It was gratifying to see Dr. Peikoff take a consistent libertarian position on O'Reilly's program (guest-hosted by Kasich) yesterday. These are two of Peikoff's articles on the same subject.

The previous articles in the series were

Defense of Liberty
The Contours of Victory

Let me know if the new single-bump system doesn't work.

Bump. Getting used to the new method. Sadly, bumping departed Freepres such as Okiereddust and Gecko is no longer possible.

The bump worked. Good articles, I agree with the high level point but think he gets a bit sloppy with some of the facts.

A particularly bad essay on this topic. Odd from this author.

Unfortunately Piekoff can't seem to make a coherent point here. He doesn't explain how the "West" came to own the oil in Arab countries. He rails against collectivism but had the audacity to talk about the "West's" ownership in oil.

Then he jumps from talking about the bad Arab dictators to talking about the Ayatollah in Iran some undisclosed number of years after the oil rights were ceded.

He's not doing a very good job. He's necessarily having to ignore whole portions of history that doesn't suit his purpose. Lies of omission.

Clinton was Wrong:

Humane treatment for Terrorists:

Cut heads off and sew them into pig bellies and send to the families.

Peikoff is such a fraud. He has all the same normal human reactions as the rest of us -- that I can understand and respect. But he has to clothe everything in his tired Randian rhetoric and dialectic, because his reputation and authority come from being the Objectivist pope. The Randian shell really doesn't correspond closely enough with the emotional core. Does Randian objectivism even apply to situations like this where one must subordinate one's individualism to the common cause and band together to fight? I think of Ayatollah Peikoff as another Woodrow Wilson committed to fighting war after war to bring about the victory of his concept of reason and morality, and pushed ever further from his unrealistic ideal by the needs of the war. One might have thought that making a dogma out of individualism would save us from meddlers like Peikoff, but the dogma demands implementers, theorists and theologians, which keeps Peikoff, the mad Mullah of rationalist objectivism in business.
