The Cato Institute seeks to broaden the parameters of public policy debate to allow consideration of the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and peace. Toward that goal, the Institute strives to achieve greater involvement of the intelligent, concerned lay public in questions of policy and the proper role of government.

				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=14075</link>
				<description><![CDATA[For some time now, Republican hawks like Sen. John McCain and Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon have been saying that our military budget is inadequate for the threats we face. They like to gripe that President Barack Obama is orchestrating the decline of American power.

				<title>We Should Have Left Iraq Far Sooner (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=14042</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Leaving Iraq was a wise decision; we should have left far sooner. The United States has gained little from the war, and the benefits will never approach what we expended in blood and treasure.

				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=14036</link>

				<description><![CDATA[GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney is pushing a shortsighted and costly plan to boost his national security credentials.

				<description><![CDATA[American taxpayers, and especially American troops, have borne the burdens of policing the planet for decades.

				<title>Considering the Costs and Benefits of Counterterrorism (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=13653</link>
				<description><![CDATA[It is a clich&#233; that military planners are doomed to prepare for the previous war rather than the next one.
