THE GREAT-SOULED MAN
In October of 1965, Ronald Reagan came to speak at UCLA. I was a senior, and it was a depressing time to be a College Republican. Barry Goldwater had been thrashed the previous year, and my professors were so left-wing that I took one to court because of h ...

WINKING — NOT BLINKING — IN FALLUJA

THE FRAGILITY OF TERRORISM
A prediction we hear often regarding the War on Moslem Terrorism is that it is going to last a long, long time -- for so many years into the future that no one can see the end of it. Maybe it will. Maybe it will be a war our grandchildren will be fighti ...

PEACE IN IRAQ REQUIRES REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN
Much is being made about the irony of an Iranian envoy arriving in Iraq to help negotiate a solution to the U.S. standoff with radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. How could we allow a charter member of President Bush's "Axis of Evil" to negotiate a "pea ...

Drifting, Dangerously
If the terrorists are as cabalistic as it seems (the eerie fact that the terror attack in Madrid on March 11 arrived exactly 911 days after 9/11 has been noted, and should be underlined), then one possible target date is 6/11 — six being an inverted nine ...

Whatever Happened to Never Again?

WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
