    Mr. Bush Goes to Albania

    President George W. Bush was greeted by thousands of American-flag waving Albanians and a 21-gun salute during his short visit to Albania on Sunday. Predictably, some will believe that this marks the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it.

    Kosova and Anti-Jihad Bigotry

    The announcement earlier this week by the FBI of the arrest of a terrorist cell near Fort Dix, New Jersey has prompted a number of emails to chastise me. My crime? Having some kind words to say about the Albanian people

    Governor Schwarzenegger Should Go to Nashville

    California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked off his first full term in office this week by announcing during his state-of-the-state address that he intends to implement a state health insurance plan to cover all residents, including illegal aliens.

    Bush's March to the (Mediterranean) Sea

In their numerous recommendations, there are none that are directed towards actually winning the present conflict. Permit me, if you will, to make a completely out-of-Left-field suggestion, one I doubt will ever be entertained inside the Beltway

    In the run-up to Pope Benedict's current visit to Turkey, TIME Magazine opened its pages to Tariq Ramadan, Europe's favorite Islamist and perhaps the most influential Muslim figure in the West today.
