Cuba is one of the world's few remaining communist countries. Rather than continuing ineffective policies toward Cuba, the U.S. government should relax sanctions and open up relations with the island nation.

ISIS is the most well-armed, well-funded, deadly threat to global security in years. The group can only be defeated by a strong display of military force, which includes a ground campaign. If ISIS is not stopped, it will continue to carry out heinous terrorist attacks around the world.

As proven by the disastrous U.S. presence in Iraq, little long-term progress can come from U.S. military intervention in the Middle East and Persian Gulf. U.S. interference—particularly ill-planned, short-term operations—aggravates sectarian tensions without compelling local powers to assume responsibility for stabilizing and securing their own territory.

Strong religious freedom laws are attempts to roll back civil rights gains won by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans. The right to freely exercise one's religion does not include the right to discriminate against others. Some religious freedom laws are so broadly written as to allow anyone to justify discriminating against anyone else simply by claiming a religious belief.

Su. POV
Reports of widespread police brutality and abuse are exaggerated. Only rarely do officers use excessive force, though they must often make instant decisions in tense situations. Crime has steadily declined over the last two decades as the result of assertive policing. Creating civilian review boards only adds to bureaucracy, invites political manipulation, and keeps police from doing their jobs.

OP. POV
Police departments across the country too often use excessive force, injuring and occasionally killing people who pose little threat. Members of minority groups and the poor are frequently the victims of police brutality. Police departments must shed their cover-up culture and institute reforms, such as creating or strengthening civilian oversight boards to investigate and prevent incidents of police brutality.
