How do moats, alligators, headscarves, and populism have to do with the same blog post?

Here are some more articles I read from VDH's website that I recommend:

Even to talk of illegal immigration earns slurs. But here is the reality of the discussion. "The Philosophies of Illegal Immigration" - Victor Davis Hanson, 7/3/11

The hypocrisy and failure of Democratic reforms and policy has given a black eye to populism. "The Evidence of a Bankrupt Populism" - Victor Davis Hanson, 7/2/11

Islamic attire for women is back in the news. "Why Muslim Demands for Headscarves are Exaggerated" - Raymond Ibrahim, 7/6/11


The last article considers how the ban on headscarves in places like France has actually resulted in a dramatic increase in tourism from the Arab Middle East.
