Go Reagan!!!!!!!:) Michael Reagan Challenges Kerry to Stem Cell Debate URL:http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/10/10/182156.shtml Radio talk show host and nationally syndicated columnist Michael Reagan has issued a challenge to John Kerry to meet him in a one-on-one debate on stem cell research. In a letter to Debra DeShong, Kerry-Edwards Senior Communications Adviser, Reagan, the older son of President Ronald Reagan and a longtime member of the board of directors of the John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation, who has an impressive background on the subject of stem cell research, has invited Kerry to a debate on the subject either on his nationally syndicated radio show or any other mutually agreed-upon location, according to his producer, Peter Trahan. Story Continues Below Charging that Kerry's recent comments regarding the Bush administration "sacrificing science for extreme right-wing ideology" are misleading and false and are needlessly politicizing this important issue, Reagan said he wants to confront Kerry with the truth. "John Kerry is lying, and the media [are] letting him get away with it," Reagan told NewsMax.com. Noting that there is no ban on stem cell research but merely a ban on spending federal funds on some embryonic stem cell (ESC) research, Reagan said that President Bush already has provided federal funds for research on adult stem cells (ASC), which, unlike embryonic stems cells, have already proven to be effective in curing diseases. "Cord blood stem cells are 90 percent effective in sickle cell anemia, they are effective in leukemia, in lymphomas, and those three among many others are getting short shrift because Kerry and his allies in the media want to argue about ESC research when there are adult stem cells and cord blood cells which are in fact helping to save lives right now," Reagan told NewsMax.com

BY JAMES TARANTO Monday, October 11, 2004 4:09 p.m. EDT Three Cheers for Australia On behalf of America, we'd like to thank our friends Down Under for handing the pro-American Liberal government of John Howard a resounding re-election victory. The Liberals beat the Labor Party, whose candidate for prime minister, Mark Latham, had pledged to cut and run from Iraq. Howard's victory is a defeat for al Qaeda, which recently bombed the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, presumably in hope of influencing the election à la Spain. Australia is arguably America's greatest ally. It's the fourth biggest coalition partner in Iraq (after the U.S., Britain and Missouri), and Aussie troops--unlike even the British--fought alongside Americans in Vietnam. To those of us who care about American alliances, the Australian election results are heartening news indeed. URL:http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110005743
