hyperlinked "cycle of violence" ping
thx for the new ted kennedy audio in which he equates President Bush and Saddam. (The Chappaquiddick wonder is shameless.)

The Cycle of Violence:
NOW WITH HYPERLINKED INSTRUCTION MANUAL
It was clear to me that Connolley, a leftist, was attempting to subtlely equate that unspeakable subhuman horror with the Dems' BushBash du jour, the so-called Iraqi-prisoner abuse. (Equating the two explicitly would never sell, and besides, doing so wouldn't exactly be an image-enhancing move for Ms. Connolley, whose punditry has been certified never to breach the safely tautological.) When I began to hear other lefties use the same term in precisely the same context, it became clear that "cycle of violence" was the Kerry-DNC response to the al-Qaeda slaughter. By virtually ignoring the Nick Berg decapitation and instead continuing to foment the Iraqi-prisoner-"abuse" scandal, by attempting to draw a "cycle of violence" moral equivalency between the subhuman terrorists and a few infantile Americans, the left exposes its seditious, America-hating, power-hungry hand, its fundamental unfitness to serve... and a despicable brand of clinto-Kerryesque opportunism rooted in 60s-liberal cluelessness.
hen ceci connolley referred the other night (Special Report-Brit Hume, FoxNews) to the decapitation of Nick Berg by the islamofascist animals as "part of the cycle of violence," my hair stood up on end.
I can almost hear the whining. "We were on a roll with the Iraqi-prisoner "abuse." Why the [expletive] did al Qaeda have to one-up the Iraqi thing and kill our momentum?"
John Kerry is a self-confessed war criminal. What's really bizarre and funny about this is that he was lying. I don't believe that Kerry burnt down villages and slaughtered civilians. He was doing what he has done up to this day, smear other people for his own political advancement. If it takes admitting to the commission of war crimes, so be it.

Thank you, Mia. Thank you for setting about your work in a methodical manner and linking the Berg horror with the larger mess.
I still can't get beyond the ugliness of Berg's death and the filthy complicity of the media.
Archive everything. Link it all. Connect the fricken dots. We are alone on the sea and a long, long way from land. If we do not do these things, it is certain that no one else will.
The great hope is that this young man's scream will bring help...
You are a big part of the moral response.
