The Ayn Rand Institute recently posted a 2003 talk by Dr. Leonard Peikoff in which he “analyzes and rejects — as appeasement-ridden and ineffectual — the entire Bush administration response to the terrorist attacks on the U.S.” In this talk, Dr. Peikoff passionately discusses the response of the government and the American people to the terrorist attacks on 9/11 to the attacks by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The modern response does not benefit from the comparison. The hour long speech is followed by nearly another hour of Q&A in which both Dr. Peikoff and Dr. Yaron Brook take part.
