The New Pyramid Builders
by Edward Cline
(April 5, 2008)
As Nikita Khrushchev once promised that the Soviet Union would 'bury" the U.S. as an industrial power, Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf neighbors are promising to bury the U.S. as a global competitor. Instead of demanding that it acknowledge the "superiority" of communism, they will require that the U.S. become a deferential handmaiden of Islam, if not an Islamic province itself.

Terrorism: The Price of Bush's Commitment to Palestinian Statehood
by Elan Journo
(March 28, 2008)
If the mass of Palestinians just want peace and a better life, they would not despise and war against the only state in the region, Israel, that protects individual rights and that offers a standard of living far superior to (even the richest) Arab regimes. They would be far better off, freer and safer, if they put away their rocks, bullets and dynamite belts and sought to live and work in Israel (as some once did).

How to Stop Iran?
by Elan Journo
(June 21, 2007)
Bush's disastrous foreign policy--especially the Iraq fiasco--has led many to conclude that diplomatic "engagement" is our best hope for stopping Iran's nuclear program. But while Bush's policy is a failure, engagement is not the solution.

Washington's Make-Believe Policy on Iran
by Elan Journo
(February 12, 2007)
Washington has resigned itself to the emergence of a nuclear Iran (and an endless insurgency in Iraq), because our leaders do not believe we have the moral right to stop it.

Decision Time on Iran
by Daniel Pipes
(November 3, 2006)
Either the U.S. government deploys force to prevent Tehran from acquiring nukes, or Tehran acquires them.

In Iraq, Stay the Course -- But Change It
by Daniel Pipes
(October 25, 2006)
The idea has developed since World War II that when the United States protects its interests by invading a country, it then has a moral obligation to rehabilitate it. This assumption is wrong and needs to be re-evaluated.

Children as Bombs
by Ralph R. Reiland
(September 20, 2006)
As if things weren't crazy enough already in the Middle East, here's the officially sanctioned message in sixth-grade Palestinian textbooks for 11- and 12-year-old kids: "The noble soul has two goals: death and the desire for it."

Israel's Government Deserves Moral Condemnation
by Glenn Woiceshyn
(August 14, 2006)
The Government of Israel deserves moral condemnation for its overall response to Hezbollah.

End the Cycle of Militant Islam's Aggression
by Joseph Kellard
(August 7, 2006)
We should condemn those who condemn Israel's response to Hezbollah's initial aggression of kidnappings and missile fire as "disproportionate." Actually, Israel isn't being nearly disproportionate enough in its military campaign in Lebanon.

Blame Hezbollah and Iran for Death of Qana Children
by Glenn Woiceshyn
(July 31, 2006)
Responsibility for the tragic deaths of scores of Lebanese women and children in Qana, Lebanon falls on Hezbollah and its backers, Syria and Iran, not on Israel.

Appeasing a Mortal Enemy: The U.S.-Israeli Suicide Pact
by Elan Journo
(July 20, 2006)
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 Islamists--a euphemism for appeasement--is suicidal.

A "Cycle" of Nonsense
by Thomas Sowell
(July 18, 2006)
Those who keep calling for an end to the "cycle of violence" are what make such violence more likely.

Israel: No Longer a Paper Tiger?
by Daniel Pipes
(July 18, 2006)
In a mishmash of appeasement and retreat, Israel's enemies rapidly lost their fears and came to see Israel as a paper tiger.

Freedom vs. Democracy: How The U.S. Government Created a Crisis in the Middle East
by Peter Schwartz
(July 18, 2006)
America helped empower Hezbollah, by confusing the idea of freedom, which rests on the principle of inalienable individual rights, with the idea of democracy, which rests on the principle of unlimited majority rule.

The Fate of Lebanon
by Alan Caruba
(July 16, 2006)
The real occupying power in Lebanon is terror--terror instigated by Hezbollah, but initiated, funded and perpetrated by Syria and Iran.

Why Peace Eludes the Middle East
by Michael J. Hurd
(July 15, 2006)
Appeasement doesn't work.

Washington's Pro-Hamas Foreign Policy
by Elan Journo
(May 23, 2006)
America's policy of backing "land for peace" deals in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was supposed to stop Palestinian terrorism and culminate in a Palestinian state coexisting with Israel "side by side in peace and security." But after years of Israeli concessions, and after American pleas to embrace "leaders uncompromised by terror," the Palestinians chose Hamas--a terrorist group committed to destroying Israel and creating a totalitarian Islamic regime.

Tribute to Iran
by John Lewis
(May 18, 2006)
Without Iran, Hamas--and the war--would not last long. So what have American leaders done about this?

How Israel Can Win
by Daniel Pipes
(April 19, 2006)
Since I argued in an earlier column that Israel can and must defeat the Palestinian Arabs, a barrage of responses have contested this thesis.

Time to Fight the Real War
by Robert W. Tracinski
(April 16, 2006)
Four and a half years after September 11--which was supposed to awaken us to the threat of devastating attacks by state-sponsored terrorists--America is finally beginning to confront the world's largest and most dangerous state sponsor of terrorism: the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Israel's Substitute for Victory: Managing Conflict Without Resolving It
by Daniel Pipes
(March 28, 2006)
While the Arab effort has been patient, intense, and purposeful, it has also failed. Israelis have built a modern, affluent, and strong country, but one still largely rejected by Arabs. This mixed record has spawned two political developments: a sense of confidence among politically moderate Israelis; and a sense of guilt and self-criticism among its leftists.

Civil War in Iraq
by Daniel Pipes
(March 2, 2006)
Civil war in Iraq, in short, would be a humanitarian tragedy but not a strategic one.
|
The HAMAS Pledge of Global Warfare
by John Lewis
(February 14, 2006)
Many western intellectuals and politicians claim that the Middle East groups advocating violence are not really religious, but rather political fascists. This directly contradicts the claims made by these groups themselves, who do not separate religion from politics, and fight expressly in the name of God.
