It is amazing to see this all happening , quicker than I ever thought.

Bump!

"The stability junkies in the EU, UN and elsewhere have, as usual, missed the point. The Middle East is too stable. So, if you had to pick only one regime to topple, why not Iraq? Once you've got rid of the ruling gang, it's the West's best shot at incubating a reasonably non-insane polity. That's why the unravelling of the Middle East has to start not in the West Bank but in Baghdad."

Steyn was right......we pulled the thread called Iraq.....and the whole region unravels.

Steyn rocks BUMP!

[ride the whirlwind]

And some even question whether being a delivery system for plastic explosives is really all life has to offer, even on the West Bank.

Progress is being made one heart and one soul at a time, as GWB likes to say.

The arabs are crossing the proverbial Rubicon. May the river be shallow and the shore near!

Bless you (for the whole article and for posting another brilliant Steyn in the first place)!! Thanks for the ping, Pokey. This was terrific!

Still snorting over the "Hosni vs. Hosno Name Recognition" line.

Please add me to the Mark Steyn ping list.

The state-run TV network hailed the president's speech as a "historical decision in the nation's 7,000-year-old march toward democracy".

LOL! One of the greatest Steyn pieces ever, and that's saying something! Thanks Pokey.

From the article:

And, for perhaps the most remarkable development, consider this report from Mohammed Ballas of Associated Press: "Palestinians expressed anger on Saturday at an overnight suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that killed four Israelis and threatened a fragile truce, a departure from former times when they welcomed attacks on their Israeli foes."

No disrespect to Associated Press, but I was disinclined to take their word for it. However, Charles Johnson, whose Little Green Footballs website has done an invaluable job these past three years presenting the ugly truth about Palestinian death-cultism, reported that he went hunting around the internet for the usual photographs of deliriously happy Gazans dancing in the street and handing out sweets to celebrate the latest addition to the pile of Jew corpses - and, to his surprise, couldn't find any.

Why is all this happening? Answer: January 30. Don't take my word for it, listen to Walid Jumblatt, big-time Lebanese Druze leader and a man of impeccable anti-American credentials: "I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, eight million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world. The Berlin Wall has fallen."

Ping yall!

Sure, you said Steyn was the best. And all I could say was I told you so...

[lainde]

Thanks Pokey78!

[Capriole]

Thanks for the picture, Pokey. I do think that we ought to institute a new policy, similar to the Ann Coulter thread policy: any Freeper who posts a Steyn article must also post a picture of him. For the benefit of female readers it ought to be a cute picture. This will do until we have something hotter.

Oh la la! Mandatory Steyn pic! BTT!

[Naomi4]

Beautiful. However did you manage to capture the picture to post here?

I love Steyn.
