Here’s Victor Davis Hanson’s take on what conservatives need to learn from this election: What Went Wrong?
Victor Davis Hanson’s election post-mortem: The Day After. It seems to me that conservatives have a golden opportunity to offer criticism and advice in a manner that many liberals did not during the last eight years. By that I mean I hope there are no conservative versions of the ...
An excellent column by Victor Davis Hanson on The End of Journalism. Read the whole thing, but here’s the crux of the biscuit: The media has succeeded in shielding Barack Obama from journalistic scrutiny. It thereby irrevocably destroyed its own reputation and forfeited the trust that generations of others ...
Victor Davis Hanson gets the line of the day: What Is Wisdom? Perhaps salmon fishing or moose-hunting might have been of value in reifying the more abstract wisdom found in Niebuhr.

Victor Davis Hanson should do more satire: Sarah Biden.
Victor Davis Hanson gives us the long view on Russia’s brutal invasion of Georgia and their previous attempts to subvert the fledgling democracy: Moscow’s Sinister Brilliance. The new reality is that a nuclear, cash-rich, and energy-blessed Russia doesn’t really worry too much whether its long-term future is bleak, given ...
Victor Davis Hanson and Christopher Hitchens discuss the execrable World War II revisionist book by Pat Buchanan. Moderated by the Hoover Institution’s Peter Robinson. [Video] [Video] Part 3. Part 4. Part 5. (Hat tip: Primetime Politics.)

Victor Davis Hanson takes Pat Buchanan to school: The Bad War? NORMANDY, France — Questioning the past is a good thing, but rewriting it contrary to facts is quite another. In the latest round of revisionism about the Second World War, the awful British and naive Americans, not the ...

Here’s Victor Davis Hanson’s piece on Barack Obama’s seriously inept handling of the Rev. Wright scandal: The Obama Crash and Burn. The latest polls reflecting Obama’s near-collapse should serve as a morality tale of John Edwards’s two Americas — the political obtuseness of the intellectual elite juxtaposed to the ...

Victor Davis Hanson takes a year-end look at the Iraq War: A Long War In a Nutshell.
NRO is conducting a video interview with Victor Davis Hanson on War and History: Chapter 1 of 5.
Victor Davis Hanson eviscerates the astonishingly dishonest and craven (even for them) July 8 New York Times editorial on retreat from Iraq: The New York Times Surrenders.
As we’ve been saying here for a while, it’s completely irrelevant whether suspected plotters like the Fort Dix jihadis are card-carrying members of Al Qaeda International, Inc. Al Qaeda isn’t a formal organization, it’s an ideology—a philosophy of Islamic supremacism that is not limited to one group or country, but ...
It’s a short attention span kind of world these days, and Victor Davis Hanson asks: Is the War on Terror Over? ... Jihadists have already scored successes in all sorts of ways beyond altering the very nature of air travel. Cartoonists now lampoon everyone and everything - except Muslims. The ...
A great and sad column from Victor Davis Hanson today: The Post-west. I recently had a dream that British marines fought back, like their forefathers of old, against criminals and pirates. When taken captive, they proved defiant in their silence. When released, they talked to the tabloids with restraint and ...
I haven’t linked to a Victor Davis Hanson column in a while—which gives me a good excuse to highlight his piece for today, examining what’s gone wrong with the Iraq war—and with the national will: Anatomy of Iraq. (Hat tip: Doss.) It’s make it or break it in Iraq in ...
Here’s Victor Davis Hanson’s take on The Surge Gamble. Will these “benchmarks” work? Only if the Maliki government is honest when he promises that there will be no sanctuaries for the militias and terrorists. So when the killing of terrorists causes hysteria — and it will, both in Iraq and ...
Victor Davis Hanson says they’ve earned the name, so why not use it? Islamic Fascism 101. Make no apologies for the use of “Islamic fascism.” It is the perfect nomenclature for the agenda of radical Islam, for a variety of historical and scholarly reasons. That such usage also causes extreme ...
In another powerful article, Victor Davis Hanson on the West’s increasingly enervated response to Islamic terrorism: The Waiting Game. Hezbollah’s black-clad legions goose-step and stiff-arm salute in parade, apparently eager to convey both the zeal and militarism of their religious fascism. Meanwhile, consider Hezbollah’s “spiritual” head, Hassan Nasrallah — the ...
Victor Davis Hanson hits another home run: Worry About the West — Not Israel. The Western press — usually so careful to condemn hate speech — is utterly silent about Arab racism. But a European paper recently published a cartoon portraying Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as a Nazi, secure ...
In the Washington Times, Victor Davis Hanson makes a point that can’t be stated enough: It’s not just about land. Despite the claims of terrorist organizations, Israel’s current two-front war is not just about land. After all, Hezbollah and Hamas fired rockets from Lebanon and Gaza well after Israel had ...
Victor Davis Hanson’s latest column is exceptional, a look at the plague of moral equivalence infecting Western society: The Brink of Madness. It is now a cliché to rant about the spread of postmodernism, cultural relativism, utopian pacifism, and moral equivalence among the affluent and leisured societies of the West. ...
Victor Davis Hanson’s latest column provides much food for thought (as always), taking the long view of the Iraq War: Betting on Defeat? The costs in Iraq have been high and the losses tragic. But nothing in the past three years has convinced me otherwise than that: 1. in a ...
Victor Davis Hanson on Haditha: Vietnam, After All? As with the formulaic type scenes of Homeric epic, there now arises a sense of familiarity with the current outcries over Haditha. We do not really know yet what happened in that terrorist-infected hellhole, but it seems not to matter. Those who ...
