- Gene Healy: [Why terrorism isn’t an existential threat](http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columns/Terrorism-isn_t-an-_existential-threat_-89944242.html): “It’s worth remembering that terrorism has always been a weapon of the weak — and it usually fails”

- Doug Bandow on [the problem with international alliances](http://dailycaller.com/2010/04/02/the-problem-with-alliances-britain-and-the-falklands/): “Washington collects alliances like people collect Facebook friends. …Contrary to the U.S. government’s current practice, America needs fewer allies. Washington should no longer act as the world’s 9–1‑1 number.”
