needed to move the world in a new and better direction.

Growing up in Nashville especially in a music business family means growing up with knowledge that seems like common sense until later in life when you realize people spend thousands of dollars a semester trying to learn or pretending to learn while looking for some intern job on music row.

To break boundaries interests me. With all the knowledge that is available now in the world it should be accessible to everyone. You can get so much information on the Internet now and yet there are so many places in the world where people just don't have the education.
