Bump for an excellent article.

[Cultural Jihad]

Excellent essay.

[AuH2ORepublican]

As usual, Steyn is right on target.

[Rummyfan]

Excellent, excellent Steyn!

Let the UN die its deserved death.

[IGOTMINE]

Steyn...totally irreplaceable.

[Question_Assumptions]

Bump for later.

We need a word beyond "Brilliant." Steyn has a an ability to draw conclusions from a vast knowldge of history.

I hope everyone involved with the future of Iraq will read this and take it to heart.

Once we have most of the facts on Galloway, I hope Steyn will do an article on Galloway's pronouncements and the drum beat responses to them. Saddam was paying Galloway to say what he said; most of the usual leftists responded because they were leftists, willing to jump on any anti-American bandwagon, although some were, surely, also on Saddam's gift list. Check out Pilger, as well. Has Tommie the Commie's wife also been taking cash from Saddam?

Many thanks for your dedication to Steyn ping-ation. We never, never tire of this man's genius and honesty...

[jayef]

Do you suffer under the notion that less Steyn would be a good thing? I find myself always wanting more. Longer articles, whole treatises, whole books even would be my preference.

I wrote this yesterday in relation to some idiot professor's contention that Mark Twain was a "liberal" in the modern sense, and this article by Mark Steyn proves the point:

It's a bit ironic, but IMHO the one current pundit who seems to come closest to Twain in ability to turn a phrase and stick it deep with a twist of the blade is a Canadian, Mark Steyn. He's not Twain's equal, nobody is (how many essayists have written novels still being read after 130 years?), but he'll do.

Steyn is the best writer I know of who is working as a columnist today.

[Howlin]

Because no Americans or ‘Zionists’ are involved.

That says it all.

[beckett]

A good one. He makes a great case. The versatility of Steyn's talent and mind is astounding.

[headsonpikes]

I wish that Steyn would lengthen his columns!

;^)

[Howlin]

One Saturday night a while back, I went over to the Telegraph site and just sat and read every one of his columns.

I had quite a good time that night.......LOL.

[Mark de New Brighton]

Will the Belgian government approve the complaint of ‘genocide’ against Tommy Franks? The petition accuses the general of ‘inaction in the face of hospital pillaging’, which apparently meets the Belgian definition of genocide. Unlike the deaths of more than three million people, which is the lowball figure for those who’ve died in the civil war in the Congo — or, as I still like to think of it, the Belgian Congo.

As much as I love Steyn when he's funny, he's even better when he's angry. I'd ask for a cleanup in the Belgian waffle aisle after that, but there's really nothing left.
