Tech Central Station's James Glassman has an excellent article on Benedict Arnold politicians who attempt to hurt the U.S. economy for short-term political gain. Democrat Presidential hopeful John "Flipper" Kerry, who was forced to co-opt every single one of his opponents' positions because he had none of his own, has been promising to "review" all […]
Pardon the pun, but Libya's WMD program was able to make some plutonium for a nuclear weapon. Libya has agreed to international inspections and to give up its WMD programs because our diplomats asked them nicely the swift and brutal manner in which Saddam Hussein's regime was taken care of scared Libya's leader Moammar Qaddafi.

The administration's fear was that American troops could be arrested and held on politically motivated charges. Well, it once again appears that Bush was right. British use of cluster bombs in the Iraq war […]
Yesterday's Nicholas Kristof column is a must-read for the anti-globalization, anti-trade, left-wing fringe. I've written before that cheap labor is the most valuable resource of many poor nations, and Kristof vividly illustrates this point. Cambodia has a fair trade system and promotes itself as an enlightened garment producer. That's great. But if the U.S. tries […]
Anytime any Republican questions the wisdom of a Democrat's foreign policy pronouncements, such criticism is in turn attacked as questioning the Democrat's patriotism.
