The carnage begun that awful day in the Iranian desert in 1980 will not run its course until Americans understand how much they need to fear and loathe militant Islam.

Jenin: The Big Lie
As the Israelis were busy hosing pools of blood off the streets after the latest murder-suicide bombing at Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda market, the Palestinian propaganda machine was busy churning out yet another Big Lie: the "massacre of Jenin." Palestinian mouthpieces...
Destroying Israel on the Installment Plan
Everyone seems to be clamoring for the United States to "do something" about the carnage in the Middle East. Demands for action are ringing out from the pacifists on the left to the "national greatness" crowd among the neo-conservatives on the right. Whether in...
Terminate This, Arnold
Conservative Hollywood celebrities are an endangered species -- and they're moving one step closer to extinction. Sad to say, but rock-ribbed Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger has grown flabby and flown leftward. Hasta la vista, baby. Last month, Schwarzenegger...
Anti-Globalization: The Left’s Violent Assault on Global Prosperity
May Day will see thousands of people in major cities all over the free world marching in the streets and no doubt engaging in violent demonstrations. The protestors will be a conglomeration of left wing, environmental and other groups, and will be united by a single...
Festo: What Every Inventor Should Know About This Important Supreme Court Case
The Festo case currently before the Supreme Court could have a significant impact on strategies for protecting inventors' intellectual property rights. If the Supreme Court upholds the lower court ruling, the protection given to millions of patented inventions will be...
The Latest European Fashion
The rocks have been lifted all over Europe, and the snakes of Jew-hatred are slithering free. In Belgium, thugs beat up the chief rabbi, kicking him in the face and calling him "a dirty Jew." Two synagogues in Brussels were firebombed; a third, in Charleroi, was...
War for Peace
After 10 years of seeking security through "land for peace" deals, Israel has finally rediscovered the formula for real security: war for peace. Notice what you have seen in the news for the past few weeks: Europeans screaming about civilian casualties at Jenin (the...
The Hollywood Left on Guns
With the Academy Awards behind us, we now turn our attention to the SAP Awards, honoring the biggest Second Amendment Phony. And the nominees are: -- "The West Wing." In a recent episode, President Josiah Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen, pronounced the Second...
Fun-with-Dim-Activists Day: A Day At The IMF/World Bank Protests
I'd planned on writing a snarky, mocking narrative of my day at last weekend's IMF/World Bank protests. A friend and I had set our sights on infiltrating the great unwashed activists, blending in, then collecting great stories to tell about the twisted logic,...
The Wall Street Journal on Illegal Immigration: Bordering on Idiocy
What does combating illegal immigration have to do with combating Middle Eastern terrorists in America? Well, duh. Let's review: Three of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were illegal visa overstayers. Seven of the 19 obtained fraudulent ID cards with the help of illegal...
Ms. Coach vs. Mr. Coach
"There's a lot of outcry now over the serious lack of female coaches, but not enough being done to solve the problem," said a former physical education professor. According to Linda Carpenter, the co-author of the Women in Intercollegiate Sport study, 30 years ago,...
The Problem with Washington
Why on earth would you want to move to Washington, D.C.? Inside the Beltway, this is an absurd and unthinkable question. Washington, after all, is the Center of the Universe. The Pillar of Power. The Dominion of Movers and Shakers. Who wouldn't want to live and work...
Race Rationales vs. Results
Can you think of any reason why the past or present sufferings of blacks would justify letting a white student get admitted to an elite public high school in San Francisco over a Chinese American student with higher qualifications? Most people would think that such a...
The Palestinian Victims?
As Israel pulls out of the West Bank -- a foolish move that will only allow Palestinian terrorists to regroup -- the media is being flooded with piteous tales about Palestinian victims, who, we are told, are innocent civilians. But a glance at the stories coming out...
“Good” Teachers
The next time someone receives an award as an outstanding teacher, take a close look at the reasons given for selecting that particular person. Seldom is it because his or her students did higher quality work in math or spoke better English or in fact had any tangible...
See Dick and Jane Weep
Home schooling is looking more and more like the only sane educational option these days. The latest news of the weird in our public schools comes from Seattle. Last week, The Seattle Times reports, nearly 300 students from two middle schools were subjected to three...
From Time Immemorial – Evidence of Unrecorded Arab Immigration (Part 5 of 6)
The central thesis of Peters' book is that a significant proportion of Arabs living in the area that became Israel were actually immigrants or migrants from other parts of Palestine, who made up a large proportion of the 590,000 Palestinian refugees in 1948. Peters'...
From Time Immemorial – Peters’ Book From Time Immemorial Lacks Objectivity (Part 6 of 6)
The central contentions of Peters' book have been shown to be undermined by her lack of objectivity. Time does not permit checking the rest of her work with equal rigor; however, several examples will serve to show that Peters' characteristic misuse of evidence...
Another War Brought on Pacifism
It is ironic that the current Middle East conflict is taking place on the 20th anniversary of the Falkland Islands war because both involved the same key factor -- war brought on by pacifism. In both cases, a weaker force attacked a stronger force, secure in the...
Do States Have a Right of Secession?
Do states have a right of secession? That question was settled through the costly War of 1861. In his recently published book, "The Real Lincoln," Thomas DiLorenzo marshals abundant unambiguous evidence that virtually every political leader of the time and earlier...
From Time Immemorial- Natural Increase and the Growth of Palestine’s Arab Population (Part 4 of 6)
Peters' main contention is that many of the Arabs living in the area that became Israel did not descend from Arabs who had been there "from time immemorial" but were relatively recent arrivals. One indication of this migration, she argues, is that the "natural...
From Time Immemorial – The British Mandate (Part 3 of 6)
The British assumed control of Palestine as a result of World War I; their administration of the territory was later recognized by League of Nations mandate. Peters persistently interprets the Mandate as having the goal of developing a Jewish state in Palestine:...
Campaign Finances and Corruption
In one of the great ironies of contemporary politics, Congress [last month] passed an economic "stimulus" package the day after the recession was declared to be over. Obviously, the legislators didn't really care about stimulating the economy, which had already...
