You know, it's been interesting watching pundits and columnists adjust, first to the post-Clinton era, then to the post-9-11 era. Some of them can do it, some can't, and there are conservatives and liberals on both lists. Stein has been a real surprise for me. I always enjoyed his gonzo-journalism, sometimes hilariously obscene, take-downs of the Clintons and their retinue. But since January, and even more since 9-11, he's shown a remarkable ability to add layers upon layers of moral depth to what he writes without ceasing to be frequently hilarious.
Think only of Aging Chick Journalist Maureen, another columnist who made her mark being amusingly flippant about the Clinton Era. Contemplate - though only for a moment, it's not healthy over prolonged periods of time - her complete inability to find a key appropriate to the world we are suddenly living in, or even to realize she needs to do so, and Stein's real achievement becomes clear.

"Putting Jews at the center of this brings something else out of the closet." I agree, to a point.But come on. There's just no question anymore, let's face it. True, they clearly want to kill ALL 'affluent & happy' westerners anywhere they are, regardless of what their last name is or where they go to church. Yet, we simply cannot ignore anymore the virulantly vicious hatred against Jews which motivates the Robert Fisks and Osama Bin Ladens of this world, not to mention their sycophantic acolytes who will read their words, listen to their rants, and act upon their exhortations to kill the Daniel Pearls of this world (Robert Fisk's friend? Yeah, with friends like that, who needs ....SATAN?)

Just found the above on another website. No comment. Anyone have a take on Hector C's speculations?Given the nature of that site and the Aztlan movement, I'm not sure it's something you want to be citing as a source.

When Steyn is writing with his incisive wit, nobody can beat him.
In this case he dispenses with his wit and depends exclusively on his incisive insight and superb writing ability. He's laserlike in his observations and commentary.
Nobody can top him. Nobody.
