Withdraw if they shoot back. Words do not always suffice to defend democratic values. The new, stylish way to commit suicide. Climate-gate and good intentions that redeem bad deeds. Sanctions could save Iran from the Mullah's folly. The Dictator's Tantrum.

Promises, reality and terror. Oppressive liberators. The lawfulness of revolutions that ultimately fail their supporters. Prophets in error and the light-tower of the present's failures. What if we encourage our civil servants to strike permanently?

The Left is not against the unshared good life of some but against the good life as such. Frustrated elites and their disdain for the middle class. The skipped revolution: the masses refuse their redeemers. Who does not trust the common man? When words fail: the propaganda of deeds. If you are overheard in life, [...]

The governing class, its power and wealth. State intervention and curing the market cures. Separating state and church was easier than untying the government and the economy. Is the choice between honest poverty and crooked wealth? The interests of the "state class" and the people. How neutral can the state be? Wealth, well-being and the [...]

Justice to the Middle Ages. Cultural success and the dynamism of the West. Free ideas against stolid dogmatism. The dogmas of security and the uncertainties of freedom. The nature of the challenge determines the proper response to it. The value of the dollar. Obama's dilemma: How much surrender is volatile support worth? Welfare competes with earned [...]
