The Globalist website posted an article of mine on how the media and intellectuals subvert American democracy. Here's the lead of the piece - Why is it that in the United States, the vast majority of government abuses and failures either never show up on...
9/11 Witnesses Talk, Part 1: Mario Rizzo
I asked some family and friends who I knew witnessed the attacks on 9/11/2001 or who were severely affected by them if they could give me a brief write-up of their experiences that day; where they place blame, or what they think of blame placed; and what they think of...
Henry Kissinger on Vietnam
One of the few conservative magazines worth reading, The New American, reports that Henry Kissinger told an Italian reporter in 1972 that the war in Vietnam had "been a useless war." I think if I was one of the 58,000 soldiers killed or one of the 304,000 soldiers...
Bush: “It’s Hard to Connect Iraq and War on Terror!”

‘The Best President We’ve Ever Had on Israel’
That's the oh-so-maverick Bill Maher on George W. Bush. Maher went on to say that the reason W. takes the correct – i.e., 100-percent Likud – positions on Israel is "because he’s a crazy evangelical Christian."
Say It Ain’t So.
My God man! What the hell has happened to this country? We at Antiwar.com do not make this stuff up: From the Boston Globe: "Maine National Guard members in Iraq and Afghanistan are never far from the thoughts of their loved ones. But now, thanks to a popular...
Lebanon Destruction Update
I think the last story we reported said that Lebanon's reconstruction cost would be around $2.5 billion -- a number I thought was far too conservative. A 12-story building in my neighborhood would cost at least $20 million to build, if not more. It can't be less than...
