"The present conflict then is chiefly of significance as a study in whether the least enervated of western nations is capable of seeing off the terrorist proxies of nuclear Islamists. Because, if Israel can't hold off a resurgent Islam, what chance Norway or Belgium?"
That's true and brilliantly stated. What a treasure is Steyn!!

Here's the edge of the envelope on righteous indignation in print. Mark seems to have patented the words that exactly state the vileness against which he inveighs, without descending into the same pit of anger and hate.
And manages to add yet more muchable quotables, as if it's as easy as snagging flies in the outfield.

Bloody awesome.
Steyn sings wisdom and singes truth all at the same time.
Recommended read to anyone sane out there.

The biggest issue, or step forward from the terrorist's perspective, of the recent Israeli conflict, is that the UN and certain nations recognized Hezbollah as a de facto state actor, when they are really nothing more than a criminal organization. It's akin to negotiating with the Mafia!

"So, unlike Bush's support for Afghan women, your support makes no difference."
That one line sums up what it means to be a modern lefty, all talk and "compassion" but never ant action.

It would never have occurred to those Jordanian wives-beaters to ill-treat their womenfolk had it not been for 24 years of nominal British rule.His phrasing and modulation are perfect.

They think that putting a 'FREE TIBET' bumper sticker on their car actually makes a difference, when all it really does is make them feel better.

Actually, it makes them feel superior without having to do anything substantive. |
