Article Name: "The Nationalist Dilemma: U.S. War On Terror" By Chris Farvel
The "Nationalist Dilemma" series addresses major issues in polity impacting the nationalist populist cause. The first, in this collection of reflective articles, concerns the current war on terror initiated by the United States after 9/11. Chris Farvel, boldly tackles issues of imposed collective norms by a reigning superpower. The problem, addressed here, stems from pursuits of global domination by military means while denying it's ethnic, nationalist and cultural dimensions. While U.S. military superior strength is undeniable, it risks loosing the greater battle simply by denying both the nationalistic character of this war abroad and the populist support for the war efforts at home.

Article Name: "A Cultural State Is Born In The Mind" By Richard D. Whitmore
This article asks a number of key questions regarding culture in the global environment and fundamentalist revivalism. The author offers numerous vital suggestions as to the ways and means to combat the status-quo politically and gain legitimacy and strength as a critical counter-cultural movement. Whitmore contends that, as our civilization progresses, less demarks our era as previous decades such as the 20s-70s. And it is this cultural void that is to blame for much of the crisis of society occurring during and after 9/11. This is in part due to the nihilistic abolishing traditions of the Marxist-Liberals who purposely undermined our civilisations own defence mechanisms. As a result we are much less adequately prepared to wage war and win a decisive victory against an ideogically and culturally stronger opponent. Whitmore concludes that our Western culture needs to be reaffirmed, changing every aspects of sociocultural life--we need to set back the clocks to an era that has successfully managed the depression as well as a world conflict such as the one we face today.
