Israeli law allows conviction...

The Day After Tomorrow
David Brooks, New York TimesEvery political movement has a story. The surging Republican Party has a story, too. It is a story of virtue betrayed and innocence threatened.Through most of its history, the narrative begins, the United States was a limited government nation, with restrained central power and an independent citizenry.

The interesting question is: Why now?The answer lies in the intersection of isolationism and war. At first glance, it seems odd that America is witnessing this eruption of anti-Muslim hate now rather than immediately after the 9/11 attacks. But historically,...
