Preparing for Mumbai - In America

By Gabe Suarez There has been a great deal of discussion about what to carry for an event like Mumbai. Gents, let's think about this.

Being real is not being defeatist, but come on. Now, at the outset of...

On Mumbai - What We Know So Far

By Gabe Suarez In 2001 the USA had the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It has become vogue to call it the 9/11 Tragedy, as if it was a hurricane or an earthquake, but it was not. It was an act done by men, evil men. A few years later, both Spain and England faced similar events. And now India. I am not so schooled in geo-politics to try to draw strategic significance here.

Op-Ed: The Life-and-Death Cost of Gun Control

By John R. Lott, Jr. Banning guns is in the news. India practically bans guns, but that didn't stop the horrific Muslim terrorist attacks this last week. A football player concerned for his safety violates New York City's tough gun control regulations by carrying a concealed handgun, and people call for everything from banning NFL players from carrying guns to demanding that the athlete serve...

Lessons from Black Friday in Mumbai

By Gerard Valentino Most Americans transfixed by Black Friday sales at the local discount megamart completely ignored the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.
