<< You obviously have a lot of time on your hands since you were purged as editor of David Horowitz's "FrontPage." >>

I wish that were true! Sadly, I seem to have even less time now than when I was working for Horowitz.

But why do you say I was "purged" from FrontPage? I thought I resigned. Do you know something I don't? What would have been the reason for this purge?

<< fighting Al Qaeda is not something that interests either you or this administration... >>

Well, no, it doesn't, for the reasons explained in the article posted above. I believe -- with Laurie Mylroie -- that "Al Qaeda" is a red herring. If we simply fight them and "get out," we will have accomplished nothing, and our true enemies will have escaped unscathed.

<< ...the administration... has been taken over by neoconservatives whose foreign policy goals are to make the U.S. military a cat's-paw for Israel's Likud party. ... >>

Well, if that is true, that would mean that Israel now effectively controls the United States. It's no small feat to make a "hyperpower" go to war against its own interests.

By what means or mechanism did Israel and the neocons pull off this extraordinary coup?

<< So, why not drop the crap about my alleged lack of "patriotism" and start discussing the more substantive issues? >>

Okay, let's. Here are two substantive questions:

1. What makes you so sure that Al Qaeda alone -- without any helpers -- is solely responsible for 9-11? You appear to be so sure of this fact that you are willing to bet your nation's very survival on it. The evidence must be extraordinarily compelling. Let's hear it.

2. What makes you so sure that the U.S. government has no reasons of its own for undertaking this war? Why do you assume with apparently 100-percent certainty that our foreign policy is being dictated from Tel Aviv?

As to point 1, you are asking your opponent to disprove a negative (an impossibility). The burden of proof is on you to show a link.

Why did you resign, if you don't mind my asking? I completely missed that happening.
