							<description><![CDATA[I rarely do follow-up columns. I&rsquo;m averaging one every 10 years. And while my last such exercise resulted in a written apology from the White House (for accusing me of making up facts over its removal of Churchill&rsquo;s bust), today&rsquo;s is not a complaint. It&rsquo;s merely a recognition that the huge response elicited by last week&rsquo;s column, &ldquo;Why doctors quit,&rdquo; warrants both rebuttal and clarification.]]></description>

Instead, it&#194;&#146;s the defense minister of Iran who flies into Baghdad, an unsubtle demonstration of who&#194;&#146;s in charge &#194;&#151; while the U.S. air campaign proves futile and America&#194;&#146;s alleged strategy for combating the Islamic State is in freefall.]]></description>

How could the Founders, so sublimely devoted to human liberty, have lived with &mdash; some participating in &mdash; human slavery? Or fourscore years later, how could the saintly Lincoln, an implacable opponent of slavery, have nevertheless spoken of and believed in African inferiority?]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[Benjamin Netanyahu&rsquo;s address to Congress was notable in two respects. Queen Esther got her first standing O in 2,500 years. And President Obama came up empty in his campaign to preemptively undermine Netanyahu before the Israeli prime minister could present his case on the Iran negotiations.On the contrary. The steady stream of slights and insults turned an irritant into an international event and vastly increased the speech&rsquo;s audience and reach. Instead of dramatically unveiling an Iranian nuclear deal as a fait accompli, Obama must now first defend his Iranian diplomacy.]]></description>

Iran was being granted the &ldquo;right to enrich.&rdquo; It would be allowed to retain and spin thousands of centrifuges. It could continue construction of the Arak plutonium reactor. Yet so thoroughly was Iran stonewalling International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors that just last Thursday the IAEA reported its concern &ldquo;about the possible existence in Iran of undisclosed .&thinsp;.&thinsp;. development of a nuclear payload for a missile.&rdquo;]]></description>

But I shall tilt my lance once more. The only time you can even think of proposing a gas-tax increase is when oil prices are at rock bottom. When I last suggested the idea six years ago, oil was selling at $40 a barrel. It eventually rose back to $110. It&rsquo;s now around $48. Correspondingly, the price at the pump has fallen in the last three months by more than a dollar to about $2.20 per gallon.]]></description>

But there are two kinds of lone wolves &mdash; the crazy and the evil &mdash; and the distinction is important. The real terrorists are rational. Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, had been functioning as an Army doctor for years. Psychotics cannot carry that off. Hasan even had a business card listing his occupation as SoA (Soldier of Allah). He then went out and, shouting &ldquo;Allahu Akbar,&rdquo; shot dead 13 people, 12 of them fellow soldiers. To this day, Hasan speaks coherently and proudly of the massacre. That&rsquo;s terrorism.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[The report by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding CIA interrogation essentially accuses the agency under George W. Bush of war criminality. Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein appears to offer some extenuation when she reminds us in the report&rsquo;s preamble of the shock and &ldquo;pervasive fear&rdquo; felt after 9/11.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[Old habits die hard. The media are so enamored of the continuing (and largely contrived) story about the great Republican civil war that they fail to appreciate that the real internecine fight is being waged on the other side of the aisle. I grant that there&#194;&#146;s a lot of shouting today among Republicans. But it&#194;&#146;s a ritual skirmish over whether a government shutdown would force the president to withdraw a signature measure &#194;&#151; last time, Obamacare; this time, executive amnesty.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[Historic. Such is the ubiquitous description of the climate agreement recently announced in Beijing between Barack Obama and Xi Jinping in which China promised for the first time to cap carbon emissions.If this were a real breakthrough, I&rsquo;d be an enthusiastic supporter. I have long advocated for a tangible global agreement to curb carbon. I do remain skeptical about the arrogant, ignorant claim that climate science is &ldquo;settled,&rdquo; that it can predict with accuracy future &ldquo;global warming&rdquo; effects and that therefore we must cut emissions radically, immediately and unilaterally if necessary, even at potentially ruinous economic and social cost.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[It&#194;&#146;s not exactly the Ems Dispatch (the diplomatic cable Bismarck doctored to provoke the 1870 Franco&#194;&#150;Prussian War). But what the just-resurfaced Gruber Confession lacks in world-historical consequence, it makes up for in world-class cynicism. This October 2013 video shows MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, a principal architect of Obamacare, admitting that, in order to get it passed, the law was made deliberately obscure and deceptive. It constitutes the ultimate vindication of the charge that Obamacare was sold on a pack of lies.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA["This is exactly what conservatives have been saying for four years, what we're hearing now is the true voice of liberal arrogance," Krauthammer said. "They believe this. They believe that the voters are stupid, as he said. And they believe that they know the right way, they have to lead the masses to the promised land and they can only do it by deception."]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[Memo to the GOP. You had a great night on Tuesday. But remember: You didn&#194;&#146;t win it. The Democrats lost it.This is not to say that you didn&#194;&#146;t show discipline in making the election a referendum on six years of Barack Obama. You exercised adult supervision over the choice of candidates. You didn&#194;&#146;t allow yourself to go down the byways of gender and other identity politics.]]></description>
