A Phenomenon of History: small ruthless bands of thugs will take over vastly larger docile civilizations

Posted on by

One of the lesser understood phenomenon of history is that small ruthless bands of thugs will inevitably take over vastly larger docile civilizations, the operative words being ruthless and civilized. The civilized are those among us who feel that they have too much to lose and are therefore always willing to deal. The ruthless thugs are those who say—not only am I willing to take your life to in order take from you what you … More >

In the wake of the first ever Tunisian elections, it is worth reflecting upon the Athenians of the fifth century BC who first conceived of a system of governance where the many would rule the few, and worth considering that it was the Romans who refined the concept of democracy with the construction of their republic. But it was the democratic republic of America’s founders which was further refined and profoundly influenced by Judeo/Christian principles. … More >

On Sunday May 1, the night that President Obama announced to the world the elimination of bin Laden, he was adamant in asserting, “We’re not now nor will we ever be at war with Islam.” This unsolicited statement must have been encouraging to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his bosses, the Mullahs running Iran, given that they are arming Hugo Chavez, the Dictator for Life of Venezuela, with medium range missiles capable of striking the United States. … More >

This week two suicide bombers from Jundallah (army of God), the Sunni separatists in Iran’s southeastern province Baluchistan blew up a Shiite religious procession killing 39. Relative to this, in April of 2007, I wrote a piece for Human Events Magazine entitled, Iranian Discontent May Well Bring Regime Change. There is one positive aspect of the WikiLeaks. They expose Muslims’ tragic penchant for making war upon themselves. The leaks highlight the Muslims’ love of the … More >

With a wink, Yasser Arafat referred to the “Quraysh Model” in a speech he gave in Arabic to a Palestinian audience shortly after he signed Clinton’s vaunted Oslo Peace Accords and shortly before he issued yet another bloody intifada. He was referring to a ten-year treaty that Mohammad had signed with the Quraysh tribe who ruled Mecca, a truce that the Prophet broke as soon as was strong enough to capture the city and kill … More >

Townhall Cover, 11/09

Original Article in Townhall Magazine (pdf) In the spring of 1945, when a liberated survivor of a World War II Nazi death camp was asked what he had learned from his ordeal, he replied, “When someone says he wants to kill you, believe him.” During the holocaust, in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the “tragedy of powerlessness,” millions of European Jews walked, obedient and docile, all the way into the gas chambers. … More >

Original article in Townhall Magazine (pdf) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his masters, the ruling mullahs of Iran, continue to threaten the United States and the rest of the West, as well as their own people. Who are they, and how can they be stopped?

By 204 B.C., the Carthaginian general, Hannibal, had been wreaking havoc on the Italian peninsula for 14 years at a cost to Rome and its Italian allies of approximately 100,000 lives. In that year, a young charismatic general from one of Rome’s most aristocratic families, Cornelius Scipio, convinced his elders in the Senate to send him and an expeditionary force by sea to attack the Carthaginian homeland in North Africa. This finally brought Hannibal’s army … More >

Infidel cover

Edward Gibbon, perhaps the preeminent historian of the second millennium, in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, wrote that Mohammed had “no more than 17 wives: 11 enumerated and who occupied at Medina their separate apartments round the house of the apostle, and enjoyed in their turns the favor of his conjugal society.” For the practicing Muslim, the life of Mohammad cannot be judged. His is the life by which all others are … More >
