Popular efforts to tuck
Christianity neatly aside as
a footnote to this country's
history and to deliver a
secular society will fail.
Why? Because the faith is
inextricably tied to our
values, our institutions and
even modern science.

A group of
leading atheists is puzzled by the continued
existence and vitality of religion.
As biologist
Richard Dawkins puts it in his new book "The God
Delusion," faith is a form of irrationality, what he
terms a "virus of the mind." Philosopher Daniel
Dennett compares belief in God to belief in the
Easter Bunny. Sam Harris, author of "The End of
Faith" and now "Letter to a Christian Nation,"
professes amazement that hundreds of millions of
people worldwide profess religious beliefs when
there is no rational evidence for any of those
beliefs.

We harm ourselves by
not understanding what drives terrorists
By Dinesh D'Souza
Sunday, Feb. 4, 2007
Five years
after 9/11, we are reconsidering
America's role in Iraq. But Bush's
problems in Iraq are symptomatic of
a deeper failure of comprehension.
Moreover, the “solutions” proposed
by the liberal Democratic leadership
in Congress seem also based on
erroneous perceptions of the Muslim
world. In order to better fight this
war on terror, we must re-examine
the premises of the liberal and
conservative understanding of 9/11.

As a conservative author, I'm used
to a little controversy. Even so,
the reaction to my new book, "The
Enemy at Home," has felt, well, a
little hysterical.

Congress and the Bush
administration are reconsidering America's policy
toward Iraq, a topic that the president is sure to
emphasize in his State of the Union address tonight.
But perhaps a more radical re-examination is
necessary.
Pelosi's crew and Osama bin Laden share common goal
Dinesh D'Souza
Sunday, January 21, 2007
The Pelosi Democrats
sometimes appear to be just as eager as Osama bin
Laden for President Bush to lose his war on terror.
Why do I say this? Because if the Pelosi Democrats
were seeking Bush's success, then their rhetoric and
actions now and over the past three years are pretty
much incomprehensible. By contrast, if you presume
that they want Bush's war on terror to fail, then
their words and behavior make perfect sense.

How the
left led us into 9/11
The Clinton and Carter administrations made the U.S.
look like a weak, attractive target for terrorists.
By Dinesh D'Souza, a fellow at the Hoover
Institution at Stanford University,
January 18, 2007
In considering a
funding cutoff for U.S. troops in Iraq, the liberal
leadership in Congress runs the risk of making the
United States more vulnerable to future attacks, not
just in the Middle East but here at home. To
understand this, it's not enough to revisit the
factors that led to the Iraq invasion. We must
consider the roots of 9/11 itself. Only by
understanding the policies that sowed the seeds of
9/11 can we intelligently decide how best to proceed
in fighting the war on terror.
The key to understanding
Lincoln's philosophy of statesmanship is that he
always sought the meeting point between what was
right in theory and what could be achieved in
practice.
