This past Friday, Dan Henninger's Wonder Land column1 gave readers a chance to contribute money to help restore seven small TV stations in Iraq. The project is the joint idea of the First Marine Expeditionary Force in Al Anbar province, west of Baghdad, and Spirit of America, a philanthropy begun by Los Angeles businessman Jim Hake to assist American GIs in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I think it is worth pointing out that the WSJ leans right, at least as far as the leftstream press goes. Liberals tend to be cheap bastards...they want the gov't to do everything and will never open their own wallet. The charity comparisons between red and blue states are always amusing.

Not to be a cynic but perhaps they should keep the excess funds available for rebuilding the station after it's bombed by the religion of peace fanatics.
