So, you think we’ve got it tough?

When you feel like the War on Terror is taking too long, or is too frustrating, or a lost cause, or whatever your complaint of the day may be, remember Fritz and Dr. Halpert. Also, remember the fighter pilot and others like him.

UNCLOS in the United States Senate

You may recall that earlier this month I mentioned UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). According to Senator Inhofe, the Senate is gearing up to debate this legislation.
What if I were to tell you that at this very moment in the halls of the Senate, legislation is being considered that [...]

The Hijacking of British Islam?

There is no hijacking of Islam in Britain or anywhere else for that matter. Islam remains today what it has been for centuries. As I see it, Islamists are simply calling coercing non-practicing Muslims back into the fold [emphasis mine].
