• Editorial: ObamaCare Is No Longer A Law - The Law: Already bruised and unpopular, ObamaCare has now been issued a death sentence. Yet the White House says it will “proceed apace” with its implementation. Has anyone there heard of checks and balances?
• Would We Drill For $200 Oil? - Energy Security: As unrest spreads in the Middle East, threatening oil transport and oil-rich kingdoms, our laughable energy policy may come home to roost. Better get those wind turbines spinning in a hurry.
• Stalling On Fan, Fred - Home Finance: Fannie and Freddie are still bleeding losses, costing taxpayers billions more each month. Yet the White House continues to delay reforms, in defiance of a congressional order.
• Egypt Means Real Trouble For Israel - Middle East: No matter what ends up replacing President Mubarak and his harsh government, history may rewind to the 1970s for Israel — with the Camp David Accords possibly erased in the process.
• Only In Gov’t Do All Benefits Justify Costs - Despite the old saying, “Don’t cry over spilled milk,” the Environmental Protection Agency is doing just that.
• The Revolution In Middle East Is Growing Up - Nobody said it better than Hosni Mubarak: “Our eventual goal is to create an equal society, not a society of privileges and class distinctions. Social justice is the first rule for peace and stability in society.” But that was in November 1981, a few weeks after he had become president of Egypt.
• IBD/TIPP Poll: A Country That Knows What It Wants - Public Opinion: The latest IBD/TIPP poll finds that Americans want decisive action taken to solve some of our biggest problems. But they also recognize the difference between real problems and the fake ones that politicians dwell on.

• The Story of the Egyptian Revolution - A day-by-day account from Cairo, written by a sophisticated Egyptian analyst.
• The Left and Their ‘Good Victims’ - The left divides the world into good and bad victims.
• Egypt, the United States, and the Ghost of Khomeini - There is still hope that Egyptians won’t display the naïveté of the leaders of the Iranian democratic forces.
• There’s No Abe Lincoln in the Muslim Hood - There are only bad choices.
• Radical Islam or Mainstream Islam? - If the majority of Muslims adhere to Sharia law (at least in their hearts), then we must confront the possibility that “Radical Islam” is actually mainstream Islam.
• The British Left’s Betrayal of America - The latest revelations that Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s government advised Libya on how to secure the release of the Lockerbie bomber may have destroyed the Anglo-American relationship.
• Judge Vinson Also Smacks Down Crony Capitalists - Perhaps almost as pleasing as the affirmation of individual freedom and the dismissal of a government-run society is the smack-down Judge Vinson’s ruling gave to the concept of “crony capitalism.”

Investor’s Business Daily

•  Editorial: Terror In Waiting  - Mideast: As the radical Muslim Brotherhood schemes to oust a pro-American despot in Egypt, U.S. pundits have cheered the move as a boon for freedom. This is dangerous pablum.
•  Egypt’s Kerensky - Succession: As talk of deposing Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak grows, one name keeps popping up: Mohamed ElBaradei. If he takes over, it’ll be a disaster not just for Egypt, but also for the U.S. and the West.
•  The Newest Nation - Africa: Far from the rage in the streets of Cairo, there’s joy in the air in the tiny cities of South Sudan. A referendum’s results there should lead to creation of a new nation. It holds some lessons.
•  Egyptian Plagues, American Policies - Diplomatic Ineptitude: Western diplomats were long ago planting poisonous seeds in Egyptian soil. All it took to make them grow was for the U.S. to send some well-intentioned but misguided signals at the wrong time.
•  ObamaCare Can’t Be Reconciled - Health Care Reform: Another federal judge has declared the Democrats’ overhaul to be unconstitutional. A law that should have never been passed is that much closer to being dismantled.
•  Kill The Internet ‘Kill Switch’ - Censorship: Virtually the first thing an authoritative Egyptian government did to quell dissent was to shut down its Internet. So why are we debating a bill to give our government the same power?
•  America’s Next Financial Crisis Is Already Here - In spite of talking about freezing government spending, President Obama reminded everyone during the State of the Union just how out of touch he is about the defining issue of our time — the fiscal dysfunction that threatens to rob future generations of today’s living standards and jeopardizes the global financial system.
•  Middle East Is On The Verge Of Convulsing - Things are about to go from bad to worse in the Middle East.  An Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement is nowhere in sight. Lebanon just became a Hezbollah state, which is to say that Iran has become an even more important regional power, and Egypt, once stable if tenuously so, has been pitched into chaos.

MEXICO CITY — Mexican marines found the dumped bodies of 72 people at a rural location in northern Mexico following a shootout with suspected drug cartel gunmen that left one marine and three suspects dead, the Navy reported late Tuesday.

The cadavers of 58 men and 14 women were found at a spot near the Gulf coast south of the border city of Matamoros. It appears to be the largest drug-cartel body dumping ground found in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug trafficking in late 2006.

Joe Scarborough, who hosts “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, tweeted,

Politicians in both parties continue to pursue a Wilsonian foreign policy that is radical and dangerous for America’s future.

He followed that up by saying,

When the US changed it’s Afghanistan goal from killing al Qaeda members to building a country, our leaders guaranteed an endless war.

Some random Tweep responded claiming the MSNBC talking head finally came around and joined conservative talk show host and FoxNews employee Glenn Beck and his Woodrow Wilson fixation.
