Stehen Schwartz, author of one of the best books of 2002 (The Two Faces of Islam), has written an excellent piece on the Red-Brown Alliance, or what he calls "The Two Faces of Fascism." While I'm usually hesitant to recommend articles from Front Page Magazine, you really should read this article. It's about the historic alliances between far-left and far-right political groups, and how this old pattern has begun to repeat itself again.

I mean, really, can you even tell a Buchanan voter from a Nader voter these days, except perhaps by age and dress code?
