I've written before that a newspaper's letters to the editor columns are akin to a community forum (or should be). I think it's important to publish letters from individuals on the extremes. The public needs to know there are crazies out there -- on both sides. In this spirit of inclusiveness, I bring you this […]
A correction from Monday's New York Times: [A]n article on Friday about Syria's intention to withdraw its troops from Lebanon paraphrased incorrectly from a comment by Imad Moustapha, Syrian ambassador to the United States, after he acknowledged that his country had used its influence to have pro-Syrian candidates offered for the Lebanese Parliament. He said […]
That is, unless you're captive to the Oslo "Peace" Accords and naive enough to believe that all the Palestinians want is peace. The new leader of the ruling Fatah movement said the Palestinians want to replace Israel with a state of their own. Fatah chief Farouk Khaddoumi said the Palestinian strategy toward Israel was two-fold. […]
I'm glad that the verdict in the Scott Peterson case came in today -- guilty -- but not because I've been one of those people breathlessly following the case. This will quash the fawning coverage of Yasser Arafat's burial.

It's a travesty that an evil, unrepentant terrorist like Yasser Arafat got to die in his sleep. CNN's graphic is also particularly disgusting. Will Osama bin Laden get similar treatment when we finally send him to meet his maker? The man was a terrorist. He was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. […]
From "Best of the Web Today": French doctors are carefully watching terrorist leader Yasser Arafat; if his condition improves significantly, they may be able to pronounce him dead today.
Let's pray that this trend continues in Iran. During a speech to high school students in Tehran six months ago, Shiite cleric Hasan Mohammadi from the Ministry of Education declared, “Unfortunately, on average every day, 50 Iranian girls and boys convert secretly to Christian denominations in our country.” After the speech, which was reported by […]
Another death that will likely be laid at the feet of the Israelis occurred today when a 15-year-old Palestinian youth tried to stop some of Yasser Arafat's goons from launching rockets into Israel from near the kid's home. So the members of the Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades shot and killed the kid and wounded five […]
Saudi security forces raided an al Qaeda hideout yesterday, seizing weapons and explosives, killing and arresting terrorists, and finding the head of murdered American Paul Johnson in a freezer.
