The Sampler
In three recent posts at the fourth rail, Bill Roggio discusses how people and governments are quick to respond to natural disasters but come up with a host of excuses to avoid dealing with man-made atrocities, the growing Islamist threat in Europe, and the New York Times apparently deciding that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is many things, including a top rebel, guerrilla, insurgent, and a militant, but he is not to be labelled a terrorist.
Michael Barone examines President Bush's second inaugural and concludes that like Washington, Lincoln, and FDR, George W. Bush is a revolutionary president.
Hugh Hewitt takes on the LA Times' coverage of the Global War on Terror here.
Charles Krauthammer writes about the possible emergence of an anti-American coalition led by Russia and China in this column.
Douglas Davis' Spectator column (registration required) explores the Iranian nuclear program and the half-hearted attempts by the IAEA and EU to shut it down. He also mentions some other regimes in the Middle East that may be trying to join the nuclear club.
Mark Steyn points out that refusing to extend the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captured terrorists is the right policy, despite objections from Democrats.
Finally, check out Victor Davis Hanson's excellent column, A Postmodern War.
