VDH is the man If you don't know who Victor Davis Hanson is, you should. He is a leading Classicist who has brought new life to the study of classical civilization and initiated new programs in various universities. Beyond that, he also is one of the greatest minds giving commentary on Western civilization. In his lastest book, which i'm dying to read, he compares the
Peloponnesian war with the war against terror which we are waging worldwide. I saw him on BookTV right before I moved to Chicago. If you want to read a great article discussing the libertarian-right party line on Iraq, et al, check out his article on National Review Online. Read it all. It's fantastic.  ¶ 3:55 PM
