…ist facing the bewildering array of current economic problems stick to the numbers or engage in psychological analysis? We could do worse than break down the current cast of characters based on that question and that approach. Greenspan was a number cruncher, Brooks observed, and unfortunately for him, human psychology caught up with him in the “housing bubble.” The current debate over Timothy Geithner is being conducted in similar terms. No one d…

…sian Revolutions, decrying the “utopian delusions” of “revolutionaries from 1789, to 1917, to 2020” who erroneously thought politics should not only “promote and support virtue,” but should “usher in universal harmony.” The bottom line, as Hazony puts it, is that “you’ve been dispossessed. And what we’re watching…is a completely new America in which liberalism has been replaced by this woke neo-Marxism as the dominant ideology.” And so now, “for u…

By Aryeh Cohen

…ia, in which the U.N. is blocked from acting decisively because Russia and China will use their vetoes against any action that imperils Assad, President Obama should call a conclave of the world’s other countries, all of them, and let them together decide on what should be done with regard to saving the people of Syria from its rogue regime.

By Austin Dacey

…ts of Egypt, the Ahmadiyya of Pakistan, or the unregistered Protestants of China, self-identifying religious minorities can, to varying degrees, suffer the consequences of being deemed inauthentic by decree. During the French debate on the veil, President Sarkozy declared, “The burqa is not a religious sign,” suggesting that women had no religious right to don it.

…congregant’s house, when one member of the group made a reference to his “China Gun”—because of the “chink chink” sound it makes when being cocked. He then proceeded to point his imaginary gun at a Latino participant and the researcher.

The Double Life of the War Criminal

By Laurie Patton

…, Karadzic/”Dabic’s” journey has an oddly familiar ring. It was in the late 1980s and early 1990s that historians of religion first began to grapple with historian of religion Mircea Eliade’s association with the Iron Guard, a fascist movement in Romania during World War Two. Not only did we have to grapple with the fact of it, but we had to try to understand why he never publically renounced his association. Eliade never openly discussed this asp…
