- America's New War
- America Strikes Back
- America's Mission
- Operation Infinite Justice
- Operation Enduring Freedom

"...Attila and the Witch Doctor form an alliance and divide their respective domains. Attila rules the realm of men's physical existence—the Witch Doctor rules the realm of men's consciousness. Attila herds men into armies—the Witch Doctor sets the armies' goals. Attila conquers empires—the Witch Doctor writes their laws. Attila loots and plunders—the Witch Doctor exhorts the victims to surpass their selfish concern with material property. Attila slaughters—the Witch Doctor proclaims to the survivors that scourges are a retribution for their sins. Attila rules by means of fear, by keeping men under a constant threat of destruction—the Witch Doctor rules by means of guilt, by keeping men convinced of their innate depravity, impotence and insignificance. Attila turns men's life on earth into a living hell—the Witch Doctor tells them that it could not be otherwise." |

”...the challenge is to come up with a name that is more accurate than War on Terror but that doesn’t sound like a graduate-level seminar. During WW II, F.D.R. asked citizens for help and was inundated with suggestions - from the “Liberty War” to “Rat Killing.” Finally, he accepted that the conflict was, undeniably, another world war. Someday we may have to do the same.”

"One does not and cannot “negotiate” with brutality, nor give it the benefit of the doubt. The moral absolute should be: if and when, in any dispute, one side initiates the use of physical force, that side is wrong—and no consideration or discussion of the issues is necessary or appropriate."
