Legal Lawfare Conference Takes Aim at Jihadists’ Efforts to Fight Legal Jihad
By Heather Robinson (bio)

Last Thursday the Lawfare Project, a non-profit founded by attorney Brooke Goldstein to confront “lawfare,” held a conference that assembled a remarkable constellation of legal lights to examine the ways jihadists are attempting to hijack Western legal systems—and to fight back, legally.

Churchill’s Words on Importance of Alliance, and Squarely Facing Hard Decisions, Relevant Today
By Heather Robinson (bio)

“Those who are prone by character or temperament to seek sharp and clear-cut solutions of difficult and obscure problems, who are ready to fight whenever some challenge comes from a foreign Power, have not always been right. On the other hand, those whose inclination is to bow their heads, to seek patiently and faithfully for peaceful compromise, are not always wrong. On the contrary, in the majority of instances they may be right, not only morally but from a practical standpoint. How many wars have been averted by patience and persisting goodwill! Religion and virtue alike lend their sanctions to meekness and humility, not only between men but between nations. How many wars have been precipitated by firebrands? How many misunderstandings which led to wars could have been removed by temporising! …

New Jersey, Virginia Say: Keep the Change
By Heather Robinson (bio)

I’m not sure if that is the case or if New Jersey and Virginia voters are simply spooked about the economy, or to what extent those two possibilities overlap. But as reporter and analyst Philip Klein pointed out tonight on the American Spectator’s site, traditionally, New Jersey is democratic. The state has not gone Republican in a Presidential election since 1988, and has not had a Republican governor since 1997. Significantly, Obama has made numerous recent visits there to campaign for the democratic incumbent, John Corzine, to no avail. So this election of Republican McDonnell is an upset.

Michael Moore’s Movie a Refutation of Itself
By Heather Robinson (bio)

I just saw Michael Moore’s new movie (I know, I know. But I value keeping an open-mind). Moore’s creativity and humor have decreased roughly in proportion to his ever-increasing dogmatism. A good comedian, after all, needs the capacity to step back and lighten up; genuine stridency and urgency to force a perspective is at odds with comedy.

Ilan Berman’s new book,“Winning the Long War, Retaking the Offensive Against Radical Islam,” (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2009) catalogues American successes and failures to defeat radical Islam post-9/11. In its quiet, detailed, meticulously researched way, it is a powerful call to action in the war against radical Islam—especially the war of ideas.

At Tomorrow’s Meeting, Engagement Should be Tactic, Not Strategy

In anticipation of tomorrow’s meeting among U.S. diplomats, their Russian, Chinese, and European counterparts, and Iranian officials, analyst Michael Rubin points out in today’s New York Daily News that “engagement is a tactic, not a strategy.” He urges President Obama to realize that, while military action against Iran should be a last resort, the United States should begin making military preparations.

Why Not Apply the Oath of Hippocrates to Health Care Reform?
By Heather Robinson (bio)

Tonight in his speech on health care, President Obama acknowledged the values of self-reliance, rugged individualism, love of freedom, and healthy skepticism of government which, held dear by so many Americans, make the U.S. such a remarkably successful country. But I did not hear much in his speech–or in the ghostly outlines of a plan that he delineated–that honored those values.

Scottland and the terrorist: mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent

Commentator Thomas Sowell does a great job in his column this week unpacking the misguided and dangerous thinking behind the Scottish government’s foolish and immoral decision to release Abdel Baset al-Megrahi — the Libyan terrorist whose bomb sent 270 innocent people to their horrific deaths over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.

Don’t Let Return of Euna Lee and Laura Ling Put Pretty Face on an Ugly Regime

Today MomLogic.com features my article, co-written with Jennifer Ginsberg, about the evil of Kim Jong-il’s widespread human rights abuses in North Korea. While Americans are justifiably thrilled that Euna Lee and Laura Ling have been spared, we should not allow their release to turn into a propaganda victory for Kim Jong-il.

Al Franken Flashback: Controversial Interview With Heeb magazine from 2003
By Heather Robinson (bio)

Back in 2003, I had the opportunity to interview then-author, now Minnesota Senator Al Franken for Heeb magazine. I found his take on America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia to be interesting; likewise he had some provocative things to say about how Arab governments have neglected the Palestinians. I recall that when I asked him about the education of Palestinian children — and whether he felt liberals should question U.S. taxpayer resources going to fund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) while it uses teaching materials in Palestinian schools that glorify suicide “martyrdom,” he cut the interview short. Below is the full text.

Hypocrisy and Cruelty Towards Sarah Palin and Her Family
By Heather Robinson (bio)

The media and blogosphere are exploding with speculation about former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s reasons for deciding to leave office midway through her first term as Alaska’s Governor. Is it due to personal problems, some kind of scandal, or simply weariness of being the media’s punching bag, and seeing her family thus abused, not to mention the high cost of legal bills accrued defending herself from ethics complaints in her home state that have been determined baseless?
