What a day for our inaugural post here on The New Invisible Hand! Thanks very much for stopping by to check us out. I am going to talk briefly about what you can expect to find here going forward and the purpose of this little spot out in the blogosphere. But first I would be remiss if I did not touch on the great news that broke last night regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden.
There is some debate about what the practical effect of Bin Laden's death will be. Some are hailing it as a turning point in the war on terror, others argue that the Al Qaeda network long ago spread into many separate "franchises" and the death of Bin Laden will have little practical impact on their operations. What ever the case, the United States and the world is better off now that Bin Laden no longer lives and we Americans owe a debt of gratitude to all those brave soldiers, intelligence personal and operatives that worked for so long to make this moment possible. The impact of his death on terrorism may not be immediately known but one important message has been sent in no uncertain terms: We will not forget, not forgive and never stop pursuing our enemies no matter how long it takes or how far they run. And to our enemies hiding out there, know that you are not safe anywhere and we are coming for you. There is plenty more to talk about with respect to Bin Laden's death but we will leave that for future posts.
And now a little about this blog and what you can expect to find here. As you might have guessed from our description, politics will play a central role here and sometimes the topics will be serious. We believe in individual freedom, free markets and limited government. Most of the time however we will endeavor to bring some humor, levity and lightheartedness to our discussions. And from time to time we will stray into topics that, in nut shell, we find interesting; from the NFL lockout to new scientific discoveries. Most importantly we look forward to hearing from you. We will do our best to respond to your comments and questions whether you agree with us or not and we look forward to spirited discussions. Feel free to drop us a line any time at thenewinvisiblehand@gmail.com.
Thanks for joining us for our first post! Stop by often and tell us what you think.
-- Thanks much,
Hand
