I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry.

It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

Of course, there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power. I, along with many other world leaders, have embraced that goal, and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.

It's a law of our natures, especially when the political fit is on us, to applaud where we already approve, and deride where we don't.

On the day when I was shot, all of my friends' faces were covered, except mine.
