Good news in Iraq - the surge is working…
The US military says the number of civilian deaths has also fallen 60 per cent since the surge took effect, with a drop of 75 per cent in Baghdad. According to icasualties.org, the average monthly US death toll dropped from 96 for the first half of 2007 […]

Strangely, the left appears not to have picked up on anything Buchanan describes about Guiliani:
Speaking to an Atlantic Bridge conference in London, Rudy called for NATO expansion to include Japan, India, Australia, Singapore and Israel. Has Rudy thought this through?
Why would Japan and Australia, each of which already has a U.S. commitment to come to […]

It’s an interesting question, and Roger L. Simon says without a doubt, Gore would have invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, and US foreign policy would not look much different than it does now.
You may not believe me, but I don’t even think it’s much of a stretch, certainly no grand fictional scheme à la […]

The reviews are in on this new movie, filmed by Canadians, with a Canadian playing the lead role of Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian commander of the United Nations force sent to “keep the peace” in the middle of one of the worst genocides in world history, 1994, Rwanda.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I reccommend […]

Fanciful idealists often take for grant how exceptional a just liberal democratic regime can be. The present Governor-General of Australia, careered in the Australian army, offers some interesting insight into defending it in Malaysia. He also comments on why republicanism, in Australia, should not be taken lightly.
In 1999, Australians voted […]

I have the highest regard for Harper’s brave and principled foreign policy. Starting with his outspoken response to the attacks on Israel out of southern Lebanon, and his previous refusals to butter up to China the way his Liberal predecessors, at Maurice Strong’s urging (see also, this and this and, better yet, this), […]

I love it!
This guy, be he potentially the oldest man to become President of the United States, never gives up. And furthermore, he stands on principle no matter what; namely, Iraq is doable.
Here’s an interesting piece contemplating whether the McCain campaign is coming back to life after a tough summer. I sure hope […]

This man will be a great Conservative leader one day.
My favourite Bernier story:
Maxime Bernier reclines his lean, six-foot plus frame in his constituency office and recounts with relish how he lost hundreds of new jobs for his riding.
After his election as the new Conservative MP for the Beauce, the “distinct society within a distinct society” […]

Fascinating interview on the Dennis Prager Radio Show with the author of “The Suicide of Reason,” Lee Harris.
Harris, a self-described “gay man” who dedicates his recent book to his “partner of twenty years,” tells how the orgins of Islam, be it the origins of an inner-worldly political community, were and are, out of necessity, violent. […]

Speaking to the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars National Convention, George Bush ushered up some powerful examples from history to explain why America should not lose sight of victory in Iraq and Afghanistan. In a break with past avoidance of any comparison to Vietnam, President Bush takes it square on:
Three decades later, there is […]
