Are We Safer Today?
An uncommon perspective on a Commonly Asked Question
By Rand Green
Friday, Sept. 8, 2006

ALMOST every day since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan nearly five years ago, some politician or someone in the press – most frequently a critic of the Bush administration – has asked the question: Are we safer today than we were before 9/11? Actually, “Are we safer today?” is not the right question to ask, even though it may seem to be the obvious one. A more important question is: How safe will we be tomorrow? And the answer to that really critical question is yet to be determined. It will depend upon what we do about the dangers we face.

Taking On Hezbollah
As Israel fights for survival, the Free World's future is on the line
By Rand Green

HEZBOLLAH and a substantial percentage of the population of Lebanon that support Hezbollah are so obsessed with the their determination to destroy Israel and its Jewish population that they not only rejoice every time they hear news of Jewish children getting blown to bits, but they are more than willing to see their own children die in an Israeli air strike – because the more Lebanese civilians who lose their lives in this war, the more they believe it helps their cause.

The Choices Facing Europe
Former Prime Minister of Spain

In reality, Islamic terrorism has created a new bipolar conflict: them against us, in a global war in which our very way of life is at stake. On March 11, 2004, Islamic terrorists living in Spain attacked my country; last July 7, and again on July 21, other Islamic fanatics struck at the heart of London. So we can see that Europeans are not safe from the terrorist threat. And, to answer those who claim that everything is simply a product of U.S. policies, we should point out that Europe has taken a non-confrontational approach when it comes to handling Islamist radicals, both at home and abroad.

THIS INDEX IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

There are literally hundreds of articles in the Perspicacity Press archives. Unfortunately, as we are currently undergoing an extensive overhaul of the PerspicacityPress.com website, the complete archives are not presently available to public access. As rapidly as time allows, we will be working through the laborious process of converting archived articles to the new protocol and making them again available on this website. We will also, eventually, be adding a site search engine to make it easier and faster for you to find the articles of most interest to you.
In the meanwhile, we thank you for your patience.
