Can I have some of what he ate?
Wish I could fit THAT on a bumper sticker.
Bravo.
Sunday morning clarity ping.
. . .good one. . .
. . .now Hitchen's article should be copied and left casually on a table in Starbucks; or Barnes & Noble, Borders; wherever et al. . .'left behind' in a magazine or two. . .
. . .this for the 'discreet' activist or those who like a quiet approach; but also a good way to share and inform those who will never otherwise see it/read it.
. . .kind of a Freeper's share program. . .
I guess if we had been able to ger Hitler's ear, we could have gotten him to compromise, and come up with a "semi-final" solution that involved killing only three million Jews. And Pol Pot, having heard the brilliant arguments of the Birkenstock crowd, would have settled for the "killing field," a baseball diamond in Cambodia. After hearing the brilliant rhetoric of the Patty Murray wing of the democrat party, Osama might have been convinced to compromise, and only blow up one of the Twin Towers. Saddam might be convinced by the brilliant musings of Barbra Streisand and Sean Penn to only use laughing gas on the Kurds. Indeed, children everywhere must learn that the best way to deal with bullies in school is to only give them half of your lunch money. Then, they'll surely leave you alone.
Bingo! The "potluck peaceniks" are united by only one common denominator: Their loathing for President Bush. No matter the evidence of Saddam's evil intentions, it wouldn't be enough for them.
"..If the counsel of the peaceniks had been followed, Kuwait would today be the 19th province of Iraq (and based on his own recently produced evidence, Saddam Hussein would have acquired nuclear weapons). Moreover, Bosnia would be a trampled and cleansed province of Greater Serbia, Kosovo would have been emptied of most of its inhabitants, and the Taliban would still be in power in Afghan-istan."
Who but C. Hitchens would bother to tick off proof positive that these wrong-headed loathers don't deserve to be taken seriously?
C-Span's Washington Journal question of the day was, should history be considered before we go to war with Iraq? Obviously not, by the peaceniks. They can't, or won't learn from, or admit to, their mistaken past positions. How could they possibly apply WW2 and Cuban Missle Crisis lessons to the current decisions President Bush must make
"..the continuous involvement by the Iraqi secret police in the international underworld of terror and destabilization. I could write a separate essay on the evidence for this;.."
And I hope he will write this piece soon. C.Hitchens' interests, friendships, and personal knowledge about the Kurds should be a factor in public debate.
.."The Iraqi and Kurdish peoples are now, by every measure we have or know, determined to be rid of him."
He knows whereof he speaks.
"..Should I patronize the potluckistas, and ask them to look up the pictures of poisoned birds and marine animals from that year?"
Go ahead, C... Patronize away!
These peaceniks would toss overboard all their sacred cows in order to make President Bush walk the impeachment plank. Yesterday, pro-choicer Jesse Jackson said we must not go to war with Iraq, in order to preserve the peace for unborn generations. Huh?
One of the young women whined that student scholarship money was being spent on war toys for George W. Bush.
But astounding to me, are the lies of the left, the lies they must espouse in order to justify their zany logic. According to C-Span's female guest yesterday, an anti-war organizer, America bombed, killed, and destroyed innocent people in Afghanistan, and has never made retribution, never fed, clothed, or provided medical facilities for these victims of our aggression. She said many other countries spend more on foreign aid than America, that America spends it's money on bombs and weapons of mass destruction.
Lies, damnable lies. But C-Span airs them, boasts even, they aren't censored, and offering no challenge to truth.
But one honest and courageous voice can always be found. Thank you Mr. Hitchens.
