Miami
or Berlin? I didn't think the
current political regime could surprise me anymore. Not after the President's wife
tried to nationalize healthcare. Not after Janet Reno has presided for two full
terms over the most politicized Justice Department in the nation's history. Not
after the President lied under oath and quibbled over the meaning of the word
"is" (at which point I dubbed him the first Nietzschean President). Not
after Waco. And then I heard about the commando raid captured by the photo to the
right -- the culmination of an increasingly anti-libertarian series of events in Little
Havana. I'm not going to write a long journal entry on the subject, though I will
likely have more to say on my message boards at
some point. For now, take a peek at the following:
- Hanah's 22 April Journal Entry
- Leonard Peikoff's op-ed
(pretty good)
- Bruce
Herschensohn's op-ed (a little emotional)
- National
Review's article "Still Useful, and Idiotic"
- Salon's
Less Rosy Description of the Anti-Liberty Commando Raid
