There are, of course, few successful conspiracies in history. Much of what superficially appears to be a conspiracy or often is cited as a conspiracy is more coincidence than conspiracy. Maybe the Gun Powder Plot was a conspiracy (amateurish though it was) but call anything a conspiracy and attract attention.
The latest troublesome or potentially troublesome manifestation - term it as you will - concerns the International Criminal Court, sometimes called the World Court, which officially sits in The Hague, Netherlands, but can hold court any place that will welcome, or at least tolerate, it. There is so much commentary on the subject that a brief summary should suffice for this Commentary.

When we began this series we were thinking we might write a dozen essays on where the conservative movement needs to go. Now we are at fifty essays and still counting; we have no intention of stopping here. Why not? Mainly because of the overwhelming response from people who see the need for something new if conservatism is to deal with the problems of the twenty-first century.
The Next Conservatism is not yet a movement but it may be on its way to becoming one. The February 12 issue of The American Conservative carried the Next Conservatism as its cover story in a piece we co-authored. Three other leading conservative thinkers offered their comments in the same issue. None was really hostile. We are also getting growing interest in the Next Conservatism from Capitol Hill.
