"Only Steyn and Ann Coulter can put it in such great perspective."
Steyn writes like the late great Michael Kelly, killed in Iraq. Kelly was courageous and brilliant.
You said it. The late, great Michael Kelly was a treasure. Courageous, brilliant, and a writer we miss to this day.
[I used to think Andrew Sullivan was close to Michael Kelly's level, except for one little thing. But, of course, that little thing has now consumed Sullivan and his writing and twisted everthing in his universe to its service. The comparison between Kelly and Sullivan now stands in embarassing relief as it has been revealed what was the most important thing, the essence of each human being:
Kelly--devotion to his calling as a journalist and his willingness to put everything on the line and embed himself with the troops in a war he believed in;
Sullivan-- well ..... his one little thing has distorted all that he previously professed to believe in.
