« January 2005 | Main | March 2005 » February 28, 2005Syria - the latest thug on the scene in the middle eastSyria's thuggery in the Middle East cannot be appeased, or allowed ot stand. International News Article | Reuters.com What a sign of remarkable change in the Middle East that an Arab news station is willing to go public to a Western news agency about the death threats it received. It seems as if there are more and more people in the Middle East who don't want to do business the usual way. Yahoo! News - Palestinians Angry Over Tel Aviv AttackNow we find out if Abu Mazen is up to snuff, a break from Palestinians nihilistic path, and ally to the forces of civilization and freedom, or whether he's just more of the same, but wrapped in a different wrapper. February 27, 2005Melanie Phillips's Diary: The global warming scam - Eco -I have no clue whether or not global warming is really taking place or not. But I resent that any scientist who does not come down on the "right", or should I say, "left" side of the debate is considered questionable. lgf: Columbia Implodes!My sense is that Columbia University don't quite know what is about to hit them. Perhaps the President and the Provost should get in touch with Eason Jordan, or Dan Rather for a clue. lgf: Columbia Implodes! I wonder how long it takes for the website, "Columbiagate" to start. February 20, 2005Larry Summers - Professor Nancy HopkinsIts stories like this one about Larry Summers at Harvard, that renew my faith that our civilization will not, "go to hell in a handbasket" The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's brilliant scientist Steven Pinker put it better than I can: "Look, the truth cannot be offensive. Perhaps the hypothesis is wrong, but how would we ever find out whether it is wrong if it is 'offensive' even to consider it? People who storm out of a meeting at the mention of a hypothesis, or declare it taboo or offensive without providing arguments or evidence, don't get the concept of a university or free inquiry." February 17, 2005Der Privat Investor - Guy Spier in GermanFor the last two years, on my annual pilgrimage to Omaha, I have participated in a meeting of German speaking Berkshire Hathaway investors. One of them, Max Otte decided to translate it into German and send it to his subscribers. For more about Max, and his site go here: Click here to get a copy of the letter: About Dr. Otte
February 14, 2005Victor Davis Hanson on Democracy in the National Review OnlineVictor Davis Hanson is great, to my mind. I have just finished his book, Ripples of Battle, and am now reading Carnage and Culture. Victor Davis Hanson on Democracy on National Review Online I am only sorry that I did not read about him sooner. February 08, 2005Dershowitz Says Faculty Members Work To Encourage Islamic Terrorism - February 8, 2005 - The New York SunFebruary 07, 2005Photo of Palestinian Boy Kindles Debate in FranceIt is becoming more and more apparent to the world's media that it swallowed a big one - hook, line and sinker from "Pallywood" when it reported that Mohammed Al Dura was killed by the Israel military. It is pretty clear at this point that the Israeli military did not kill Mohammed, and that it was firing from the Palestinian side that killed him. Watch France's Europe 2 engage in multiple machinations to prevent the truth form coming out. The New York Times > Business > World Business > Photo of Palestinian Boy Kindles Debate in France February 06, 2005CNN's line of fire - The Washington Times: Editorials/OP-ED -Eason Jordan of CNN thought he was safe when he claimed that he knew of at least 12 journalists that had been targeted by the US military. Well, blogs such as Captain's Quarters and Powerline and Hugh Hewitt have "smelt blood". In my view, its only a matter of time before "Easongate" makes it into the Mainstream news. CNN's line of fire - The Washington Times: Editorials/OP-ED - February 04, 2005 Also see: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=14613 and February 02, 2005!What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?Melanie Phillips's Diary: The Iraq electionMelanie Phillips's Diary: The Iraq election For the moment, they are routed. The grudging tones and surly looks of the anti-war camp, as they are obliged to comment through gritted teeth on the undiluted joy of the immensely brave and determined Iraqi people who have never in living memory been able to choose how they are governed, provides a shocking reminder of the moral sickness of the west. The anti-war camp is having to watch the awesome spectatcle of the assertion of the deepest human instinct for freedom -- an instinct they have done everything in their power to frustrate. At every stage of the Iraq war, they have talked down the enterprise, predicted dire outcomes, dwelt disprortionately on every setback and never reported the advances being made -- in short, mounted a propaganda assault based on lies in the service of defeatism and appeasement. In the process, they have given succour to the forces of darkness who have been stacking up the bodies of the murdered higher and higher against the incoming tide of freedom. But it didn't work. The Iraqis have pulled off their election against unprecedented odds and in the face of murderous violence. Their leaders have behaved throughout not just with astonishing bravery but with shrewdness, maturity and self-restraint.
