Obama’s Afghanistan Speech

Frankly, I’m bored with Obama by now, so why blog about his speech, except that he interrupted primetime TV to make it? From the transcript: In the days that followed [the 9/11 attacks], our nation was united as we struck at al-Qaida and routed the Taliban in Afghanistan. Then, our focus shifted. A second war […]

Not ‘Hostilities,’ Just ‘Imminent Danger’

What U.S. forces are doing in Libya is not “hostilities,” the White House said last week — because “hostilities” is the key word in the War Powers Act, which the White House insists doesn’t apply to Libya.

Pacifism and Historical Ignorance

“For a therapeutically inclined generation raised on Oprah and Dr. Phil — and not on the letters of William Tecumseh Sherman and William Shirer’s Berlin Diary — problems between states, like those in our personal lives, should be argued about by equally civilized and peaceful rivals, and so solved without resorting to violence.” — Victor […]

Beating Women Drivers?

Strange news from Saudi Arabia: A campaign has been launched on Facebook calling for men to beat Saudi women who drive their cars in a planned protest next month against the ultra-conservative kingdom’s ban on women taking the wheel.
