"Mr. Fisk has had decades of experience in the Muslim world and is a widely acknowledged expert on the subject. That's to say, since Sept. 11, he's got pretty much everything wrong..."

ROTFLMAO!

Phil,

If you are not already, you should become a regular reader of Mark Steyn. He is an excellent writer, and this time he knocks the ball far into the night. In the bottom of the ninth. With the based loaded.

This is incredibly good. In one column he covers a wide spectrum of issues and focuses them down to a single bright light... brilliantly.

This is the kind of stuff that Pulitzers should be made of.

All of it is great, and not a single word should be missed. So I hate to abstract any of it for fear of implying that one part is better than another, but I can't help having a personal favorite:

Any old Ivy League professor can give droning speeches about America's "silent genocide"; any European Union minister can swan off to U.N. gabfests in Durban to apologize to Robert Mugabe for Western civilization. But, at a stroke, Mr. Fisk has dramatically raised the bar for standards of Western self-loathing.

Too true. Too too too too true. Apologies to Robert Mugabe for Western Civilization. That is the left. He has captured the Left. All of your Left are belong to Steyn.

"This is the kind of stuff that Pulitzers should be made of."

I had never heard of Steyn before the attacks, but now I think he's one of the best writers around-- I NEVER miss a column. I'm happy to see I'm not alone in my opinion-- he's in ALL the best places thse days: Wall Street Journal editorial page, National Review. Well-deserved success, and like you say, he looks like Pulitzer material to me!

This selfloathing thing with Mr. Fisk has sexual overtones. Masochists usually practice behind closed doors, but Fisk is out in the open. Shameful thing to see.
