AMERICA’S ENEMIES ARE OBAMA’S FRIENDS AND VICE VERSA
President Barack Hussein Obama is an ignoramus and a boor, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said on CNN Sunday (3/28). Mr. Axelrod did not, of course, use precisely those words. What he did say on CNN's "State of the Union" pro ...
THE DESPOTS AND WEAKLINGS OF 1939 AND 2009
1939 was not a good year. World War II started, and much of the world was still in the Depression. The leaders of too many countries were either despots or naïve and weak. 2009 has not been a good year. There's been a global recession. And se ...
HAVE YOU NO SHAME? HAVE YOU NO DECENCY?
[This literary, moral, and political masterpiece is the text of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the UN General Assembly on Sept. 24, 2009] I stand here today as the Prime Minister of Israel, the Jewish state, and I speak to you on b ...
THE CONSEQUENCES OF A HUG-AND-APPEASEMENT FOREIGN POLICY
In Iraq on Monday (8/24), Islamist terrorists staged massive suicide bombings in Baghdad. Over a hundred Iraqis died, with more than a thousand wounded. The foreign and finance ministries lie in rubble. The Iraqi government is reeling. Our president wen ...
HALF-FULL REPORT 05/15/09
Got to be careful today. So much to celebrate this week that it's too easy to say "The sun is over the yardarm someplace" and reach for a bottle of Wasmund's American Scotch (more about that later), rather than soberly wait for the sun to ...
PIRATES AND PRESIDENT PANTYWAIST
The opening stanza of the Marine Corps hymn is: "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea." The "Halls of Montezuma" refers to the assault on Chapultapec Castle o ...

Here is what American voters need to know. The following information has been completed on my own time and not on behalf of any group or organization. It is based upon my own research and uses contacts I have in all branches of the US government, ...
CLASSICAL FASCIST CHINA
Even though they still call themselves communists, and the Communist Party rules the country, classical fascism should be the starting point for our efforts to understand the People's Republic. We are certainly not dealing with a Communist regime, e ...

SHARIA LAW AND MAFIA RULE IN FRANCE
Last May, French voters elected Mr. Sarkozy as president because he had promised to restore the authority of the Republic over France's 751 no-go areas, the so-called zones urbaines sensibles (ZUS, sensitive urban areas), where 5 million people live - ...
EXPLAINING THE PURPOSE OF VICTORY
In Iraq, as military and security conditions continue to improve, American war politics enters one of its stranger moments in our history. Certainly it is historically odd for war reporting to diminish almost to the point of public invisibility -- just as ...
THE SWAG NIE
Iran suspended its nuclear weapons program in 2003, and probably won't be able to build a bomb before 2015 if it does restart it, a new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) has concluded. That's very good news...if it's true. But that&# ...

CIVILIZATIONAL CONFIDENCE
Here's a tip for all of you younger folks in your 20s and 30s. If you think the world is strange now, wait ‘till you get older. For the older you get, the weirder the world looks. For me, one of the world's weirdest places is an airport. Specifica ...

A LESSON LIBERALS NEVER LEARN
The Israeli-Hezbollah war wouldn't have happened if John Kerry were president, John Kerry told the Detroit News last Sunday. President Bush hasn't devoted the attention to the Middle East that he would have, Mr. Kerry told reporter Valerie Oland ...
THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT AMERICA

SUICIDE IN AND OF SYRIA
On the morning of Oct. 12th, Syria's Interior minister, Maj. Gen. Ghazi Kanaan, was found dead in his office from a gunshot wound to the head. Kanaan's death was ruled a suicide, but there were doubters. "For those of you who don't know what 'committe ...
CLEOPATRA WAS A BLONDE
No, this is not a blonde joke. If you want one of those, go to this week’s Humor File. Cleopatra was in fact a blonde. That’s because she was not Egyptian. She was a Macedonian Greek, with hair as blonde as Alexander’s. Alexander conquered Egypt in ...
THE LETHAL WEAPON OF FREEDOM
Many of the brave people in the suddenly democratic Arab streets are inspired by America, and by George W. Bush himself. The president clearly understands this, but, in one of the most frustrating paradoxes of the moment, this vision is rather more popular ...
CIRCLE SQUARED: Iran, Iraq, Syria
In his final weeks in office, Secretary Powell has unfortunately continued to chant his mantra, "we are not working for regime change in Iran," as if he were proud of it. He, and his colleagues at State, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, and the ...
AN OPEN LETTER TO LIBERTARIANS
I am glad to see Professor Hospers’ letter on websites such as WorldNetDaily. We offer it here in case you have not seen it. John Hospers changed my life, and so much for the better. When he was Chairman of the School of Philosophy at the Universi ...
IRAN – WHEN?
Months before the liberation of Iraq I wrote that we were about to have our great national debate on the war against the terror masters, and it was going to be the wrong debate. Wrong because it was going to focus obsessively on Iraq, thereby making it imp ...
WHY GEORGE BUSH IS TODAY’S CHURCHILL
Comparing U.S. President George Bush with Winston Churchill may seem a stretch. Yet there's a parallel -- not with Churchill of the war years, when he was the "free" world's most admired leader, but with Churchill of the 1930s when he stood alone, warning ...
THE 9/11 COMMISSION’S GUARANTEE OF FAILURE
The call for a new intelligence overseer in the executive branch is downright silly. Any CEO of a distressed firm who retained failed managers and simply added new personnel and new organizational boxes would face open rebellion from his board and sharehol ...
From Tyranny To Freedom in Iraq
Recent acts of barbarism against Coalition forces in Iraq have revived an old and enormously important debate: Are these terrorists the products of fanatic tyrannies, or are the tyrannies the logical expression of the true nature of the peoples of the regi ...
THE DOOM OF RUSSIA
Last week, Vladimir Putin was re-elected President of Russia with over 70% of the vote. Does this portend the re-animation of the Soviet Russian Empire, led by a man with an unchallenged grip on power, possessed with a deep nostalgia for the glory days of ...

ELEPHANTS IN THE SAHARA
The picture here is of my son, Jackson, next to a prehistoric pictograph of an elephant in the heart of the Sahara Desert. It was carved in the rock thousands of years ago by ancient hunters when the Sahara was like East Africa is today, a well-watered gra ...
How to End Civilization as We Know It
Doomsday scenarios were ever-popular during the Cold War. But the reality was that if a nuclear missile hit a U.S. city, we would know for sure who launched it: the Soviets. Thus we knew against whom to retaliate. And thus the Cold War was conducted withou ...
