The Columbus Day celebrates the rational core of Western Civilization
By Thomas Bowden
Posted: October, 2007
On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, opening a sea route to vast
uncharted territories that awaited the spread of Western civilization. On Columbus Day, we celebrate the
civilization whose scientists, men such as Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein, banished primitive
superstitions by discovering natural laws through the scientific method.

What basis for freedom and liberty in the
Middle East?
By Edward Turner
Posted: July, 2007
The problem is not that the Middle East has flunked
the test of freedom. It's that Islamists and Al Qaeda
ideologues have ripped the paper up in our faces,
cited their own test called the Koran and announced
that it is we who fail. What happened to the fate of Al
Farabi, Avicena and Averroes?

Jamestown gave Americans the noble
spirit of individualism
By Eric Daniels
Posted: June, 2007
The American people should pause to celebrate the
full significance of the Jamestown, which marked its
four-hundredth anniversary on May 14 this year, as an
opportunity to appreciate and rededicate themselves
to America's noble spirit of individualism, liberty and
freedom.

Put 'Independence' back in the
Independence Day
By Michael S. Berliner
Posted: July, 2007
To the Founding Fathers, there was no authority
higher than the individual mind, not King George, not
God, not society. Reason, wrote Ethan Allen, is "the
only oracle of man," and Jefferson advised us to "fix
reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every
fact, every opinion.

Will democratic 'incentives' encourage
Iran to mitigate its ideology?
By Elan Journo
Posted: June, 2007
Negotiations buy Iran time; a settlement would
provide loot to fund its nuclear program. Above all,
diplomacy grants Iran moral legitimacy as a civilized
regime: its hostile goals --"death to America" -- and
its murder of our citizens are made to seem
reasonable differences of opinion.

The rise of Islamists in the Middle East is
not a limited threat
By Elan Journo
Posted: June, 2007
The leaders of Western nations pretend that the
threat is limited to a handful of "radicals," and that the
region is dense with oppressed, peace-loving
admirers of the West. Our leaders empowered
Mideast mobs with elections and vowed to endorse
whatever they chose.

The US military's exit from Iraq should be
through Iran
By William E. Odom
Posted: June, 2007
The Iranian regime realizes that although its influence
in Iraq has increased, it faces a number of limits.
Once US forces leave Iraq, even Shiite Iraqis will view
Persians with suspicion. Moreover, Iran – like Turkey,
Iraq and Syria – does not want an independent
Kurdish state.
