Criminals and killers are not morally or psychologically strong. They only act when they see evidence that their intended victims are weak. As with purse-snatchers and serial killers, so too with Islamic fundamentalists who kill American diplomats. For years,...
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the attack on the United States known as 9/11. A decade later, America is not at war with an external enemy as much as it is with itself. We live in a mixed economy, or a mixed social system. This means we are neither a free...
America is losing the war because we are still acting like police and social workers while our enemies are fighting a war, and because our political leaders still do not recognize the enemy: Islamists, especially Islamic governments.
Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder has resentfully given in. He's referring the 9/11 mastermind terrorist to the Pentagon for a military trial. Obama and Holder wanted terrorists tried as civilians -- as purse-snatchers, or even less -- and for those trials to take...
Once again, we're hearing complaints about the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) and its handling of citizens at airports. The issue always boils down to, "Which is more important? Freedom, or safety?" This is a question that only a moron would ask. The fact...
Fifty years of increasing American appeasement in the Mideast have led to fifty years of increasing contempt in the Muslim world for the U.S. The climax was September 11, 2001.
In the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in federal court, as if they were...
When speaking about rights, don’t water down the principle.
On his recent visit to the Middle East, Vice President Cheney voiced the Bush administration's belief that a Palestinian state is "long overdue" and vowed to help make that goal a reality. Many conservatives and liberals agree with the administration that America...
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 what they say....
America’s war on terrorism is being undercut–by the administration’s efforts to inject religion into politics.
Soon after his election as president of Iran, on June 25, 2005, pictures of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad emerged showing him as a hostage-taker.
The good news out of Munich is that BMW has come up with something that could do a better job than the CIA in defunding al-Qaida. The BMW Hydrogen 7, available next year in a limited series of a few hundred cars in the United States and other countries, runs on either...
I was recently forced to break off an amicable correspondence of several years because of 9/11 conspiracy theories and this person's acceptance of them. Our conversations became nothing but this person trying to convince me that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were an...
With the anniversary of 9/11 approaching, here are a few facts worth circulating…
Our leaders have failed to answer the evil moral ideal of Islamic totalitarianism with a rational ideal of our own.
A true “War of Ideas” would be one in which we proclaim loudly and with moral certainty the secular values we stand for: reason, rights, freedom, material prosperity, and personal happiness on this earth.
Here is how America could solve her terrorism problem in 5 easy steps: 1. Stop sacrificing American soldiers to bring "freedom" to savages in Iraq. Pull our soldiers out of that hell hole, and let the savages have their civil war. ( Iraq is not and never was the main...
On June 2, 2006, seventeen Muslims, including five juveniles, were arrested in Canada for planning major terrorist attacks on Canadian soil against innocent people. Because these were "homegrown" Islamic terrorists, blame was rightly directed towards Canada's...
The killing by U.S. forces of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, is a major turning point in the war on terrorism. The course of history is shaped by major events, and this is one of them. The elimination of one of the world's most brutal,...
Several friends have asked me what they can do in response to the latest Islamic attack on free speech and Western values. I have a few thoughts, but would very much welcome additional suggestions from readers. To begin, I note that the West already has all the...
