The biggest story of the last few days has been Israel’s interception of peace activist ship to Gaza, in which they killed nine peace activists. Here is a picture of some peace activists holding down a soldier at knifepoint, with what appears to be a pool of blood on the bulkheads. When the the picture …

Freedom flotilla vs Israeli Defence Forces.
Don’t take a knife to a gunfight. Israel is blockading Gaza. Activists attempted to force the blockade with pathetically inadequate weapons. Perhaps the intent was to suffer some pathetic casualties, that they could then whine about, or perhaps they were just stupid. If you are going to engage soldiers and marines, you should either take …
The strong horse
As a result of our defeat, Arab terrorists have moved into Korengal valley. Now Al Quaeda has safe haven in Korengal and their objectives will not be restricted to protecting the freedom of those in Korengal, but destroying our freedom in lands far from Korengal, murdering Jews and Americans, wherever we may be, anywhere in …
Losing in Afghanistan
In trying to impose the Kabul government on them, we are imposing injustice. Thus the only possible ways of winning are to rule them ourselves, colonial style, or slaughter enough of them that the Taliban decides not to tolerate anyone who goes looking for trouble with far away infidels.
In favor of war
Bad people are always willing to fight. If good people are not willing to fight, they will surrender in a succession of small steps, and bad people will rule. Without England declaring war, the Nazis would have ruled by 1942. Without Reagan encouraging a multitude of small wars, the communists would have ruled by 1990

How many Muslims are moderate? In the recent Iraq election, moderates gained, just barely, a plurality. Not a majority, a plurality. To govern, they will need the support of some violently immoderate people. They have a plurality because the various different kinds of extremist hate each other, splitting the extremist vote.
Allies and enemies
You will observe that Obama regime is full of noisy outrage that Israel is building housing in Jerusalem, most of which will be occupied by Jews, as Israel has been doing for the past forty years, ever since it seized the rest of Jerusalem and announced that all of Jerusalem, Jerusalem undivided, was the eternal …
Torture the underpants bomber
Fifty eight percent of those polled favor “aggressive interrogation techniques such as waterboardingâ€Â for Umar Farouk. He should be asked who gave him the bomb, and where they gave him the bomb. We should then kill everyone in the general vicinity of where the bomb came from. Not because we cannot afford to lose a …
The extraordinary inanity of nation building
When first I saw slides from this presentation, I assumed them to be parody, but no, they are the real thing. The people planning this war really are this stupid, crazy, and evil.
Against Libertarian Imperialism
Faré on Distributed Republic criticizes the Rothbardians for supporting the enemies of their country. Many libertarians, after Rothbard, start from the correct assumption that one’s government is one’s first and most direct enemy, to the conclusion that one should always side with the enemies of one’s current oppressor. Rothbardians are wrong in supporting our enemies …
