P.J. O'Rourke also pops up on today's Wall Street Journal op-ed page. [link for subscribers only] Go check it out. Hopefully they'll put it up on the free OpinionJournal.com site this weekend. In the piece, O'Rourke humorously advocates the U.S. "recusing" itself from the rest of the world. To tide you over and pique your interest, I like this line:

One thing to whine about will be the fate of Israel. Without American safeguards that nation is certain to be militarily attacked. To judge by previous Israeli wars, in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 and 1982, the result will be serious headaches for Israelis as the Knesset furiously debates the status of Jewish settlements outside Damascus and on the west bank of the Euphrates.
