John Moore | March 15, 2004
If you have never read Victor Davis Hanson, you are missing a great source of intelligent thought.
Writing about the Madrid Bombing and the resulting upset defeat of the Anti-Terrorist government:
If the United States went to Afghanistan in 26 days following the murder of 3,000 of its citizens to hunt down their killers and remove [...]
Regime Change by Al Qaeda
John Moore | March 15, 2004
There is no way to interpret Spain’s vote yesterday than as a regime change engineered by Al Qaeda, and a major defeat for the forces of democracy. An Al Qaeda document captured some weeks ago foretold exactly this strategy and outcome.
Spain, to its eternal shame, has chosen the path of appeasement. They have lost 200 [...]
Friend of Our Enemies…
John Moore | March 5, 2004

BBC Internal Memo: Saddam Leader, Not Dictator
John Moore | December 20, 2003
In yet another example of how far the great BBC has fallen, a BBC internal memo instructs reporters to call Saddam “the former leader of Iraq” and not to call him a “dictator”. The reason: technically, he was elected. I wonder if they apply the same rule to Hitler, who was also elected?
This is right [...]
Lakoff Deconstructed
John Moore | November 20, 2003
Blogger John Ray, who in real life is a widely published retired psychologist, deconstructs the theories of George Lakoff, who wrote a book purporting to explain Left/Right polarity of politics as Mother-oriented vs Father-oriented.
