"I have a right to nothing which another has a right to
take away."
- Thomas Jefferson to Uriah Forrest, 1787. Papers, 12:477.
"The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary
servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is
right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and
who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate
them..."
- Mark Twain
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our
will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of
others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,'
because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so
when it violates the right of an individual."
- Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819
"It's important to realize that whenever you give power to
politicians or bureaucrats, it will be used for what they
want, not for what you want."
- Harry Browne
"As government grows, its increased power to grant favors
or inflict pain attracts more people who would abuse the
system."
- John Fund

The Five Iraqs
By Scott Ritter
History will show that this period of relative "calm" we
attribute to the surge is but the pause before the storm.
Hillary Clinton is correct to label the surge a failed
strategy. But her motivation for doing so rests more with
her desire to position herself politically on the domestic
front than it is a reflection of a thoughtful Iraq policy.
