“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order. His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”

Say, would any of that new-found wealth making its way to religious schools in Iran have been the $8.8 billion of American taxpayers' money that went missing in Iraq and just can't "be accounted for"? Or would that money instead be part of the other hundreds of billions also spent by American taxpayers in Iraq to build "Iraq the Model" a/k/a "Iraq the Light Unto the Muslim Nations" that is the money that can be accounted for, that was deliberately plowed into the country, and spread around like confetti, so "Iraqis" could feel good about themselves, and about the wonderful Americans?
Diverted, or deliberately given, and then sent to Iran? Why should American taxpayers care? It's money well spent. It's cheap at the price -- $300-$400 billion, and counting. But who's counting? Just as long as Muslims (in this case the Shi'a, but it could also be the Sunnis) have enough money to pay for those religious schools, those madrasas and mosques which, as long as they remain in the right hands, the hands of such people as Sistani, and not in the hands of those who are guilty of the "perversion" of this "noble religion" (George Bush, State of the Union Address, 2006) will do us all just fine.
I don't care that funding of Medicare, Pell Grants, and other things like that are being cut. I want to see my money go to good things, like Sunnis in Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, and the "Palestinian" lands, and even in Iraq. But let's not overlook the Shi'a -- they deserve something too, so let's make sure that they get money in Iraq.
And since it is apparently against the law to supply the Islamic Republic of Iran with American funds directly, let's just let Sistani, and members of Dawa and SCIRI, and Moqtada al-Sada, hetman of the harafish, do it for us.
Saves on postage. And handling.
