The Claremont Review of Books, Volume VI, Number 1, Winter 2005/06.

Notable Essays:
  • Philosophy in Democratic Times by Algis Valiunas.
    On George Santayana.

  • The Logic of the "Peace Process" by Angelo M. Codevilla.
    The United States has prevented the majority Shia and Kurds from forcefully dealing with the Bathist Sunni minority, thus encouraging the Sunni instigated Iraqi civil war. Without a decisive victory over the Sunnis there can be no peace in Iraq. Unfortunately, USA policy makers have no stomach for the kind of victory that would ensure pease.
    Note: Codevilla is the author of No Victory, No Peace.
