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.

The Bush administration made a deal with this nation, India, to provide it with civilian nuclear technology. In the process, the administration effectively let India off the hook for its decades-old nuclear weapons program and made an exception to its otherwise strict refusal to provide civilian nuclear technology to nations that do not abide by certain in-ternational guidelines. The result, critics have asserted, is that other na-tions may be encouraged to follow India's path and that the nuclear non-proliferation "regime" has therefore been damaged. Download PDF

Last Sunday, while returning home from Pakistan aboard Air Force One, President Bush received a telephone call from his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. The two men dis-cussed several issues that threaten to disrupt U.S.-Russian solidarity in the war on terror--foremost, Russia's dip-lomatic support for Iran in the dis-pute over its nuclear program at the IAEA, and its decision to welcome Hamas, which recently won control of the Palestinian parliament, to Mos-cow.

In recent weeks, Russia has distanced itself from positions on the Middle East that it once held in common with the U.S. and the European Union.Russia may have several aims in pur-suing this new Middle East policy. Among them, keeping the price of oil high will certainly accrue to Russia’s short-term advantage. Russia may sense an opportunity to increase its standing in its own backyard, at the expense of the power of its putative Western allies. Most foolhardy of all, Russia may be trying to placate Islamist extremists for the sake of its own security—a policy that is doomed to fail. Download PDF

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

On Feb. 22, terrorists bombed the Askariya shrine in Samarra, Iraq. The attack shocked Iraqis and infu-riated Shiites. The Iranian govern-ment sought to direct public anger toward Washington. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei blamed \"intel-ligence agencies of the occupiers of Iraq and the Zionists.\" Iran\'s Arabic-language al-Alam television re-peated the accusations on Feb. 23. Because al-Alam is broadcast terres-trially, it is particularly influential among poor Iraqis who cannot af-ford a satellite dish. Download PDF

It is easy to damn the 1930s appeas-ers of Hitler — such as Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain in England and Edouard Daladier in France — given what the Nazis ultimately did when unleashed. But history demands not merely recog-nizing the truth post facto, but also trying to reconstruct the rationale of something that now in hindsight seems inexplicable. Download PDF Descargar PDF
