The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) - a so-called "anti-terrorism, anti-separatism, anti-extremism" grouping, including China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, which holds its fifth annual meeting this week - definitely reeks of trouble for Uncle Sam.

It's difficult to say what motivates someone to take his own life, but when three Militant Islamists coordinate their suicides, as happened recently at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, there is at least a basis for speculation. Download PDF espDescargar PDF

There is abundant evidence that Saddam's regime, at the very least, tolerated Zarqawi's existence in re-gime-controlled areas of Iraq prior to the war. Moreover, at least three high-level al Qaeda associates have testified to Saddam's warm wel-come for Zarqawi and his associates. Download PDF

The first question some skeptics asked in the early hours of June 8, 2006 was: Is the elimination of chief terrorist Abu Mus’ab al Zarqawi in Iraq a victory? Download PDF espDescargar PDF

Are you surprised that terrorists appear to have set their sights on such unlikely targets as the Parliament building in Ottawa and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. in Toronto? Astonished that anyone would even consider sawing off the head of a Canadian Prime Minister? Are you thinking: What could anyone have against free, democratic, liberal, multicultural, diverse and tolerant Canada? The question answers itself. Freedom, democracy, liberalism, multiculturalism, diversity and tolerance – these are precisely the attributes that Militant Islamists find most offensive. Download PDF espDescargar PDF

For the past three years we have listened to what critics of the war in Iraq and those who opposed Saddam’s removal had to say: that the war was based on a bunch of lies; that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; and that Saddam’s regime had no connection to Al Qaeda. Well, fine. Now the US administration has decided to publish some of the documents it confiscated from Iraqis and things are starting to change. Download PDF

In recent weeks prominent conser-vatives — William F. Buckley, Niall Ferguson, Francis Fukuyama, Geor-ge Will, to a name only a very few — have, in various ways, suggested that the war in Iraq was either a mistake or unwinnable, or both. Sometimes such remorse is coupled with louder lamentations about the failed foreign policy of the Bush administration — especially the malevolent influence of neoconser-vatives and their mania for democ-racy.

"Madrid train bombings probe finds no Al-Qaeda link" was the headline of a widely-circulated Associated Press story two weeks ago. Citing a "Spanish intelligence chief" and a "Western offi-cial intimately involved in counterter-rorism measures in Spain," the AP re-ported that "A two-year probe into the Madrid train bombings concludes the Islamic terrorists who carried out the blasts were homegrown radicals acting on their own rather than at the behest of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda net-work." While acknowledging that the masterminds behind the attack were "likely motivated by bin Laden's Octo-ber 2003 call for attacks on European countries that supported the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq" and that "the plotters had links to other Muslim radicals in western Europe," the AP cited the Spanish intelligence chief as saying that there were "no telephone calls between the Madrid bombers and al Qaeda and no money transfers" and "no evidence they were in contact with the al Qaeda leader's inner circle."

Right now, there are three reasons the United States needs to be in Iraq. The most important: to fight al-Qaeda, the leader of the global Mili-tant Islamist movement, the sworn enemy of America and freedom. Wherever al-Qaeda is, Americans must be there, too -- with weapons at the ready. And without question, al-Qaeda's most lethal units are in Iraq, commanded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Demagogues to the right of them, appeasers to the left of them, media in front of them, volleying and thun-dering. Can the Bush administration continue to charge ahead? Does it have the will--and the competence--to lead the nation for the next three years toward victory in the long war against radical Islamism? Download PDF
