Last night, before I went to bed I checked out the Pravda of bloggers, Instapundit.com. Glenn Reynolds had noted that the Council on American-Islamic Relations had one of those little Web polls up. The question: Should Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon be tried for war crimes? Glenn suggested that his readers may want to make […]

[I] don't know if anyone has done a calculation, but it's obvious that the […]
