A Study in Liberal Weakmindedness
(Steven Hayward) One thing I love about liberals is how they can't ever seem to make up their mind about whether Ronald Reagan was an ogre or a great man. This week he's a great man, because lo and behold with regard to Iran Obama is doing exactly what the Gipper did with the Soviet Union! Take E.J. Dionne's column yesterday, "Obama: Reaganite on Iran," which begins thus: When President Ronald Reagan

Iran's trifecta
(Paul Mirengoff) It's no scoop to say that both Israel and Saudi Arabia are alarmed by President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. But it's worth teasing out the difference in the primary concern of the two. In doing so, we can better appreciate just how bad the deal is. Israel is unhappy with the deal because it all but ensures that Iran will obtain nuclear weapons. Whether Iran does so in 10

The inside story of a Tennessee Islamist terrorist
(Paul Mirengoff) I listened with disbelief last night as the media reported that investigators are searching for the motive behind the attack by Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez on two military centers in Tennessee.
