Modern day gladiator warfare leaves many warriors permanently impaired.

Senator Lugar, in his farewell statement does a great job of explaining the problem with the current GOP trend of demanding groupthink from its members. Party faithful would do well to heed his words.

Unfortunately, we have an increasing number of legislators in both parties who have adopted an unrelenting partisan viewpoint. This shows up in countless vote studies that find diminishing intersections between Democrat and Republican positions. Partisans at both ends of the political spectrum are dominating the political debate in our country. And partisan groups, including outside groups that spent millions against me in this race, are determined to see that this continues. They have worked to make it as difficult as possible for a legislator of either party to hold independent views or engage in constructive compromise. If that attitude prevails in American politics, our government will remain mired in the dysfunction we have witnessed during the last several years. And I believe that if this attitude expands in the Republican Party, we will be relegated to minority status. Parties don't succeed for long if they stop appealing to voters who may disagree with them on some issues.

He was one of the "adults" in the GOP and he will be missed greatly. I hope he remains a strong public voice for sanity from the right. Good luck, Mr. Senator!

Joe Biden is such a tool ..... he is also a fool. He says "we were to blame" and that Obama has done a much better job than his predecessor with the iran nuke situation, but the facts do not bear it out:

Under Bush, there were 5 UN Resolutions against iran while there has just been one under Obama. iran also suspended its uranium enrichment while Bush was President, but they have resumed it on Obama's watch. Hopefully President Obama will steer things to a succesful conclusion, but Biden is flat wrong in his assertions. Biden was, is, and always will be be a buffoon.

I wonder if anyone will even care ...

It is reminiscent of a former PLO leader Zuheir Mohsen who said something similar nearly 40 years ago in an interview with a Dutch newspaper.

I agree with what VDH is writing in thie piece. I have always believed the EU is destined to fail.

Now with Francois Hollande leading a socialist French government, I would expect he and German PM Angela Merkel to clash over economic policies. We'll see if the diverging interests of these and other nations cause the EU to unravel or if the Euros can find ways to truly unite.
