Bought some more Danish fontina and Havarti cheese last week. When the Frïs vodka is empty, we'll buy some more of that, too.

I've been buying Aalborg Akavit to wash down my gravlax. Based on your suggestion, I'm getting some Danish Fontina tomorrow.

"Terrorism works. We've seen that. The EU has capitulated. They couldn't stand up to a cartoon."

No doubt about it: terrorism works. The American MSM has capitulated every bit as much as the EU.

At least with those spineless weasels it does. The average Joe and Jane may be another matter when they see it in their own lives.

Thanks. I like demonstrations as much as the next pajamahadeen (sp?), but think it would be more productive to bomb Saudi Arabia off the map. Then rub out Iran's mullahcracy. But I think we should let Assad stew in his own juices for a while, y'know, before someone drags him out and shoots him in the head.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I can't see Bashar al-Assad lasting more than another year or two.

That clueless, Jew-hating goober is going to get the shiv-probably from one of his father's former colleagues-it's just a question of when.

The Islamofascists have made attempts in the direction of overthrowing Baathism, but have been crushed up until now. The forced withdrawal from Lebanon cut off a source of cash, but had also been bleeding Syria dry in terms of young people fleeing to avoid compulsory national service. When the time comes, Syria's regime can count on help from, hmm, let's see... which neighboring countries... Iraq? No. Jordan? Doubtful. Lebanon? They're waiting for that party. Turkey? Not a chance. The most likely source of assistance is Israel, strange as that may sound today. ;')

And that ain't too likely.

Thanks.

"It was the arrogant Danish mullahs who patiently hawked those cartoons around the world (yes, don't worry, they are allowed to exhibit them as much as they like)"

A well made point. Similar to the concept that Muslims can and do kill hundreds of thousands of their bretheren without self-criticism. So the issue is really not the deed but the opportunity to attack the doer.

SAMMENHOLD: FOR DENMARK

By Michelle Malkin   ·   February 24, 2006 02:46 PM

Instapundit has photos of the pro-Denmark gathering at the Danish Embassy convened by journalist Christopher Hitchens this afternoon. Looks like there was a great turnout.

Lovely photo spread over at Vital Perspective.

Blogger Greg Tinti was also there with camera and reports:

The mood of the event was unbelievably positive and all the signs and banners were nothing but respectful. People came to express their solidarity with Denmark and support free speech and that's exactly what they did. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and met some great people too.

Greg estimates there were about 200 people and a lot of media. A few of his photos:

Hitchens addressed the rally

Made with LEGOs!

Bill Kristol was there.

Lots more.

Wonkette's David Lat has more pics...and requisite snark.
