The first military takeover of a Central American government in 16 years drew widespread condemnation from governments in Latin America and the world — including the U.S. — and Chavez vowed to overthrow the country's apparent new leader..........

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the...

CBN.com – PARIS -- 2006 could prove to be a very dangerous year for Europe, especially for France. Jacques Chirac may have thought that opposing America and Israel would keep France safe from terror, but it has not. Christmas Eve 1994, seven years before 9-11, Islamic terrorists from Algeria tried to fly an Airbus into the Eiffel Tower.

But for that effort to be truly successful-not the military campaign, but the post-Saddam rebuilding of Iraq-he must address the biggest obstacle within his own administration: the State Department. This is not simply a just war, but a necessary one. Not to fight terrorism, but to enforce terms of surrender that have been flagrantly violated at every turn for twelve years. No, fighting terrorism is merely an...

David Warren Blair goes wobbly If public statements of position are anything to go by -- and they sometimes are -- the U.S., Britain, Spain have already lost the vote in the Security Council, no matter how they phrase their resolution. The vote was supposed to happen yesterday, and has been set back at least until tomorrow, possibly Friday, undermining the stated deadline of Monday for Iraq's Saddam regime to show a "strategic decision" to obey the 17 U.N. resolutions it has defied, lo these last 12 years of the slowest "rush to war" in history.
