I rarely watch the 11 o’clock news as the shallowness of its coverage inevitably depresses me. CTV is particularly bad, as tonight’s segment on the Dawe family’s statement reminded me. I don’t have a clip of the segment, wherein CTV included more than a minute’s worth of statements from the family saying that […]

Here’s an interesting analysis by Frederick Kagan and Kimberly Kagan of the new coalition strategy in Iraq. The surge now complete, coalition forces have a tactical hand to play unprecidented since their invasion of Iraq in 2003. Kagan and Kagan tell of three lessons informing Gen. Petraeus, and other leaders, drawn from past […]

Mad as hell about the knighthood of Salman Rushdie, among other grievances, the least of which being that the UK and America are not ruled by Islamic law, Muslims in Britain are now inciting their brethren to assert sovereignty over the West; that freedom of religion is not true freedom of religion for Muslims until […]

With the release of the new movie A Might Heart, Mark Steyn shares some of his earlier commentary on the Daniel Pearl saga:
…. Fisk settles on a “shameful, unethical headline†over an “article by Mark Steyn†in Pearl’s own Wall Street Journal. It was about Fisk’s bloody beating by an Afghan mob in Pakistan last […]

As passed along via email. How genuine I do not know, but it gets the point across.
A lady libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the government, complaining
about the treatment of a captive insurgents (terrorists) being held […]

To mark the birthday of HM, the subsequent knighthood of Salman Rushie, crazy Muslims have taken to the streets … again:
The international row over Salman Rushdie’s knighthood escalated after Islamic extremists placed a £80,000 bounty on the writer’s head.
The British Government expressed its “deep concern” over reported comments by one of Pakistan’s ministers which suggested […]

Since I seem to be The Politic’s resident anglophile, here’s another update on the 25th anniversary of the Falkland’s War. Historically it is a fascinating struggle that not only defined the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, but remains a case study in national self-determination (for the Falklanders) and the legitimate defence of sovereign national interest […]

Liberal democracy in Russia has been spiralling downward for some time. With present threats to aim missiles at the West, as in the days of the Cold War, Canada and the rest of the Western world better start taking this threat seriously. Here is a good open letter to the G8 by […]

Michael Yon reports on “Death or Glory,” his journies with The Queen’s Royal Lancers in Iraq; the first installment of four. Good reportage on what is otherwise grossly underreported in the MSM.:
The Queen’s Royal Lancers have been living out in the desert for about six months, like nomads moving from place to place, sleeping […]
