In the last hundred years we have endured two world wars, the Vietnam War, the Korean "police action," the Great Depression, the Holocaust, race riots, political assassinations, religious intolerance (killing Matthew Shepard) bombing abortion clinics), Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin and others.

COLUMN: A modest proposal for peaceniks
October 15The forefathers were right. The truth of the matter is, the American populace is generally just incredibly stupid. We're simply not smart enough to choose our own president. And we're certainly not smart enough to have any say in what our country will do in response to terrorism.
