Notes on the Coming Election
by Craig Biddle
(October 30, 2006)
That actions speak louder than words is not a particularly profound principle; it is a mere truism known even to a child. Yet this truism is apparently regarded as untrue in the minds of those who insist that the Republicans are doing better than the Democrats would do at waging the so-called "war on terrorism."

The Che Paradox
by Victoria B. Bekiempis

In Iraq, Stay the Course -- But Change It

Peikoff on the Coming Election
by Leonard Peikoff
(October 19, 2006)

Foreign Trade Angst
by Walter Williams
(October 18, 2006)
Do foreigners keep all those dollars they earned under a mattress? They are not that stupid. They use those dollars to import capital goods such as U.S. stocks, bonds and U.S. Treasury notes.

The Military Doctrine of Altruism
by John Lewis
(October 16, 2006)
It is altruism that subjects our military to the slow bleed of dead and maimed soldiers in order to avoid confronting an enemy leader or hurting a shopkeeper. It is altruism that tells our soldiers to build toilets for a hostile population rather than to defeat the deadly enemy. It is altruism that places the welfare of Iraqis over the security of Americans.

Global Warnings from the Ivory Tower: Debate and Die
by Roy Spencer
(October 14, 2006)
The reason that a debate even exists is because it is so difficult to tie observed warming to human activities, versus other, natural causes of warming. But don't tell that to the The Royal Society of London.

An Inconvenient Truth: An Inaccurate Depiction of the State of Global Warming Science
by Robert C. Balling Jr.
(October 13, 2006)
"An Inconvenient Truth" is billed as the scariest movie you'll ever see. It may well be, but that's in part because it is not the most accurate depiction of the state of global warming science.
