Well folks, I have to get going to sleep soon, as I am leaving early tomorrow morning for Washington, D.C. However, I do have some things to post before I go.
First of all, if you don’t already read The CounterRevolutionary, you need to start now. Also, you need read this column by Victor Davis Hanson RIGHT NOW. Not later, but now. Also, you need to read this other column by him as well. In fact, just go read all his columns. He has some very good points to make, and I agree with his stance. Here is a very brief exerpt that I find to be on the mark:
“Did the Arab states accept Israel’s right to exist between 1947 and 1967, when it remained within its U.N.-mandated (Resolution 181) borders? Hardly. Three wars were fought to destroy Israel itself, not to restore the West Bank for the Palestinians. We must remember that for all the talk of Palestinian grievances over the present occupation, Muslims are now allowed free access to their mosques in a manner Jews and Christians were not accorded for their own places of worship under Jordanian control. Desecration of religious shrines and cemeteries was a pre-1967, not a present, phenomenon.”
I am ardently against terrorists, in any shape or form. I thought that our President was also. However, as of late it has been seen over and over the United States is only against terror when convienent. It’s ridiculous. Yassar Arafat is a terrorist, plain and simple. Saudi Arabia finances terror, yet we do nothing. How long can we do nothing for? As put so well over at Counter Revolutionary, after the holocaust the world said “Never Again,” how do we know if Again isn’t just around the corner.
In any case, as The Onion put so well in this weeks “What do you think?”—Arafat can’t be a terrorist, afterall he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
Well, I need to get some sleep now. I’ll see you back here Sunday night.
