US: The Department of Food Subsidies
The Department of Agriculture no longer serves as a lifeline for millions of struggling homestead farmers. Instead, it is a vast, self-perpetuating post-modern bureaucracy with an amorphous budget of some $130 billion — a sum far greater than the nation’s net farm income this year. In fact, the more the Agriculture Department has pontificated about family farmers, the more they have vanished — constituting now only about 1 percent of the American population.

Farewell, NATO
When I was growing up in the 1960s, we had a majestic Santa Rosa plum orchard on my family’s farm. The trees were 40 years old and had grown to over 20 feet high.

Immigration 2008
With the war in Iraq politically on the backburner, illegal immigration is heating up as a campaign issue. The public wants action, and the candidates are scrambling to react. Sen. Hillary Clinton’s sure nomination was first questioned when she flubbed an easy debate question about driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

Who's Afraid of an Iranian Bomb?
At first glance, it would seem a straightforward thing to stop a relatively weak but volatile Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb. It would also seem to be something a concerned world community would be actively working to do.

The Many Enemies of George Bush - George Bush is not a very popular fellow.
Witness the enraged reaction last week from critics to his suggestion that leaving Iraq now could have the same dire consequences as our withdrawal from Vietnam did. "It just boggles my mind, the distortions I feel are perpetrated here by the president," cried historian Robert Dallek. "Misleading rhetoric," chimed in Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.

Myths About the US Military
There is often voiced pessimism about our current military, to such a degree that it is termed broken or exhausted. But how true is that?

Nuestro Pearl Harbor
El 7 de diciembre de 1941 – hace 65 años – Pearl Harbor fue bombardeado por pilotos desde una flota de portaaviones japoneses. Mataron a 2403 americanos, la mayor parte de ellos personal de servicio, al tiempo que destrozaron mucho de la flota americana y de las fuerzas aéreas estacionadas en Hawaii.

La gran estampida
En estas últimas semanas, destacados conservadores — William F. Buckley, Niall Ferguson, Francis Fukuyama, George Will, por mencionar sólo a unos cuantos — han sugerido, de diversas maneras, que la guerra de Irak fue un error, que es imposible de ganar o bien ambos conceptos.

“Little Eichmanns” and “Digital Brownshirts”
The effort to remove fascists in the Middle East and jump-start democracy, for all its ups and downs, has been opposed not just by principled critics who bristled at tactics and strategy, but also by peculiarly vehement cynics here and abroad — whose disgust was so often in direct proportion to their relative political impotence.
