Those Westerners who criticize Israel’s response to close to 3,000 rocket attacks might tell us what Israel should do in response — just take the rockets, surrender or leave the Middle East?
Foreign Policy
A Cease Fire in Gaza Will Reward Hamas
When Hamas launches an attack on Israel, they know in advance that whatever Israel does in response will be limited by calls for a cease-fire, backed by political and economic pressures from the United States.
A Bitter After-Taste in Iraq
You cannot create instant freedom like you are making instant coffee.
How Foreign Is Our Policy?: Part II
Critics have seen Obama’s repeated sacrifices of American national interests as deliberate.
How Foreign Is Our Policy?
Most of Barack Obama’s foreign policy decisions since becoming president are consistent with this mindset. He has acted repeatedly as a citizen of the world, even though he was elected to be President of the United States.
Ukraine: A Painful Argument for a Foreign Policy of Self-Interest
Vladimir Putin’s actions are detestable and the result of American weakness–intellectual weakness.
Putin Parties Like It’s 1959
The best thing America could do for the Ukraine, or any other victim of totalitarian repression, is to make the world safe for freedom, private property and individual rights.
Another Galling Betrayal in Afghanistan and Iraq
We insisted on trying to create a “democracy” in the Middle East — a place with a history going back thousands of years, without a single democracy.
Iran: Obama’s New Best Friend
Obama and John Kerry have “struck a deal” with Iran. We’re now supposed to breathe easier. Because of this deal, we’re told, Iran will no longer be building nuclear weapons in order to destabilize the Middle East (translation: our oil supply) any more than it already...
The Battle of Mogadishu: Twenty Years Later
Holidays such as Veterans Day and Memorial Day celebrate the heroism, courage, and honor of American service members. October third should be the day Americans remind themselves of the true horrors of needless wars.
War For the Hell of It
By attacking the vicious dictator Assad, we’re helping an arguably even worse enemy—al Qaida, the people responsible for 9/11.
The Ethics of War with Syria
America is not the world’s police and it ought to be unnecessary to have to declare let alone debate that an attack by the U.S. on Syria would be an outrage. But the Obama administration, backed by every major Democrat and Republican and largely by the press, too, is...
Serious About Syria?
“Military action” is a polite phrase for killing people. It would be nice to believe that this has some larger purpose than saving Barack Obama from political embarrassment.
Obama’s Hypocrisy Over Egypt
Why is majority will such a sacred cow?
Historic Rescuers
It is not really news that Victor Davis Hanson has written another outstanding and eye-opening book. He has done that before and repeatedly, on a variety of subjects. The subject of his latest book, “The Savior Generals” is given in the subtitle:...
Looking Back — and Forward
Whatever Barack Obama’s words, his deeds have been directed less toward stopping Iran from going nuclear than they have been toward stopping Israel from stopping Iran from going nuclear.
‘Proportional’ Response
Should we be surprised that the Iraqi government has increasingly come to pay more attention to what Iran wants than to what Washington wants?
Dictatorship? Not a Problem
According to The Wall Street Journal, Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel, during his hearings, had to backtrack on an especially embarrassing assertion that Iran’s rulers are “legitimate” and “elected.” Hagel would never have said...
Why Neither Hillary Nor Barack Will Ever Be Blamed for Benghazi
I’m no fan of Republicans, because in their own way they do just as much damage to the country as Democrats. In a way, they do more damage. They practice the same Big Government policies as the Democrats, most of the time, and then a majority are misled into believing...
Hillary Clinton’s Hissy Fit
From forcing Americans into the enslavement of the medical profession, which is being accomplished by the man who defeated her and conferred her current diplomatic status, to leading what may be the worst foreign policy in American history, with major progression toward…
Why Obama Wants an Anti-Gay Defense Secretary
Barack Obama wants to appoint an anti-gay former U.S. Senator, Chuck Hagel, as the next Defense Secretary. Back in the Clinton Administration, Hagel opposed the appointment of an openly gay man to be ambassador to Luxembourg. At the time, Hagel said: “They...
Death of a Navy SEAL
The loss of a Navy SEAL who was killed last week while rescuing an American doctor held prisoner in Afghanistan underscores that the U.S. military action in Islamicist Asia is based on selflessness, not on U.S. self-interest. The SEAL’s name is Nicolas D. Checque. He...
How the U.S. Appeases Iran
Soon, we may live to see what was once unthinkable: the reality of a nuclear Islamicist Iran. What should have been a simple smackdown of a primitivistic, barbaric regime by a global superpower has festered for over 30 years into a crisis of catastrophic proportions....
If Murder of Americans is About a Video, Then It Is Indeed About U.S. Policy
On September 11, 2012, Islamists attacked Americans in a U.S. foreign embassy and consulate and murdered four of those Americans in Libya. Evidence indicates that our government failed to take common-sense security measures to protect these Americans. Then our...
How the U.S. Appeases Iran
We need an urgent end to faith-based appeasement.
Why America is More Vulnerable Than Ever
A strong country militarily and defense-wise presupposes a strong country economically. Simply put: There is no way to fund a system of defense without a strong, vibrant private economy. A strong and vibrant economy presupposes rational economic policies. Rational...
“Negotiating” From a Position of Blackmail
According to Fox News, Iranian President Ahmadinejad would not elaborate on the announcement, but said within the next few days Iran will unveil “big new” nuclear achievements and that his country is ready to revive talks with the West but not...
The Needless Casualty
It is because of the bankrupt nature of altruism that events such as those on June 28, 2005 in Kunar province occur, and no one can explain the rationale for 19 dead American servicemen.
Foreign Policy “Experience”
Now that the Democrats have recovered from the shock of Governor Sarah Palin’s nomination as the Republican’s candidate for vice president, they have suddenly discovered that her lack of experience in general– and foreign policy experience in...
Photo Op for Terrorism at Ground Zero
Why did Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad want a “photo op” at Ground Zero? Doesn’t he hate the United States and everything it stands for? If not, then perhaps he aims at peace more than we assume? As I always say: Look at what people do, not at...
Diplomacy Only Encourages North Korea’s Belligerence
There is only one solution to the “North Korea problem”: the United States and its allies must abandon the suicidal policy of appeasement.
Washington’s Pro-Hamas Foreign Policy
America’s policy of backing “land for peace” deals in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was supposed to stop Palestinian terrorism and culminate in a Palestinian state coexisting with Israel “side by side in peace and security.” But after...
