Breaking the personnel, financial, and ideological links will require fighting terrorism on three fronts: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Britain. In Afghanistan, the U.S., the U.K., and their allies need to continue to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda. They should also hold Pakistan accountable for its failure to act decisively against terrorism. In Britain, the government needs to enforce the tightened immigration and asylum practices, refuse to cooperate with radical Islamism, and promote citizenship and economic opportunity to help immigrants assimilate into British society. http://www.heritage.org/Research/NationalSecurity/bg2337.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Ted R.

Communist and other totalitarian regimes like China and North Korea violate individual rights and freedoms in almost every capacity, and allegedly democratic governments like Venezuela do so as well. Confronting these nations on the international stage is a challenge that the United States, as the world's freest and most powerful nation, must continue to meet. http://www.heritage.org/Research/WorldwideFreedom/hl1130.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Helle C. Dale Worldwide Freedom Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:50:15 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/WorldwideFreedom/hl1130.cfm Hillary Clinton's underwhelming performance so far as secretary of state is representative of a U.S. foreign policy that projects weakness rather than strength and is leaving the United States increasingly vulnerable in the face of an array of enemies. http://www.heritage.org/Research/WorldwideFreedom/wm2548.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Nile Gardiner, Ph.D. Worldwide Freedom Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:12:32 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/WorldwideFreedom/wm2548.cfm Congress established the VWP to strengthen America's relationship with key allies around the globe. Recent reforms have made the program a better tool for thwarting terrorist and criminal travel as well as for combating violations of U.S. immigration laws. Congress should transfer permanent waiver authority to DHS and decouple VWP from the biometric air-exit mandate. http://www.heritage.org/Research/HomelandSecurity/bg2282.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Jena Baker McNeill, Nathan Alexander Sales, James Jay Carafano, Ph.D., and James Dean Worldwide Freedom Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:16:48 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/HomelandSecurity/bg2282.cfm The Durban II conference is a testament to a fundamental problem of U.N. conferences and other U.N. efforts to advance human rights. The experience of Durban II should lead the Obama Administration to revaluate its default position of supporting and participating in U.N. conferences and bodies, such as the U.N. Human Rights Council, and not lend undeserved legitimacy to their often destructive efforts. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/bg2284.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Brett D.

Roberts and Ray Walser, Ph.D. Worldwide Freedom Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:01:50 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/WorldwideFreedom/wm2299.cfm A Global Freedom Coalition, a flexible association of free nations whose members have both the will and the means to defeat threats to their security, should be established. The U.S. should establish a Security for Freedom Fund that revamps the entire U.S. foreign military assistance program to face the wide range of security threats in the 21st century. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/bg2236.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James Carafano, Ph.D., and Henry Brands Worldwide Freedom Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:19:13 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/bg2236.cfm The United States cannot remain a global leader unless it modernizes its alliances and international associations. America needs international institutions, alliances, and a multilateral diplomacy worthy of a great power that is dedicated to the advancement of freedom and security. It is time to create a Global Freedom Coalition, a Global Economic Freedom Forum, and a Liberty Forum for Human Rights. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/bg2231.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D. Worldwide Freedom Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:22:07 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/bg2231.cfm President-elect Obama, while we may disagree with your view that the United Nations is "indispensable," we do agree that it is imperfect and in need of substantial reform. We also believe that, as President, you should never give the U.N. a veto over American action to protect American national interests. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/sr0041.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Brett D.
