I’m planning a much longer post on the subject but two questions for Joe:
Did they deserve this in 1967 when the lands now claimed by the Palestinians were held by Jordan and Egypt?
What exactly have the Palestinians done to deserve this state?
Yesterday at the Oscars that I didn’t watch, a movie that I didn’t see, painting yet another grim picture of a war that hollywood still doesn’t support managed to win an Oscar.
War is a grim thing and those who fight it understand that its ending is a wonderful thing but wars are fought for a reason and for a result.
Meanwhile in the real world Iraq had an election yesterday and despite violence by those who want to kill this very young republic. They don’t seem to be succeeding.
Hollywood’s biggest failure has been their repeated attempts to convince the American People that Iraq is Vietnam and their attempts to paint the soldiers of Iraq the same way they painted Vietnam vets.
We have been warned over and over and over again about what is coming. If we don’t take it seriously then the consequences of stopping it will be partially our fault.
It’s up to you do you want to worry about this:

And if you are gay, don’t think this is an anomaly:
Three cousins from Hayward have been charged in San Francisco with a hate crime and assault for allegedly firing a BB rifle at the face of a man they believed was gay, an attack the men videotaped, authorities said Wednesday.
Mohammad Habibzada, Shafiq Hashemi and Sayed Bassam, all 24, are scheduled to be arraigned today in San Francisco Superior Court. They are free on $50,000 bond apiece.
This show has played all over Europe, it’s only opening here. Look at the Memeorandum link. It is no coincidence that only conservative blogs are covering it. If the shooter was a Mormon or a Catholic it would be the lead everywhere.
What’s it going to be America?
Let’s take the way back machine to December of 2008 in the first few weeks of this blog…
You can take this to the bank: Any successful attack on American soil during an Obama administration is going to be wholly owned by not only that administration but the Democratic party.
It won’t matter how diligent or responsible the administration has been. It won’t matter that they acted in good faith which any fair minded person must assume. It won’t matter if like Hornblower in Hornblower during the Crisis members of the current administration and people who understand how hard it is to be right every time rush to their defense. The public will remember who succeeded in protecting the country and who failed particularly if a major population center is successfully hit.
This was written in reference to trials (and lo and behold they will not take place) but they work equally well with this:
That brings us to the main point. Republicans have mostly supported this bill because they believe it a necessary tool for counterintelligence and counterterrorism. Democrats mainly opposed it as a way to rally political opposition to Bush and the Republicans. Now that they’re in charge and responsible for preventing attacks, that Patriot Act looks pretty darned good to most of them.
There is nothing like actually having responsibility to make people choose to act, well responsible, after all this isn’t just a question of a few dollars for pals, this is a question of life and death..
