Many of us watched with outrage several weeks ago as the Russian Army launched a brutal thrust into the Republic of Georgia, ostensibly in defense of the break-away regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. As I write this, the invasion has ended, but Russian forces still have not left Georgian soil.

What is it that causes Members of Congress to so often forget that the most critical imperative of the federal government is to provide for the common defense?

March 23, 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's landmark speech at the zenith of the Cold War, in which he proposed what became known as the Strategic Defense Initiative, to protect the United States of America, her allies, and her vital interests from ballistic missile attack.

In August of last year, Congress passed the Protect America Act to close a dangerous loophole in our ability to collect intelligence on foreign-to-foreign electronic communications when they are routed through U.S. telecommunications infrastructure. This legislation updated the archaic 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) to ensure that a FISA court order would not be necessary where the target was a foreign terrorist in a foreign land— as opposed to when the target is being surveilled on American soil.

For decades, people have derided even the theory of Ballistic Missile Defense. Never, they said, would we be able to hit a bullet with a bullet and shoot down a missile flying through space, carrying a nuclear weapon to destroy an American city. But there’s bad news for the naysayers: ground-based interceptors work. And if we deploy them, instead of delaying them, our children and grandchildren will not be defenseless against an attack by rogue nations or terrorists.

George W. Bush is more than a president to me – he is a personal friend. I believe, however, that his advisers have done a grave disservice both to him and to the American people by crafting the administration's recently stated position before the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Medellin v. Texas.
