David Warren has a post up that is well worth reading. Best part:
The purpose of terrorism is to terrify: to drive us nuts, to leave us incoherent, to make us run away. To spread fear and confusion, feeding upon each other. To make, for instance, the American electorate think: “O dear, Iraq is a […]
I really like this David Brooks column.
First he gives us a bit of historical perspective:
Conditions were horrible when Salvadorans went to the polls on March 28, 1982. The country was in the midst of a civil war that would take 75,000 lives. An insurgent army controlled about a third of the nation’s territory. Just before […]
David Ignatius argues that they are in the Washington Post:
Looking at the gruesome images of beheadings and suicide bombings in Iraq, it’s easy to think that the Islamic holy warriors are winning. But a new book by a distinguished French Arabist named Gilles Kepel argues the opposite case. For all the mayhem the jihadists have […]

(via Instapundit, where there are more Health Care links as well.)
I might work up a long post of my own on health care at some point. I have a few ideas […]
I have mentioned Sprit of America before, but seeing a post on them by Instapundit reminded me that it might be a good idea to mention them again here as well as donate some cash to that worthy cause.
Check out their site and what they are doing if you are unfamiliar with them. This […]
I didn’t buy Hillary Clinton’s Living History even though I think she is a fascinating character with a great story to tell. Problem is, I don’t think right now she is at all interested in telling her story, so much as selling herself as a politician. While that can be interesting in its […]
