Winston Review, No. 7
The massacre of 11 Israeli athletes was not considered sufficiently serious to merit canceling or postponing the Olympics. "Incredibly, they're going on with it," Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote at the time. "It's almost like having a dance at Dachau."
The Winston Review is a Flea-feature intended to offer spirited, uplifting alternatives to the defeatists and apologists of the mainstream media. This week's Review honours "Avner", team leader of the covert action team tasked with bringing justice to the murderers of eleven Israeli Olympians in 1972.
This week in the Red Box:
"Nihilism revisited", Belmont Club discusses antinomianism, nihilism and doublethink.
"Wrong, wrong, wrongity wrong wrong!", Classical Values considers Senator Kerry's view of President Bush' insufficiently Ent-like plan to realign the military.
"Missile defence? What-ev-errrr.", Colby Cosh argues the "people responsible for discarding the practical mechanisms of our national sovereignty are naturally most insistent on preserving the pretense of it" (via Dodgeblogium).
"But What About My Job, Mr. Warmonger, Sir?…", Davids Medienkritik reports on a German trade union worried "there won’t be enough warmongers around to adequately support members’ Socialist way-of-life."
"World War IV: How It Started, What It Means, and Why We Have to Win", Norman Podhoretz puts the current troubles in perspective (via lgf). Belmont Club comments.
"Manifesto", ProtestWarrior asks why so-called progressives "support the most illiberal, war-mongering, imperialist fascist movements that are the constant instigators behind the state of war they so decry."
"Strength at Home", Ben Stein writes a soldier's wife (via Blackfive).
"Gruntwork: the Secret Anti-Terror Weapon", Winds of Change points to Operation Nexus, an innovative NYPD program enlisting business owners to potentially suspicious activities.
Your courage. Your cheerfulness. Your resolution.
Will bring us Victory.
