Iran Revolt Vindicates Neoconservative Ideals — and the Iraq War
(Welcome, GayPatriot readers) Since he turned against the Iraq War that he once championed, Andrew Sullivan has taken to using the term “neocon” as a curse word. “The neocon hope that Ahmadinejad keeps himself in power – barely disguised any more – seems to me premature,” Sullivan said a few days ago — while linking […]

Here’s Hoping Iran is the Next Domino for Democracy
Pity the mullahs who cling to power in Iran. With budding (albeit flawed) democracies to the east and west, with tens of thousands of angry people protesting the tainted election of a figurehead, with web-savvy dissidents informing the world via Twitter, YouTube and Flickr — what’s a frightened theocrat to do? Here’s my favorite image […]

A Religion of Peace? Only With Careful Editing
I’m a fan of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies — an organization I was predisposed to love as soon as I heard their name. Their weekly FDD Update newsletter provides an extremely comprehensive review of each week’s developments in the defining struggle of our age — the war against Islamic fascism. There’s a large […]

Obama’s National Security Policy Looks Like Bush’s Third Term. Thank Goodness.
Krauthammer today: The genius of democracy is that the rotation of power forces the opposition to come to its senses when it takes over. When the new guys, brought to power by popular will, then adopt the policies of the old guys, a national consensus is forged and a new legitimacy established. Exactly right. I […]

VDH Describes Our Topsy-Turvy Times
Victor Davis Hanson is one of my favorite political writers. He brilliantly weaves together seemingly unrelated news events to describe patterns that others cannot yet see. I wish I had been aware of him on September 11, 2001, because he went into overdrive, producing 38 outstanding essays before the end of the year about the […]

Oliphant Takes Dehumanization of Jews into the Mainstream
Clifford May of the indispensable Foundation for Defense of Democracies weighs in on the Oliphant cartoon: Let’s not call the political cartoonist Pat Oliphant an anti-Semite or even an Israel-basher.

Oliphant’s Cartoon Is Not Just Despicable, It’s Dangerous
At Israel Insider, Barry Rubin does the best job I’ve seen of describing precisely why Pat Oliphant’s recent cartoon — featuring a goose-stepping, headless swordsman pushing a Jew-shark-on-a-unicycle — is so powerful, and so powerfully offensive. Hat tip: Andy McCarthy. Is the cartoon truly anti-Semitic, or is it “merely” anti-Israel? I say both, but whatever. […]

My Kind of Dangerous Muslim Jihadi
Mad props to Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, better known as Dr. Fadl, for attacking al-Qaeda from the jihadi perspective. (Hat tip: Cliff May) Half an hour ago I had not heard of Dr. Fadl, but apparently he is an al-Qaeda co-founder. Remember that when al-Qaeda was founded, its primary mission was not to terrorize America, but […]
