Now that we have officially more or less committed ourselves to war, many will now object that this mission poses too many strategic pitfalls — that the Middle East is a vast quagmire, that the enemy is too elusive, that this will be “another Vietnam.” As always, many raise these objections, not as problems to […]

The attack of September 11, 2001 was only one incident in a concerted war on western civilization. The attackers are united not by any organized conspiracy, but by a common hatred, and a common desire. Their hatred is of life and their desire is death. The attack takes many forms. Islamic fundamentalists proclaim the superiority […]

When I lived in New York, I could look up at any hour of the day or night and see the World Trade Center. I took comfort in its presence and the knowledge that American freedom and the ideals of capitalism were hard at work. Especially at night, to look up and see the windows […]

The enemy of September 11, 2001 is not a military foe boastful of his power. It is a tiny rat that hides under a rug in the free country it wants to destroy. That America asked for the co-operation of the world to exterminate this rat is the consequence of a grave moral problem: America’s […]

The most horrible terrorist attack in history brought with it a seemingly unanswerable question: Why? And as the dust from the destruction has settled, we are forced to face another, more pressing question: What should we do? The victims held the answers to both questions. The World Trade Center was destroyed fundamentally because the attackers […]

Our Statue of Liberty stands stalwart in New York harbor, her head unbowed and torch aloft. For more than a century, she has generously welcomed the tired, poor, and huddled masses. But now, with the ashes of anti-American terrorism at her feet, it is time for Lady Liberty to dim the lamp and turn back […]

The so-called “innocents” of war Nobody now can rationally believe that Islamic terrorists will not use weapons of mass destruction against innocent people, weapons they have been busy acquiring. Terrorism of this magnitude will remain a serious threat as long as there exists governments — Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, etc. — that aid, […]
