An examination of the differences between recent and past US nation building efforts; why the latter succeeded and the former failed. [...] Five members of “an Israeli family” — antiseptically left unnamed by the Times — were knifed to death in their sleep but the gravamen of the story was that the Israelis responded by deciding to build more settlements on the West Bank, a decision, our former paper of record sniffed, that “the attack and the [...] Instead of increasing its interaction with foreign nations' law enforcement and intelligence agencies, the Department of Homeland Security should focus on building relationships with local police agencies and private-sector security departments in order to secure infrastructure and U.S. borders, say security experts. [...] Ron Paul has a broad base of support and is the only GOP presidential candidate who is not a neocon. [...] TSA is a law unto itself and is designed to intimidate the public and insulate its employees from outside accountability. Observe how their uniforms now look like police uniforms. [...] In theory, it may beat commonly praised alternatives. But to what extent can we rely on it in practice? [...] The military justice system demands justice for our troops, not revenge upon them to curry favor with others. [...] Most Americans share the goal of defeating Obama at any cost. They will have to do it without Paul supporters, who seem to have a very different kind of moral compass. [...] About a week ago, Katie Kieffer dared to ask a few questions of the sort I have in mind on Townhall.com, tentatively advancing the proposition that Ron Paul is not entirely insane. Directly opposing her signature photo on the Townhall homepage was the equally lovely visage of Star Parker—whose column charged Paul supporters with being [...] Truth be told, because entitlement spending has tripled while defense spending declined as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), entitlement spending (Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security) is now 10 percent of GDP, whereas defense spending is only 5 percent. [...] The nearly $500 billion in cuts proposed yesterday by the President are likely to weaken the national security of the United States. If nothing is done, Obama’s cuts will become gashes. [...] Strange things can happen behind closed doors. [...] The average age of a Paul supporter is about 20 – which means they haven’t a clue about the constitution or the world they live in. Ron Paul will not rule out a third-party run, if he happens to lose the GOP nomination. [...] Sources say that Manning should have been disciplined in May 2010 when he physically attacked and injured a fellow intelligence analyst, and in December 2009 when he was involved in an incident in which he became enraged, overturned a table and attempted to grab a weapon from a nearby gun rack. [...] But our policies definitely had an influence and you talk to the people who committed it and those individuals who would like to do us harm they say yes we didn’t like American bombs to be falling on our country, we don’t like the intervention we do in their nations so to deny this is [...] The single quickest act that the White House and the State Department can perform, short of launching an armed attack on Iranian forces and territory, is to reverse a fourteen year old politically-driven faulty decision to place the Iranian resistance group Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), aka the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), on the State [...] There is a close connection between terrorists and transnational organized crime, and officials are becoming increasingly concerned. [...] ICE union president Chris Crane told the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration that the new ICE policy puts both the public and ICE agents at risk. [...] The real tragedy is that terrorists have forced us to choose between dying and abandoning civil liberties. [...] Considering the present situation in Iraq and the rest of the region, removing Saddam Hussein might not have been the best idea. [...] Analyzing the truth behind repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell. Don't be fooled by the spin. [...] "There is a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don't see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it's vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who's right, isn't it smart to be as strong as the bear?
