From the mouths of babes in the woods...

Answering a plagiarist

A Question of Timing

Iraq and the 60's

The seductive cult of eternal victimhood

Steven Spielberg's latest masterpiece, Munich, is looking more and more like it's tanking. And good riddance. But by making a movie about something so relatively recent, it's allowed people who...

Democrats Are Right on NSA Spying Case

Iraqi elections and family road trips

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step

I've often heard said, and repeated, that Islam is an "immature" religion, that it still is in its young, expansionist phase. Judaism and Christianity both went through their militant, conquering...

The deafening silence

A little while ago, I praised our ambassador to the United Nations, the "controversial" John Bolton, for some of his successes since assuming his office in New York. It turns...

Quantum physics, exit strategies, and "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!"

Everything you ever wanted to know about Saddam's WMDs, but the MSM was too afraid to tell you

I can't vouch for this guy's credibility, but he certainly seems to know his stuff. Lots of details -- the kind that seem pretty plausible to me -- on Saddam's...

Everything old is new again, Part II

A question for those still outraged over the Plame leak...

Why is is that the Plame case leads for demands that Karl Rove or other high officials "get frog-marched out of the White House," but leaks like this one (or...

For Christ's sake, Part II

For Queen And Country?

Elizabeth II, Queen of England, is pretty much a figurehead, as well as practically a model of a matriarch of a dysfunctional family. She's titularly the Head of State of...

Coming to terms on the war in Iraq

One of the aspects of the anti-war movement that has gotten on my nerves is the blatant dishonesty of the debate. In order to have a reasonable discussion, both sides...
