CounterpointIt is not that they love peace less, but that they love their kind of peace more.(Untitled)- August 25, 2003 Ayn Rand. "The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles." Motivational Quotes of the Day George W. Bush, you bible-thumping imbecile, you are guilty!http://radio.weblogs.com/0001200/2003/08/25.html#a711 (Untitled)- August 25, 2003 Will anxious voters choose an ideological extremist over an incumbent president OpinionJournal Probably not, and that's a pity. Goldwater was a great man. Dean is an ideological extremist (from what I can tell though, very left wing). We need someone like Goldwater again...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001200/2003/08/25.html#a710 (Untitled)- August 25, 2003 Iran Sends Al Qaeda Members to Saudi Arabia. The Islamic Republic News Agency has reported that Iran extradited "a number" of highly-placed Al Qaeda members to our allies the Saudis: little green footballs Yet another cuntry that Bush Jr. has done nothing to, despite much more evidence than Iraq that it sponsors terrorism. What about Saudi North Koreahttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001200/2003/08/25.html#a709 Message to the Democrats- August 25, 2003 I'm pro war. Not Bush's pathetic version of it but the kind that includes killing our real enemies, not just the ones on the periphery. Yes, that means Saudi Arabia and Iran. Without remorse and without apology. I fucking despise Bush and would like nothing more than to boot him out of office. I'm far from the only one that feels this way. (Demand) So, where the hell are your candidates The ones that aren't loons (Supply) I kinda like Dean, only because he's an Angry Man. I can't stand.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001200/2003/08/25.html#a708 Manifest destiny warmed up- August 18, 2003 America, it is said, is the world's latest imperial power. Don't believe it.http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=1988940 Supremacy by Stealth- August 18, 2003 It is a cliché these days to observe that the United States now possesses a global empire -- different from Britain's and Rome's but an empire nonetheless. It is time to move beyond a statement of the obvious. Our recent effort in Iraq, with its large-scale mobilization of troops and immense concentration of risk, is not indicative of how we will want to act in the future. So how should we operate on a tactical level to manage an unruly world What are the rules and what are the toolshttp://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2003/07/kaplan.htm This one is straight from Atlas Shrugged- August 15, 2003 The Big Blackout...http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/08/15/power.outage/index.html How We Collapse- August 12, 2003 Professor Hanson is puts his fingers on the contradiction that Western civilization frequently contends with: The burden of the modern Western soldier is not that he is too lethal -- although he is surely that as well -- but that he must be more than a soldier: he must be a humanitarian who seeks to rebuild almost immediately what he finds has been destroyed by his enemy. An American in Iraq must be as concerned to spackle the shattered plaster from his (or others') gun bursts as he is to.http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson081103.asp |
