I very much welcome the tone of the foreign secretarys remarks. This now opens the way for iran to play a constructive role in regional shares and noting that we have a profound common interest in defeating dinesh and the reactions from reality. Will we do not use the opportunity to employ the full british diplomacy to force intelligent, effect incorporation between riyadh and tehran towards a common strategy to defeat daish appeared he is quite right it is to achieve a measure reconciliation between saudi arabia and constructive engagement between those two important regional powers in addressing many challenges facing the region. That will not happen overnight. Hes absolutely right the measured tone of the response we heard from saudi arabia in stark contrast to the last measured response was heard from elsewhere in the region and is promising and i spoke last night we will maintain our engagement doing two things. Encouraging allies in the arab countries around the goals to be willi ....
Is the incremental additional money that theyve got to try to destabilize the region or send to their proxies, is that more important than preventing iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon . No. So i think again, this is a matter of us making a determination of what is our priority. The other problem with the argument that folks have been making about, oh, this is a windfall and suddenly iran is flushed with cash, and theyre going to take over the world.

No bill can make it rain but this bill makes a bad situation even worse. Its wrong for california. It wont stop the drought. It wont make it rain but it will kill jobs and it will ruin Drinking Water for millions of californians. The state of california wont support this bill because it ignores 20 years of established science and undermines our extensive efforts to implement equal measures to address longstanding ....
I was publisher of the wall street journal. I spent quite some time overseeing the Digital Businesses of the journal. I consider myself, in fact, maybe the oldest possible digital native. I oversaw businesses that were based on what we then called electronic publishing even before the internet in the 1990s, so i lived in a time before the internet, before Technology Policy was aimed at encouraging innovation back in the 80s and 9s 90s and before government was heavily involved in regulating communications telephones, other technologies. The internet was different in the 1990s. It was liberating, it was permissionless, it was very little government regulation. Were all beneficiaries of that, and my column tries to identify areas where we may be black siding backsliding or where we may be suppressing innovation or not making the most of this extraordinary opportunity.
