I have had the same thoughts many times in the last six months esp. Kudos, Mark and thanks for my signed book!

Pity the poor Iraqi official who had to explain to the guy that the orphanage has already got all the human shields it needs: they're called "orphans".

Brilliant! This guy can write... the above points out the complete cultural superiority complex of the bigoted "liberals" - they think their lives are more valuable than those of Iraqi soldiers, and than those of Iraqi children.

Ultimately, a "human shield" is a voluntary hostage, but I would suspect only a very few if any of them were quite sick enough to go for such a role consciously: most are simply deluded into thinking one westerner is worth 1000 foreigners, the precise philosophy of the false adversary they imagine when caricaturing conservatives.

TV is a poor substitute for an education.

The male "nudes for peace" stood around wearing their boxer shorts and, worse, little white ankle socks and sneakers. C'mon, guys, why so shy about letting us inspect your weapons of mass destruction?

Maybe it's because they didn't have the launch capability to penetrate a "no-fly" zone...
(sorry, I just couldn't resist...)

I wonder if his bravado would change if one fell in his vicinity...

Mark's the "man".

Must read! Too too funny. AND TRUE!

Anyone from the Saturday Nite Live staff listening? This is perfect fodder for a skit. Everyone gets worn out waiting for the war!

Saddam's ninety years old, countries at the U.N. have changed names (France's vetoe doesn't matter, there is no France anymore), protesters get too old, throw down signs in disgust etc....

Of course that would only illuminate that there is no rush to war.

Funniest (and truest) article I've read in many months.

[The Great Satan]

Bring it on, please.

Be careful what you wish for.

[Argh]

Wonderful! Hey, Irish, get a load of this.

Oh boy. Well, I've been a Steyn Fan (aka SteynSlut) before there was even such a THING known as a Steyn Fan, as the FR archive will attest. But now I know what my mission in life is: to earn enough money to buy my local (smallish town) paper and put this guy on the FRONT PAGE everyday!

Happy Dance for Mark Steyn!!!
