Anti-Semitism may seem to be a static, unchanging phenomenon but in fact the obsessive hatred of Jews has a history that goes back millennia and continues to evolve.Developments since World War II and the Holocaust have been especially fast-paced and portentous. Here are four of the most significant shifts: From right to left: For centuries, anti-Semitism was the hallmark of the right and merely episodic on the left. To take the ultimate examples of these trends, Stalin's Judeophobia was peripheral to his monstrous project, but Hitler's was central to his. Even a decade ago, this pattern still basically held true....

As inaugural festivities get underway in the shadow of the greatest Capitol in the world, in a time of peril to the U.S. and our friends, while our brave soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen are deployed around the world -- I want to say thank you to veterans of the United States Armed Services and their families who usually vote democratic, but saw fit this year to cross over and give President Bush the votes he needed for a decisive victory over his dangerous, traitorous opponent, John Kerry. A man who proved again this past week that his foreign policy...

As Americans pick a president, one key criterion is how the war on terror is going. Is President Bush correct in his positive view or Senator Kerry in his negative one?This same debate, interestingly, is also taking place within conservative circles, where analysts sharing the same basic outlook - that Americans are fighting for their very existence - come to dramatically different conclusions. Consider the contrasting views of two important voices on the right, Mark Helprin and Tod Lindberg.Mr. Helprin, author of such powerful novels as A Soldier of the Great War and Winter's Tale, writes a despairing analysis in...

The Candidate With No Name By Andrew L. Jaffee, July 29, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms ”Defeat Bush – VOTE In 2004!” I’ve seen more bumper-stickers with this platitude than I’ve seen ones that simply state, “Kerry/Edwards 2004.” While my liberal friends rarely mention Kerry and Edwards, they constantly remind me of how much they hate President Bush. This year, the politics of hate rule. The Left doesn’t even have a candidate. They are galvanized mainly by visceral hatred -- a hatred which stands on shaky assumptions, like the lies that Michael Moore sells as truths. In Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore insinuates that...

Books said investigators are not sure exactly how the two men hid their escape plan, but said...

Breaking through Greenland's ice cap By Dr David Whitehouse BBC News Online science editor Scientists have drilled through the central Greenland ice cap, obtaining an ice core that records climate data for the past 120,000 years. Champagne on ice They reached bedrock at 0815 GMT on 17 July after seven years, and 3,000 metres, of drilling in one of the remotest spots on Earth. Air bubbles in the core will tell them how the climate has changed over the entire period - right through the last major ice age. And meltwater obtained from beneath the ice cap may contain microbes...

Source: Office Of Naval Research Date: 12/3/2002 Better Warheads Through Plastics Shooting down enemy air threats--whether they're ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or aircraft--is a tactical problem that leaves little room for error. The targets move fast and must be verifiably, catastrophically, destroyed. An incoming missile hit and broken into pieces by an air defense missile can be as dangerous as one that lands intact. The Iraqi Scud missile that killed so many American troops at their Saudi base during the 1991 Gulf War is sad evidence of that risk--it had apparently been hit by a Patriot missile on its way...
