The Moral Cowardice of France and Germany

France and Germany will pay a woeful price for their cravenness. They have tipped their hand. Their Muslim populations now know that these governments will crumble before them; it’s only a matter of time before the “domestic disturbances” start.

The Iraq Charade

The headline of an Associated Press report from Tuesday declares, "Gaps Appear to Widen over Iraq within UN Security Council." The wording is, perhaps unintentionally, precise: the gaps only appear to be widening. The report informs us -- to no one's surprise, I hope...

Europe vs. America

Israeli Restraint Empowers Terrorists

Even by the grim standards of recent years, the suicide bombings in Tel Aviv last week were horrific. The terrorists, members of the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade (a wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization), positioned themselves at opposite ends of a busy street and...

Snow Job in the Iraqi Desert

Hope for Iran

Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein’s Shop of Horrors

As a boy, writes Kenneth Pollack in his masterful new book on Iraq, "The Threatening Storm," Saddam Hussein would heat an iron poker until it was white-hot, then use it to impale cats and dogs. Years later, when he had boys of his own, he would take them into prisons...

North Korea Building Nuclear Bombs? Perish the Thought

Do you want your child to die fighting in Iraq?

"Do you want your child to die fighting in Iraq?" This type of question is one of the subtle, insidious ways by which pacifists try to undercut the war against Islamic terrorists. To understand how this is done, we must first take an honest look at our enemies....

When will Africa Discover Capitalism?

Wade and other African leaders who are trying to create conditions favorable for investment do need Western assistance, but they don’t need handouts. They need trade-friendly policies, not the usual song and dance on foreign aid. It’s the only way to steer them off “the wrong road” — and put them on the path to prosperity.

The Case for Action Against Iraq

There is no honest question that Saddam is evil. Saddam is a dictator in the classic Stalinist model and Iraq is the antithesis of a free republic. Rather than make reason, persuasion and individual freedom the hallmark of its regime, Iraq relies upon the systematic...
