Not all Lebanese support Hezbollah

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Take a minute to visit the “This Ongoing War” blog referencing this article from the Sydney Morning Herald. Here’s a quote from one Lebanese Christian:

“I do not like Hezbollah,” said Mr Hasrouni, who still is afraid to visit his groves. “I am disappointed with this war because Israel didn’t really do the job […]

Atomic Breakthrough?!?

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Well that’s not good.

Here’s one story:

TEHRAN (AFX) - Iran will soon announce an atomic breakthrough, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported today, a day after the country responded to an offer aimed at resolving a nuclear standoff.

‘This great scientific achievement is the fruit of a long-term research project … It will be formally announced by […]

The Multicultural Lie and the Clash of Civilizations

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Mark Steyn, is definitely my favorite Canadian-born, gun-toting, half-Jewish, half-Catholic, confirmed Anglican, practicing Baptist journalist living in New Hampshire. No wonder he extols the virtues of Western pluralism. In this amazing speech, he illustrates why some cultures are better than others, no matter what the multicultural fetishists say:

Two hundred years […]

Don’t you feel safer now?

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

I’m so glad the TSA is on top of things. John Derbyshire shares his recent traveling experience on The Corner:

(1) The lady who scrutinized my driver’s license at Missoula airport told me it was out of date. It reads “EXPIRES 06-03-11.” After some argument, I showed her my pistol permit, which says: […]

A big segment of Hollywood spoke out against terrorism in a full page advertisement in today’s Los Angeles Times:

The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt. Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, […]

Finding Humor and Irony in 9/11?

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

I don’t think I saw this Jonah Goldberg article when it was originally written in 2002. But it was resurrected on The Corner today and I think it’s worth a mention.

“Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell” was one of the first headlines from “The Onion” about September 11. “God Angrily Clarifies ‘Don’t Kill’ […]

I got it, Sarge

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

I haven’t seen it yet, but World Trade Center is definitely one those few movies I will see in the theater, rather than waiting for the DVD. Lots of people seem to be surprised at what a good job Oliver Stone did, given his history and politics. From all accounts, it strikes […]

25% of British Muslims Say London Bombings “Justified”

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Also, 45 percent “believe the 9/11 attacks on New York were a conspiracy between the United States and Israel,” and a “third of those questioned said they would rather live under Sharia law in the UK than British law.”

Sure, “most” Muslims are not terrorist sympathizers, but what do you do with the fact that such […]

Profiling

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

I found this via Iain Murray on The Corner:

Sometimes only a cartoonist can adequately express the foolishness of a situation. Matt, the Daily Telegraph’s cartoonist, is extremely good at this. His cartoon today on airport checks hits the nail on the head.

On the anniversary of the disengagement

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Some of the Israeli Livebloggers have reflections on what took place a year ago today.

Greetings from the French Hill has this:

Sharon told us all that after we left Gaza, if ONE Kassam rocket was launched into Israel, Israel would be in an excellent military position to fight and defeat the terrorists, it […]
