		In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 in 2001, the Independent Institute launched a program of critical analysis of the “War on Terror” which was the very first high-profile analysis of both how targeted defensive measures would succeed and why U.S. preemptive, interventionist war and "nation-building" policies would not, including their effects internationally and domestically.
		The Institute also operates a special program for students[23], including a competitive essay contest for college students that awards cash fellowships; Sumer Seminars on Liberty, Economy and Society[24] for high school and college students; student internships[25]; and tuition assistance for disadvantaged families to send their children to private schools (Independent Scholarship Fund[26]).

	Why War? Independent Institute: Center on Peace and Liberty (Independent Ins) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		What is less understood is that all of the great empires in history have been characterized by a decline of reason and an increase in super-naturalist faith, combined with a belief in the empire with the emperor holding God’s “mandate” on earth.
		Probably even worse than the lives lost in vain in the Iraq War is the modern imperial presidency’s ability, using the excessive media coverage accorded to it, to sell the public on an unnecessarily broad “war on terror,” including the aggressive invasion of a sovereign country.
		In sum, although savage attacks against civilians should never be condoned, the harsh reality is that Russia, Israel, and the United States must expect further attempts by Islamist terrorists to attack their soil until the underlying cause of the terrorism is removed.

	The Independent Institute’s Response
		These were made as the Institute was aggressively and visibly promoting Microsoft’s cause during its antitrust trial.
		By pretending that the Times article shows that Institute research has struck “a sensitive nerve,” the title affects a posture suggesting that Institute opponents, not the Institute itself, are on the defensive.
		The sanctimonious objection to “stolen goods” (referring to information revealing the Institute’s attempt to distort public policy for private gain) suggests an utter lack of comprehension on the part of the Institute president as to the nature and responsibilities of the press.
