There are reports that Somali pirates, by hijacking an Iranian vessel and then mysteriously becoming ill and dying of radiation poisoning, prevented a plot to detonate a ship full of radioactive sand off the coast of Israel.
Within a period of three days, those pirates who had boarded the ship and opened the cargo container with [...]

Here’s the speech Sarah Palin wasn’t allowed to give yesterday—and a powerful speech it is.
Caroline Glick reacts.
Protesting Iran

Francis Beckwith and Meryl Yourish have details on how the Democrats have played hardball to prevent Sarah Palin from showing up at a protest of Iran. I like David Bernstein’s comment best:
Let me get this straight: if the only prominent American politician to attend a rally against Iran is Hillary Clinton, the rally is [...]

Britain’s Channel 4 visited mosques to find out what was being preached and taught, and discovered disturbing evidence that Saudi-funded mosques convey hate-filled political messages.
A female reporter attends prayer meetings at an important British mosque which claims to be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths. She secretly films shocking sermons given to the [...]

On many issues, John McCain’s position is far enough to the left, and Barack Obama’s position is muddy enough, that it’s hard to draw sharp distinctions between them. That, I think, will be McCain’s most serious liability throughout the campaign. On some issues, however, they differ starkly. Fighting terrorism is one.
Obama wants [...]

“Civilizations die by suicide, not by murder.” I’ve been thinking about Toynbee’s dictum over the past few days, recalling as well the title of Paul Johnson’s chapter on the sixties and seventies in Modern Times: “America’s Suicide Attempt.” I’ve been concerned for some time that we’re repeating the mistakes of the 1970s.
