OpEds from the New York Post
2004
Moore's the Pity
The New York Post, June 23, 2004
The Mistake That Wasn't
The New York Post, April 25, 2004
Here's a signal that an analyst knows little or nothing about post-war Iraq: He cites the disbanding of the Iraqi army as one of the greatest mistakes made by the U.S.-led Coalition after the collapse of the Saddam regime.
The U.N. Shrugged
The New York Post, April 7, 2004
Ten years ago today the Rwanda massacres began in earnest. It was the worst genocide since the Holocaust.
The
U.N. Vs. Iraqi Democracy
The New York Post, January 23, 2004
The U.S. government is working toward a foolish mistake—involving the United Nations in the governing of Iraq. It's a "solution" that can only worsen the problems its meant to solve.
2003
Angry,
Populist Revolution Terminates Politics As Usual
The New York Post, October 9, 2003
It's very easy to mock Californians who voted out Gray Davis and replaced him with Arnold Schwarzenegger as celebrity-worshipping boobs, as flaky in their politics as in their social, spiritual and personal lives.
Legends
of the War
The New York Post, September 26, 2003
Much of the discourse on Iraq continues to be dominated by myths - provable falsehoods that happen to confirm the prejudices of the antiwar crowd and/or those disposed to think our mission is failing now.
With
Charity To Some
The New York Post, September 12, 2003
The prestige and moral reputation of some of the big NGOs is rightly taking a knock in Iraq.
The
Sick Smell of Panic
The New York Post, September 5, 2003
The Bush administration's sudden decision to go to the U.N. Security Council for a new Iraq resolution looks like bad news for America and for the prospects of a democratic Iraq.
Who
Loves the UN?
The New York Post, September 2, 2003
It's amazing how hard it is for some people to get the message. Even after terrorists blew up the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, and with it the bizarre but widely held notion that the United Nations is beloved and respected in that part of the world, otherwise sensible people still claim it would be a more popular or more effective administrator of post-Saddam Iraq than the U.S.-led coalition.
Stealth
Multilateralism?
The New York Post, August 15, 2003
Antiwar or administration critics continue to lament (or rejoice) that only a "handful" of foreign troops are in or on their way to Iraq, thanks to the Bush administration's supposed "unilateralism." Yet there are already rather more foreign troops already in Iraq than most people realize.

Why Can't We Come Home?
The New York Post, July 16, 2003
In the towns and suburbs around Fort Stewart, Ga., there are banners welcoming home the heroes of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division.
Bring
Home the 3rd ID
The New York Post, June 16, 2003
The Pentagon's apparent desire to administer and pacify Iraq on the cheap isn't just risky policy, it's cruelly unfair to the troops on whom the burden is falling.
Disaster
in Waiting
The New York Post, May 16, 2003
Paul Bremer's first few days do not bode well.
Read a Letter to the Editor in response to this article.
The
Real Scandal of Iraqi Relief
The New York Post, May 11, 2003
They come from all over the world. Their supposed mission is to help the people of Iraq. Their concerned frowns and even their clothes all proclaim the message: "We're the good, caring people . . . and you're not."
City
of Deadly Rumor
The New York Post, May 7, 2003
This is a city of wild stories that pass for news, inflaming this or that section of the population, while U.S. authorities lack the resources, human or material, to counter myth with truth.
Foolish
Neutrality
The New York Post, May 5, 2003
In the wake of its stunning military victory, the United States is playing too passive a role in the reconstruction of the Iraqi state, especially given the tremendous gratitude felt and expressed by so many liberated Iraqis.
A War without Bounty?
The New York Post, April 30, 2003
Politically correct, image-obsessed military brass are breaking with time-honored tradition by forbidding battle-weary GIs from bringing home memorabilia captured from their defeated enemy.
Improvising Peace - This Can't Last
The New York Post, April 29, 2003
The young soldiers who found themselves administering this city just days after conquering it have done a superb job despite limited resources, including the small numbers of troops.
Looting
& Lies
The New York Post, April 15, 2003
The most surreal experience of the war has been to watch the good-natured Baghdadi crowds streaming out of government office buildings carrying air conditioners and furniture, waving at passing GIs - and then to read the frenzied commentary about the latest American crime: "failing" to stop "swarms" of "frenzied looters."
Liberation
The New York Post, March 24, 2003
You may know the statistics: The sixth of the Iraqi population that lives in exile, the 100,000-plus disappeared persons of the Kurdish "anfal."
The
Price of Delay
The New York Post, March 15, 2003
There is a price to be paid for further delay in the impending war with Iraq, beyond the strengthening of the antiwar movement - a price to be paid in the deserts of Kuwait and Iraq.
