'You Play to Win the Game'
Matthew May

Annapolis Equals de facto Recognition of Israel
James Lewis
A strong case can be made that the mere fact of Annapolis Middle East Peace summit between the Arab countries, the Palestinians and Israel is the biggest breakthrough in Israel-Arab relations since the 1979 Peace Treaty with Egypt. More

The Four State Solution
Gamaliel Isaac

Road to Nowhere
Richard Baehr
The effort to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians is today premised on the belief that if Israel withdrew from the West Bank, there would soon be a basis for achieving a stable two state solution. This is nonsense. More

The Curiously Discreet Candidate

JFK Truthers Finally Losing Ground
John Huettner
Before the 9/11 truthers came the JFK truthers. Fantasies about dark machinations surrounding the death of President Kennedy laid the spiritual groundwork for today's claims of bizarre plots behind the events of 9/11. In both cases, the obviously guilty culprits are ignored in favor of more desirable political targets. More

Monuments to Wimpdom
Duncan Maxwell Anderson
What modern war memorials have in common with each other is nothing. They portray nothingness. They have no people in them, never mind men carrying guns or swords, statues of Winged Victory, or even doves of peace. Just death and names -- grief without glory. More

The 'Torture' Fraud of the Left

'Global Warming' as Pathological Science
James Lewis
Trofimko Lysenko is not a household name; but it should be, because he was the model for all the Politically Correct "science" in the last hundred years. Lysenko was Stalin's favorite agricultural "scientist," peddling the myth that crops could be just trained into growing bigger and better. More
