Arik and the Tooth Fairy
MK Yuval Steinitz, the chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, compares Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's decision to enable the Egyptian military to deploy its forces in the Sinai Peninsula to the decision by the ancient Greeks to allow the Trojan horse to enter their city. "The strategic blindness of both decisions is... [ Read entire Post ]

How long is the Bush administration planning on putting up with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's terror circus? Ahead of his visit with US President George W.

They bequeathed us freedom
The legacies of the wars and the heroes who fought to bring us victory have passed through the hands of many who have sought to twist the meaning of the past to comport with their own desires and convenience.

Wake up Washington!
