Kagan and O’Hanlon: Time to Get Ready for War in Pakistan

by | Nov 19, 2007 |

Now we all expect this kind of craziness from the Kagan klan - cowering behind desks while lusting for blood is apparently in their DNA - but let's get it straight about Michael O'Hanlon, who only a few months back was hailed as some great critic of the Iraq war saying that wow, the surge really is working. Well, you probably remember that Glenn Greenwald thrashed that lie from here to there, back then. Now, he's here with a Kagan to recommend spreading the war in Afghanistan next door....

Ron Paul: The Only Presidential Candidate to Challenge the American Empire

by | Nov 19, 2007 |

By David T. Beito and Scott Horton Rather than ‘isolationist’ in foreign policy, however, Paul embraces as his own Thomas Jefferson’s stated goal of ‘peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.’ But, unlike our third president, Paul appears bound and determined to apply these words across-the-board. His voting record shows a consistent support for free trade and legislation to redirect the military strictly to home defense rather than foreign...

A Couple of Next Generation Browsers

by | Nov 18, 2007 |

After a year of work, Mozilla has released the second beta of Firefox 3. It's much faster than Firefox 2, and has a better graphics and layout engine. Also, Opera 9.5 is out as an alpha, which should be less stable than a beta release. Of the two, Opera is more sophisticated, the layout engine is more advanced, and the browser is probably faster. I don't believe it has the plugins (adblock, flashblock et al.) that Firefox has, but it still might be a better bet. Releases follow the following...

Leninists Against Paul!

by | Nov 16, 2007 |

Heh. As if I needed more convincing to support him. Thanks, Reds. Update: The neocons hate Ron Paul too. How dare he not support Scooter's pardon?! So, let's see here: The Reds hate him and the ex-Reds hate him too. I guess that makes Ron a centrist. Update 2: Radley Balko on Mona Charen's smear.
