Does John Kerry have blood on his hands? Perhaps the following, extracted from the Introduction (written by Jamie Glazov) of David Horowitz’s book Left Illusions An Intellectual Odyssey, will help you assess this question. "After the communist victory in Vietnam in 1975, the North Vietnamese began executing tens of thousands of South Vietnamese and setting up “re-education camps.” The general repression prompted an exodus of two million refugees, unprecedented in the history of Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese boat people perished in the Gulf of Thailand and in the South China Sea in their attempt to escape the...

I’d like to begin with your intellectual journey. You were, at one time, a man of the Left and, if I am correct, a Trotskyist. What led you to this political disposition?

Iraq Symposium: Where Are We Headed?By Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | November 21, 2003 As we witness the Holy Jihad against America escalating in Iraq, we are confronted by the question: where are we headed? Should the U.S. intensify its military efforts? Cut and run? Implement Iraqification as fast as possible? What prices come with these potential moves? To discuss these issues with Frontpage Symposium today, we are joined by Victor David Hanson, currently a visiting professor of military history at the US Naval Academy and author of the new book An Autumn of War: What America Learned from September 11 and the War on Terrorism; Khalid...

Symposium: Islamic Anti-SemitismBy Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | October 31, 2003 Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir's recent comments at the Organization of the Islamic Conference, in which he claimed Jews run the world, powerfully crystallized the issue of Islamic anti-Semitism. So did the fact that 57 leaders from the Muslim world applauded Mahathir's Nazi lie. Is there something inherently anti-Semitic within the Islamic religion itself? Can Muslims shed themselves of anti-Semitism and remain devout Muslims? To discuss these and other questions relating to Islamic anti-Semitism with Frontpage Symposium today, we are joined by Kenneth R. Timmerman, an investigative reporter and author who has spent twenty years reporting...

Symposium: Pakistan -- Friend or Foe?By Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | October 17, 2003 Pakistan is supposedly our ally in the War on Terror, but there continues to be a heavy Al Qaeda/Taliban presence in the Northwest Frontier Province/Baluchistan/Tribal areas. Why? And if the Pakistanis are our allies, why are they engaged in nuclear proliferation to Iran and North Korea? Is it because the Musharraf government simply isn’t in full control? Or is it because we are being double crossed, like we have been by the Saudis? What should the U.S. do about Pakistan?To discuss these and other questions on Frontpage Symposium...

Symposium: The Muslim Persecution of ChristiansBy Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | October 10, 2003 The widespread persecution of Christians is an increasing phenomenon in the Islamic world. Aside from its obvious tragic and horrifying ingredients, what is the significance and meaning of this persecution? Why is it almost never mentioned in the Western media? How is it connected to the conflict between the West and militant Islam? Why should America be concerned?To discuss these and other issues with Frontpage Symposium today, Frontpage Magazine welcomes Bat Ye’or, the author of three major books on dhimmis, jihad, and dhimmitude (www.dhimmitude.org and www.dhimmi.org). On May 1, 1997--...

Symposium: Leftist Anti-SemitismBy Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | September 19, 2003 Why has anti-Semitism become the new mantle of leftist politics? If the Left sees itself as the enemy of oppression in all its forms, why has it so disastrously failed to recognize and confront the hatred of Jews within its own ranks? Is it because anti-Semitism has become so deeply enmeshed with the radical obsessions of anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism and anti-globalization? And what role do leftist Jews play in this phenomenon? What explains their desire to rid the Israeli state of the capacity to effectively defend itself?To discuss these and other issues connected to Leftist Anti-Semitism, Frontpage Symposium has arranged...

Symposium: Diagnosing Al QaedaBy Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | August 18, 2003 As the War on Terror ensues, the terrorist organization al Qaeda remains America's greatest foe. But what exactly is al Qaeda? Is it an Osama bin Laden entity or can it and will it survive without him? What is the exact nature of the al Qaeda threat?

RAND will also run the transcript of this panel discussion on...

Symposium: The Return of ManhoodBy Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | August 8, 2003 After years of creeping feminization, manhood and masculinity appear to have made a significant comeback in American society. Since the national security crisis of 9/11, America has rediscovered the virtues of soldiers, firemen, policemen and other traditionally male (and masculine) professions that require courage and physical strength. What explains this phenomenon? Why is manhood, once again, being held in high esteem? Or is this all just a mirage, destined to vanish in the near future? In focusing on this issue, Frontpage Symposium did something a little different this time: we joined...
