Iraq Pipeline Watch

Found an interesting website which keeps track of attacks on oil pipelines, installations and industry personnel in Iraq, starting in June of 2003 … here

Taliban Still Killing

Reports continue to come in of Taliban terror attacks designed to disrupt the upcoming fall elections in Afghanistan – no one is spared: men, women, children, reporters. However, voters also continue to register although the original end-of-July deadline has passed.

Very intriguing interview with Elinor Burkett, author of So Many Enemies, So Little Time, appears today in Frontpage.com. A self-identified long-time lefty, she opines – and it seems obvious – that the real danger to women is fundamentalism. And she’s been there and seen it in Afghanistan and Iran. She has been amazed, as have I also, at U.S. feminists’ (NOW for instance) overwhelmingly Americentric perspective. But, hey, that’s just us Americans, right?

Tom Palmer’s Foreign Policy

My old associate Tom Palmer, who is now a Senior Fellow (formerly Vice-President) of the Cato Institute, explains his foreign policy:

Our Enemies’ Handiwork
The radical Islamicists have shown us again what they really are. The world should see the photos they released of their latest act of savagery. What else can one do but find and kill all of them before they kill all the rest of us, Muslim and non-Muslim alike?

Thanks to Lew Rockwell for this story.
