		<description>Casey:

&quot;It is just as easy for me to assert that Chomsky would be delighted to see his recommendations adopted by those who determine foreign policy, even if this were to result in a diminution of his own lifestyle and career.&quot;

But, if that person demonstrates a history of lies and hypocrisy, yet holds enormous influence, an assessment of their character is in order.

You may find this article eye-opening, as the real Chomsky is quite contrary to your &quot;assertion&quot;.

		<description>Once again, Nazi Hunter, your absolutely devastating &quot;critique&quot; of Dr. Hanson is mind-numbing.

Way to stick to the issues at hand.

		<description>I am still p-oed over the loss of the 300 Spartans earlier than should have happened.  The early greeks had a &quot;Benedict Arnold&quot; called Ephialtes.   He gave the emperor Xerxes the location of the pass that allowed the Spartans to die earlier than should have been.



Diese Amerikaner...   The Ephialtes of our time are more than willing to champion their own causes to gain some silly short lived advantage, while not realizing that the muslim hordes are only wanting the give the following question:

Convert Or Die?

My ancestors have been fighting the muslims since their diabolical movement started.

One of our Bishops around 1100? said to a warrior that was having second thoughts of whether it is a &quot;good&quot; thing to defend your country.   By good he meant holy in the eyes of God.   You must defend your country and in some cases to kill in the name of your country(God) because it is imperative to strike down the invaders, since not doing so dooms your fellow countrymen.


The Iraq war is a tactical attack - why fight them in our supermarkets, when we can fight them in theirs. Offense is a good defense.

Besides it is about time the US got rid of the evil that was/is Saddam.

I suppose the Ephialtes equivalent want to give Iraq back to Saddam, and then explain to the children that Saddam kills that they were just following their intellectual pursuits.


Am _still_ p-oed over Ephialtes - and todays Amerikaner left is the same as Ephialtes in my eyes.

I was born in West Germany - 1965 - today an american citizen.

Amerikaner = the arrogant thinking of americans.

American left follows a steep american tradition of being arrogant and stupid when it comes to foreign affairs.

I would surmise that most Americans would not understand or know that at around 1900 the US was a world oil exporter.

In Germany we used to learn (and be proud of) the national industrial successes.  The American Left has no country pride - they have only arrogance.

This conflict is religious in nature - to understand this conflict one has to read the bible, (NT and OT) as well as the Koran. Why is it that the Koran says it is ok to kill all unbelievers (unless they convert)

Orthodox Christianity has been keeping the flame for 2000 years, - we do not agree with Papal Supremacy - as it does not make sense that a single individual should be atop the church - pride the ultimate sin gets in the way.

Doxa si o Theos.

		<description>Spoken as a true troll with a special conspiracy jones for arcane monetary theory. I think the only  confusion here is well contained within your bizarre theories and signaled well with the CONSTANT use of CAPITALS. This habit is a dead giveaway online and YOU&#039;D be well ADVISED to eschew it.

Just a hint. Party on, DUDE!

		<description>1.  First, I&#039;ve never met a &quot;conservative&quot; yet who wasn&#039;t a devotee of National Socialism.  They are ALL sucking the gov&#039;t teat.  Let&#039;s see: defense contracts, crop subsidies, social security, medicare, the educrat complex, health care, the list is endless.

2.  As you all SHOULD know, in 1933 the US declared bankruptcy.  Just like Lenin, the Feds stole the gold.   In 1944 the US forced the entire rest of the world to use the US Dollar for trade.  If any of you had EVER, EVEN ONCE, conducted international business, you would know that if you are a CHINESE businessman who wants to make candy bars in Xiamen, you buy sugar from Brazil in US DOLLARS.

How do you obtain these US DOLLARS?  By selling merchandise to the Americans.

So, the Chinese, Indians, Congolese, Indonesians, etc. have to WORK to earn the dollars they need to purchase resources they don&#039;t have.  But for the Americans......well, simply print digital money and sprinkle it around the US.

The American people DEMAND a high standard of living...well and good.  But they don&#039;t earn it.  The rest of the world produces what the Americans need.  The Americans produce digital dollars.

If you&#039;re still confused, I&#039;ll be happy to explain more.

		<description>A few weeks into my Masters in International Security and Conflict Studies in Dublin Ireland.  My &quot;crowd&quot; of friends is Irish, German, French, Chinese, Nigerian and American.  I have yet to meet either a student or professor that has bashed the US.  They maybe anti Iraq War -but not anti-American.  I have seen much more anti-Americanism in the US.  Folks here love the US and what&#039;s more, respect us.  Plain and simple.

		<description>Mr. Hanson,

Your clarity and perspective sustained me in the months following the 9/11 attacks, and the otherwise confusing times since.  How obscure are these shrieking hordes whose opinions are shaped by the treachery and naivete of our dim news media and bolshevik academe.

I&#039;ve become an avid consumer of your works on NRO and just finished the first part of your book, The Soul of Battle.  I hope this and your similar publications are mandatory reading in our military academies and officer training programs.  (Perhaps they could benefit a wee number of retired generals too.)  Keep up the good work, well.

		<description>It&#039;s fortunate that the U.S., despite all of the negatives that we critically review every day, is in possession of the world&#039;s resources. I doubt if Bin Laden or Chavez or Putin would be so generous with their wealth should the situation favor their form of government. The U.S. is the perfect host for the humanties debate: despite our percieved transgressions, the world can still say their piece to us without fear of getting their tongues cut out or their children taken away in the night. I believe most Americans are very tolerant of dissenting opinion, but draw the line when folks equate our Western misdemeanors (and subsequent fawning apologies)with radical Islam&#039;s intentional felonies.

Dr. Hanson, another home run for you Sir.  Not that there needs to be anything added to your fine work, but there is a conclusion not overtly mentioned in this column.  In any battle, the strongest, most dangerous emeny is always the &quot;one within&quot;.  And so it is with this struggle.  I don&#039;t fear the jihadists, the Islamo-Fascists, or any Muslim nation.  No, my concern is with our own country-men who politically find themselves on the left--and on the side of our enemies.  If we are to win this war we will have to confront and defeat the America-haters living in this nation.....
