Secretary of State Rice has stated that Israel has an "obligation" to respond to the U.N.'s demand for a cease-fire in Lebanon. Since when does any sovereign government have an obligation to reply or have anything at all to do with the U.N.? Keep in mind that Rice is...
WORLD
The essence of capitalism’s foreign policy is free trade–i.e., the abolition of trade barriers, of protective tariffs, of special privileges–the opening of the world’s trade routes to free international exchange and competition among the private citizens of all countries dealing directly with one another. – AYN RAND
Blame Hezbollah and Iran for Death of Qana Children
Responsibility for the tragic deaths of scores of Lebanese women and children in Qana, Lebanon falls primarily on Hezbollah and its backers, Syria and Iran, not on Israel. To initiate a war against Israel and then use children as shields is so evil and disgusting that...
Israel at War: Problems and Fallacies
Now that Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian people (who elected Hamas), the people of southern Lebanon (who sit idly by as a group of armed thugs turn their country into a base of operations), Syria, and Iran have showed their hands and begun a shooting war with Israel...
United Nations is Guilty for the Death of its Observers
Responsibility for the death of four United Nations observers in Lebanon falls primarily on Kofi Annan and the UN--not Israel. Leaving aside the obvious question as to why these observers remained in the middle of a battle area, a totally irresponsible decision, the...
Western Leaders Provide Comedy to Iran’s Dictators
When the mullahs of the Islamic dictatorship of Iran are not chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," or not issuing money, weapons and orders to their global terrorist networks, or not monitoring the progress of their nuclear weapons program, one can be...
Appeasing a Mortal Enemy: The U.S.-Israeli Suicide Pact
The Iran-Hamas-Hezbollah axis is fully responsible for initiating the war on Israel, but the Islamists' aggression is the logical product of U.S.-Israeli policy. The longstanding commitment of Israel and America to "diplomatic engagement" with Palestinians and...
Israel: No Longer a Paper Tiger?
The blame for the current fighting falls entirely on Israel's enemies, who deploy inhuman methods in the service of barbaric goals. While I wish the armed forces of Israel every success against the terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon and hope they inflict a maximum defeat...
An Energy Lesson from Cuba and China
An unlikely political figure is willing to fight for lower gas prices. His name: Fidel Castro.He's working with foreign investors, including China, to find oil off the Cuban coast, close to American waters.In contrast, American companies aren't looking for oil off the...
Iran Diplomacy Works!
Fantastic news recently! It was widely reported Thursday that a diplomatic solution was finally found regarding the Iran nuke situation! Yes, the three years of apparently useless jibber-jabbering by Europeans has finally paid off big-time! (Shame on me for having...
Washington’s Failed War in Afghanistan
Unlike the seemingly endless war in Iraq, America's campaign in Afghanistan is widely considered a success in the "war on terror." We have nothing more to fear from Afghanistan, our policy makers tell us, because the war accomplished its two main goals: al Qaeda and...
Tribute to Iran
The High Muckety-Muck (HMM) of Iran sent President Bush an 18 page letter this week, doubtless with very tiny writing, in which he wrote: Liberalism and Western style democracy have not been able to help realize the ideals of humanity. Today these two concepts have...
How Israel Can Win
Since I argued in an earlier column that Israel can and must defeat the Palestinian Arabs, a barrage of responses have contested this thesis. Some were trivial (Ha'aretz published an article challenging my right to opine on such matters because I do not live in...
Fidel Castro is a Communist
For fifty years the American left has promoted the image of Fidel Castro as a great humanitarian who has saved his people in a workers' paradise. Here's a fact: Fidel Castro is a communist. Period. Communists are not humanitarians. They are vile, brutal thugs who use...
U.N. Security Council’s Toothless Statement on Iran’s Nuclear Program

Israel’s Substitute for Victory: Managing Conflict Without Resolving It
As Israelis go to the polls, not one of the leading parties offers the option of winning the war against the Palestinian Arabs. It's a striking and dangerous lacuna. First, some background. Wars are won, the historical record shows, when one side feels compelled to...
Rioting for Ineptitude in France
The students are rioting in Paris, again, and the streets of Dublin are quiet. The dissimilarity flows from the differences in the way the political-economic systems are run in France and Ireland. In France's overly-planned, overly-socialist economy, the unemployment...
Debunking a Reported Defiance of Economic Law in South Korea
It’s sign of the corruption of our culture that today, businessmen feel the need to hide behind the mantle of corrupt ideology and pretend that what springs from their fundamentally life-giving self-interest comes instead from the government, the agency that can give only destruction and death.
Civil War in Iraq
The bombing on February 22 of the Askariya shrine in Samarra, Iraq, was a tragedy, but it was not an American or a coalition tragedy. The destruction of the Golden Dome, built in 1905 and one of the holiest shrines of Shiite Islam, represents an escalation of the...

This then is the real reason the United Nations seeks control of the Internet. It’s particularly interested in gaining access to your personal records.
Why “Diplomacy” with Iran Had to Fail
European diplomats, who courted Iran in an attempt to halt its suspected nuclear weapons program, regret that "diplomacy" did not dissuade Iran from its plans. But this failure was foreseeable. Europe's diplomatic effort was touted as a reasonable way to settle the...
BOOKS: The Destitution of Pre-Capitalist Europe
What were the cause(s) of the high death rate in the first half of the century – and of its diminishment in the second half?
Serious or Suicidal: The Intelligentsia’s Approval of the Iranian Nuclear Program
When you are boating on the Niagara River, there are signs marking the point at which you must go ashore or else you will be sucked over the falls. With Iran moving toward the development of nuclear weapons, we are getting dangerously close to that fatal point of no...

U.S. Should Not “Stay The Course” In Iraq
In Iraq, we must crush the insurgency immediately–which includes choking its backers, Iran and Syria–and let the Iraqis themselves take on the responsibility of establishing a government that will not threaten America.
Reflections on the 2005 Revolution in France
The rioting by Muslim youth that began October 27 in France to calls of “Allahu Akbar” may be a turning point in European history.

Understanding the Paris Riots: Multiculturalism and the Self-Liquidation of Europe

Riots in France: The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris
Riots that began on the outskirts of Paris have spread into the center of the French capital and to other communities in other parts of the country. Thousands of cars have been set on fire and the police and even medical personnel have been shot at. Like many other...
Iran’s Final Solution Plan
"Iran's stance has always been clear on this ugly phenomenon [i.e., Israel]. We have repeatedly said that this cancerous tumor of a state should be removed from the region." No, those are not the words of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking last week....
Che Guevara “The Motorcycle Diaries”
But the mass executioner gets a standing ovation by the same people in the U.S who oppose capitol punishment! Is there a psychiatrist in the house?!
On the U.S. Obligation in Iraq
Democrats and Republicans, liberal media as well as Fox News, all seem to take for granted the following position on Iraq, as (in this instance) reported today at MSNBC.com: "The constitution is a crucial step in Iraq's transition to democracy after two decades of...
Proposed Iraqi Constitution Will Not Bring Freedom to Iraq or Security to America.
As the world eagerly watches the Iraqi constitutional referendum, the Bush administration and its intellectual supporters herald the occasion as a historic step toward freedom in the Middle East and security for America. This view betrays an appalling ignorance of the...
