  • Enter Stage Right: Don't let the terrorists achieve their greatest victory

    War has been declared on the United States. Greater than Pearl Harbor, incredibly greater than Oklahoma City, perhaps as significant as the Civil War, this country has been immobilized. In the immediate time frame we will be grappling with the terrible loss of life and the damage to all places the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. But as has been the case with every conflict beginning with the Civil War, the long-range pressures of this war will be to greatly expand the powers of the federal government and to restrict our freedoms.

  • Enter Stage Right: Back to sanity...the only course

    After your disbelief in reality succumbs to the horror of what has actually happened, the first instinct is fear. As we learn that the immediate threats have passed, the fear slowly dissolves into anger. Our first numb thought is to immediately retaliate against anyone and everyone who has wished us harm or celebrated our injury. Revenge, swift and certain and complete. The only wisdom that can seep through the misery and sorrow and anger is to see justice done.

    It is worse than Pearl Harbor. Our enemies have attacked, not a military base far out in the Pacific, but the very center of our civilization: our nation's political capital in Washington and its commercial capital in New York City.

    If this is now to be war, however, then we must make it a war. And our armed response to it must be prolonged, repeated, devastating and non-proportional.


  • Capitalism Magazine: September 11th, 2001: The Day the "Great Satan" Arose From Its Sleep

    On Dec. 7, 1941, Winston Churchill called President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. "What's all this about Pearl Harbor?" the prime minister asked. "It's quite true, they bombed us," FDR replied. "We're all in the same boat now." Today, it's America and Israel that occupy the same small craft in a storm-tossed sea. Sept. 11, 2001, was another day of infamy -- New York's World Trade Center demolished by two hijacked planes, while another crashed into the Pentagon -- with thousands dead.
