Looking, well be following up with the two of you, on the idea that if you triple the standard deduction and a number of senators of both Political Parties are interested in a significant increase in the standard deduction, you dont have so many people itemize and that is another possibility. But well follow up with you on the simplicity issue. I want to wrap up with one last question and that is, is there one thing you regret about what happened in 86 and you would counsel us in terms of what to do in the future .

Dov zakheim i dont know if david will agree, i think a point to david made previously goes to the heart of your concern. Our foreignpolicy is being run by a small group of people in the white house, most of whom have minimal foreignpolicy experience. Which is remarkable, because theyve been doing it for six years, but it is if it has been six days. I think that regardless of who is elected, the real issue is, does the White House Run foreign policy, or do we leave it to the professionals.

A ricegrowing community in italy. Iraqi leaders are preparing to make an attempt to take back the key city of ramadi from the Islamic State militant group. Theyre getting help from several thousand shia militiamen to launch an offensive. But there are worries that could fuel sectarian violence in the predominantly sunni city. This footage purportedly showing ramadi was posted online on monday. The vice governor of Anbar Province told nhk the city has fallen into the hands of the militant group. He said all Government Troops have withdrawn. Local media say Islamic State fighters are searching for any remaining soldiers and setting their homes on fire.

News. Sharniece really loved doing community stories. She loved talking to people. Reporter her family says she was returning from work on a story using Public Transportation as she typically did. She was shot as she transferred buses just minutes from home. Police believe the intended target of the gunshot that killed her may have pulled her into the line of fire, used her as a human shield.

She was always very nice.
