you know, I've about had it. Right up to here. For years I've read the reports and held a sidebar of hope, No more, Tonight, I've had it with them all. Now I want mass death and slaughter. Gone. I want them gone. All of them. Toast. The uglieness and violence need responded to in kind. Dead. Now. Nothing less than all.

This is why crushing the Islamic propaganda machines needs to be given a much higher priority. The average Arabic mind's astonishing credulity demands that their propaganda networks be destroyed. There is no limit to the disinformation and outright lies that can be absorbed by what passes for the Arab intellect. Their capacity for distortion, twisted logic and perversion of truth simply knows no bounds.
Until this world summons the collective will to begin eliminating the real source of so much aggression and barbaric savagery, we must satisfy ourselves with crippling Islam's ability to continue infecting its masses with the incredible filth they pass off as everyday news. The cartoonifada served notice of what we could expect in terms of reciprocity. Now is the time to act upon it.

#4 Someone needs to give that editorial essayist a dictionary & point out the entry for "tragic". Here's a hint: when it's an evil all-powerful cartoonish enemy, that's not tragedy, it's melodrama. Tragedy flows from the protagonist's own flaws - hubris, wrath, greed, duplicity, etc, etc. Lebanon's situation *is* tragic, because the causes are internal & to a certain degree self-generated. You could take up the northern Levant & deposit it on the coast of Terra del Fuego, six thousand miles from the nearest large concentration of Jews, and the people would create nearly the same sad scenes & disasters & butcheries, all while blaming Chileans, Argentinians, and the shadowy Penguin Conspiracy.

#6 What Verlaine said and it wasn't a "nearly".

#7 I gave up drinking coffee and reading Rantburg at the same time a LOOONNNGGG time ago. The keyboard expense was killing me - especially with these new 'wireless' ones...