Hate
For Profit - Your Investments May Fund America-Bashing Brit Rag
The New York Post, January 31, 2003
America is the new Nazi Germany, and George W. Bush the new Hitler - according to a front page article in the London Daily Mirror, a newspaper partly owned by U.S. companies.
2002
Baghdad
Death Trap
The New York Post, September 3, 2002
War is never something to be entered into lightly. But the latest argument put forward against an American intervention to overthrow Saddam Hussein is a military one that seems at best ill-informed, at worst a kind of gleeful and irrational pessimism.
A Peacenik Coup
The New York Post, August 26, 2002
You won't find a more comical example of bad faith or more foolish political fad than the cult of the warrior now being embraced by antiwar pundits.
Shaking Things
Up
The New York Post, August 19, 2002
You can hardly open a newspaper or turn on a news channel without coming across some foreign policy notable who thinks we shouldn't go to war with Iraq because, even if we can somehow win without triggering Armageddon,fighting Saddam Hussein will "destabilize" the Middle East.
The Real Pledge Problem
July 1, 2002
Ruling the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional because of the words "Under God" was frivolous and silly - but the Pledge's hysterical defenders are just as foolish.
Deadly Tolerance
May 10, 2002
For an illustration of the absurdities of political correctness and the dishonesty of multiculturalism you can't do much better than the reaction of much of the world's press to the killing of the Dutch politician and supposed "extremist" Pim Fortuyn - by a genuinely extremist ecofanatic
Lessons of Pseudo-History
February 10, 2002
It is often asserted, especially abroad, that U.S. foreign policy is hobbled or distorted by the historical ignorance that besets the American public and many of its elected leaders.
Early Lessons Of The War
February 4, 2002
America's mission in Afghanistan may not be over, but some tentative military and foreign-policy lessons can be drawn from the success of the war so far—lessons that may well be applicable to future campaigns.
To Win The Peace
January 18, 2002
Even as our Special Forces troops—with diminishing assistance from our increasingly truculent local allies—continue to search out and destroy al Qaeda and Taliban hideouts in the mountains of Afghanistan, the United States must now prepare to win the peace.
2001
Too Sensitive By Half
The New York Post, December 21, 2001
There has been much pious talk in recent weeks about the importance of catering to Muslim and Arab "sensitivities" while we make war on the Taliban and al Qaeda.
Turning on the Taliban
The New York Post, December 4, 2001
Despite all the lipsmacking warnings from pundits and editorialists nostalgic for the issues of their youth, Afghanistan has not turned out to be "another Vietnam" for the United States.
Beyond Kabul
The New York Post, November 14, 2001
The recapture of Mazar-e-Sharif by the Afghan Northern Alliance - aided by U.S. and British special forces advisers - closely followed by the Taliban's withdrawal from Kabul, are cause for celebration but not necessarily self-congratulation: a stroke of good fortune rather than a confirmation that we have been fighting this war in the right way.
Islam's Cruel Crusaders
The New York Post, October 31, 2001
Last weekend's appalling massacre of Christians in Pakistan - and the fact that it is part of a pattern of oppression there and in other Muslim countries that predates our campaign in Afghanistan - should clarify the media's rather muddy picture of today's Islamic world.
Get
Tough With Pakistan
The New York Post, October 22, 2001
If it weren't already plain that Secretary of State Colin Powell, for all his virtues, may be the wrong man to be running U.S. foreign policy at this time, then his unfortunate visit to South Asia last week should make it abundantly clear.
Special
Forces - No Magic Bullet
The New York Post, October 15, 2001
Much has been made in the media of the probable use of "special forces" in Afghanistan. These troops most likely will come from units like the U. S. Army's Delta Force, the Navy's SEALs and Britain's Special Air Service.
The Real Coalition
The New York Post, October 8, 2001
Yesterday's cruise missile and bomber attacks on Taliban and al-Qaeda assets in Afghanistan come as a somber relief to those who feared that, far from reacting with precipitate violence to the Sept. 11 massacres in New York and Washington, the United States would do little or nothing in response except to build a bogus anti-terrorist "coalition" - that grotesquely included terrorist sponsors like Syria.
The Coalition Trap?
The New York Post, September 20, 2001
The Bush administration has wisely chosen to think carefully about where, when and how we will strike - rather than, as the Europeans and perhaps bin Laden expected, to reflexively launch a score of cruise missiles at targets in Kabul and Kandahar.
Taking Up The Burden
The New York Post, September 14, 2001
In 1850 Don Pacifico, a Sephardic Jew living in Athens, who happened to be a British subject, had his home and warehouse burned by a Greek mob.
What Must Be Done
The New York Post, September 12, 2001
The massacres yesterday were not a "disaster" -that word suggests something natural or inevitable, and the massive terrorist attack that has changed our world was neither.
