Sen. Cruz wants to resurrect a program that targeted mosques, businesses, and students and never found a single terrorist lead. In the aftermath of 9/11, the NYPD established a surveillance-based Demographics Unit. There is little evidence that the program made New Yorkers any safer.

The confrontation can’t be found in any history books—the written word didn’t become common in these parts for another 2000 years—but this was no skirmish between local clans. Thousands of warriors came together in a brutal struggle, perhaps fought on a single day, using weapons crafted from wood, flint, and bronze, a metal that was then the height of military technology.
