Let’s launch a ‘cultural offensive’ against militant Islam, Brown tells Bush
This sounds great until one realizes that both Brown and Bush are in total denial about the deep roots of jihad and Islamic supremacism within Islamic theology and tradition. Can we really fight the war of ideas effectively while ignoring and denying the true nature of the conflict itself? And then when you see what […]
Olmert implementing Palestinian “Return”
Another goodwill gesture. A deadly precedent.

Pace University Qur’an desecrator facing two felony charges

Fitzgerald: See Dick Nod, Nouri, or, Color Me Kubrick
As Bush videoconferences with his new best friend Nouri Al-Maliki, new echoes of Dr. Strangelove: Hello?… Nouri? Ah… I can’t hear too well. But the picture’s great. Do you suppose you could turn the music down just a little?… Oh-ho, that’s much better… yeah… huh… yes… Fine, I can hear you now, Nouri… plain and […]
