Killer Bureaucracy

The need to limit the discretion of subordinates is present in every organization. —  Ludwig Von Mises. Bureaucracy

“General Turgidson, I find this very difficult to understand. I was under the impression that I was the only one in authority to order the use of nuclear weapons.” — Merkin Muffley, Dr. Strangelove

“Well, I, uh, don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.” — Gen. ‘Buck’ Turgidson, Dr. Strangelove

The Mideast Road to Nowhere

‘Stop writing about the Mideast or we will throw acid in your and your son’s faces.’ 

Such was the threat shouted through the front door of our New York City apartment where my mother and I lived in the 1950’s.  Then there was frequent pounding on the door at 3 am with further threats and obscenities. 

My mother’s offense? Being one of the first female journalists to cover the Mideast, a region barely known at that time to most Americans. My mother, Nexhmie Zaimi, was born in Albania, a former p...

Silent Shepherds, Forsaken Lambs

For faithful Catholics, the news that yet another pro-abortion politician is being celebrated by the liberal-leaning ecclesial authorities of their own Church is discouraging. Their sorrow is not just because Chicago’s Cardinal Blase Cupich has decided to grant a “Lifetime Achievement Award” to 80-year-old Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)—a Catholic politician who has devoted his career to championing abortion access at every turn. It is also because of the deafening silence from nearly all of the bishop...

Our Totalitarian Legal System

For people whom the government has in its sights, the United States has ceased to be a free society. In their book The Tyranny of Good Intentions (Crown, 2008), Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M. Stratton have made a strong case for this, and since they wrote, matters have gotten worse.

You might at first be inclined to dismiss this charge as exaggerated, but the authors devise a thought experiment that quickly induces a second look at their startling thesis. They describe in some detail the tri...

How Bibi Created a Palestinian State

In the last few days, a significant number of countries have announced their decision to recognize a Palestinian state. At the same time, the leaders of these countries have repeatedly condemned the attacks of October 7. Can you see the problem here? The two positions are logically incompatible.

It makes no sense to repudiate the actions of a group like Hamas as “terrorism” and then cave in to their demands on statehood. And –despite what you might have read in the western media– the explicit go...
