| Inside Liberty |
| 4 |
Letters | We save the best for first. |
| 7 |
Reflections | We envy communist tax rates,
pity British homeowners, study courtly manners, taunt litigators, peer into
Pyongyang, and go back to school with the Unabomber. |
| Gulf War II |
| 17 | The Costs of
Victory Over Saddam | If you think conquering Iraq is expensive, argues R.W.
Bradford, wait till you see what it costs to occupy Iraq and try to plant
democracy there. |
| 19 | On the Anti-War
Front | Stephen Cox explains why the hawks are ahead in the
polls. |
| 21 | The Logic of
War | The
Bush administration's arguments for war don't stand up to scrutiny. Stefan
Herpel reports. |
| 27 | Disconnect | Bruce Ramsey makes the
case for a cold beer. |
| 29 | The New
Terrorists | R.W. Bradford looks at the face of
terrorism. |

Features
| | 31 | Dismalization | Timothy Sandefur discovers why we
cannot do stem-cell research, abolish slavery, or have gay
marriage. |
| 33 | How to Win the Drug War | Prohibition is a total failure, but its
failure can be exploited for the cause of liberty. James Gray tells us
how. |
| 35 | Hollywood Does It Better | American movies dominate the global market.
This is good, Jacques Delacroix argues. Even in France. |
| 38 | Milk for the Masses | The federal government provides free milk,
cheese, juice, and cereal to moms who have to live on $100,000 a year. But, as
Michael Dahlen discovers, this isn't the worst thing about the
program. |
| Reviews |
| 41 | My Orwell,
Right or Wrong | Christopher Hitchens has tried to give our favorite socialist a
makeover. David Ramsay Steele likes the real Orwell
better. |
| 48 | The Economics of Education | If education is the key to prosperity, then
why are Japan and Switzerland so rich? Stephen Berry looks for an
answer. |
| 51 | Propaganda for War | Bruce Ramsey retraces America's steps
into World War I, and discovers the trail had been clearly blazed by the British.
|
 |
| 52 | Notes on Contributors | Beauty marks and all. |
| 54 | Terra Incognita | Valuable information for worldly
travelers. |
