The brilliant Charles Krauthammer always writes something compelling. For political analysis, no one is better.

It is a reflection of the times in which we live, I think, that younger generations know what little history they do from listening to pop culture figures. Comedian Adam Sandler’s “Hanukkah song” is one such example. Actually, the holiday is quite interesting, and highlights a critical time in Jewish history. It is an eight-day…
