A law making its way through the halls of Congress would enforce corporate social responsibility programs with heavy fines and civil lawsuits. In other words, the time has come for companies to walk the walk, before they make you walk the plank. But will this attempt to legislate morality actually work?

The U.S. biotech industry doesn't face generic competition partly because the Food and Drug Administration lacks authority to approve biotech generics, as it does for easier-to-copy traditional drugs. Legislation reintroduced last month in Congress seeks to give the FDA that authority.

Now, more than four years later, the Democrats want out of the resulting war. Most, such as Rep. John Murtha, want to do so for a simple reason: They think the war is lost. If you believe that, then getting out is the most reasonable and honorable and patriotic policy.
